The proper American history event to compare to 10/7 was Nat Turner's Rebellion. What we are witnessing from Israelis and their Zionist allies the fear we saw from slave owners at a slave uprising, suddenly afraid their whole system of inequality will come crashing down and their evils come due.

Netanyahu "Did the Nazis ask the Jews to leave? Did any of the genocidal leaders ask people to leave so they could come in? Of course not." Netanyahu openly compares his actions to Nazis and all the genocidal leaders. His own words.
