The rest of the comments are an open expression of ethnic cleansing. They are confirmation of a war crime.

pretty telling comment here. Britain and America absolutely did feed and clothe Nazi and Japanese POWs during WWII. and they provided food and supplies to occupied territories as the war was won. the Hunger Plan by contrast was a Nazi thing

Amid rising starvation in the Gaza Strip, an Israeli government minister said on Thursday that Israel had no duty to alleviate hunger in the territory and was seeking to expel its population.
Amichay Eliyahu, a far-right lawmaker who leads Israel’s Heritage Ministry, said in a radio interview that “there is no nation that feeds its enemies,” adding that “the British didn’t feed the Nazis, nor did the Americans feed the Japanese, nor do the Russians feed the Ukrainians now.” He concluded that the government was “rushing toward Gaza being wiped out,” while also “driving out the population that educated its people on the ideas of ‘Mein Kampf,’” an antisemitic text written by Adolf Hitler.

This wilful ignorance, amplified by media lies and nationalist nostalgia, has enabled disaster capitalists to manipulate the ignorant, the arrogant, and the casually racist. God help us all—and I’m an atheist.

After slavery was abolished, over 1.5 million Indians were sent as indentured labourers to the Caribbean, South Africa, and Mauritius. Conditions were slave-like and often deceptive (Tinker, 1974).
