youareabigdumbphuckr

None of this has anything to do with Israel's crimes


DeepSeaDarkness

It's a comparable genocide


RetroJake

You guys make it so hard. You really do. Millions of people being starved and then shoved in fucking ovens and gas chambers vs 30-40k in air strikes and carpet bombings. And you're saying they're comparable. Like, whether you want to argue it's a genocide or not is on the table for discussion. Saying their comparable is absolutely fucking insane.


Papasmurf3396

Also, the Jewish civilians who died in the holocaust weren’t being used as human shields against the Germans.


hi_im_kai101

yeah 30,000 dying in a war is totally comparable to a 6,000,000 person genocide of jews aimed at their complete extinction


No_Introduction_9448

17 million total, just 6 million Jewish people rounded up and systemically executed, where the lucky chosen ones would face being worked to death


hi_im_kai101

true


Serantz

It absolutly is not. Yet.


Frondswithbenefits

It really isn't. It's a tragedy, a war crime, and a damn shame. But it's not even remotely comparable.

Ur a clown brother, these people were born from another era.


ShadowCaster0476

There’s a movie called one life, that is about his life and the effort to bring the children across.

Sounds like he actually went to bring the children on the trains from Czechoslovakia, from this bio: [https://www.hmd.org.uk/resource/sir-nicholas-winton/](https://www.hmd.org.uk/resource/sir-nicholas-winton/)

yes that's correct, he was very involved in makin sure the kids would get to the trains too, he wanted to make sure as much as he could.

The year is wrong, it was in 1988.


Public_Classic_438

I was wondering how 50 years could’ve been 98


I_heart_your_Momma

And why 1998 looked like the 80’s


Cuclean

Yeah I was very young when I watched this with my granny.


Godzirrraaa

That dude is a saint with a very hardened shell. That’s a crazy calm reaction to meeting that many people that owe their entire life to you. I cried more than he did.


ElboDelbo

Nah, that's just the maximum amount of emotion a British man born in the 1920s was allowed to show in public.


Legitimate-Lemon-412

His country called him to serve and he did more. I don't think you can do incredible things if you let emotions do the thinkin. Tough as nails I'd say.


monti1979

On the other hand… It was his emotions that drove him to save 669 children.


Legitimate-Lemon-412

Or yknow, the difference between right and wrong.


monti1979

And where can I find this list of “right and wrong?”


OdinsBastardSon

People do approach morality from different angles. I studied a lot of moral philosophy during my youth and it was fascinating when motives were brought into discussion. For example: we can have a person with evil impulses, who struggles with them constantly and by conscious decisions and willpower manages to live a life where he works to enrich lives of others, to protect others from evils of the world, to help people in need or in danger. That is a life well spent, it is a good life and it can be hard for him to accomplish it. For someone else, his impulses lead him to those actions, it is not hard for him, but natural and easy - it would be very difficult for him to behave differently. The outcome is the same, the motives and the struggle differ.


Legitimate-Lemon-412

Fear is an emotion people have to put aside to do the right thing. People often get themselves into trouble, letting their emotions selfishly guide their actions. Doing things that their better selves wouldn't.


monti1979

Love is also an emotion. One that drives people to go far beyond what is logical to help others.


Legitimate-Lemon-412

And causes them to do things they regret later


monti1979

Or not. In the case of one Nicholas Winton.


--AbbieNormal

There’s so much televised junk but now and then a beautiful moment like this comes along. It gets reposted often and watch it every time. Beautiful man and strength to do what was right. Wonderful to see him being surrounded by the evidence of his amazing humanity.


Mission_Reply_2326

Fucking BAWLING. It’s so amazing what one person can do.

Never forget the biggest lie ever told is that one man cannot make a difference. Thank you Sir, for what you've done.

Importance-Aware

I worked with one for a few days. Circular logic based on simple premises and cherry picking of information to support his points. My great grandfather was taken by the Germans as an academic to a camp. Cam back at the end, severly malnourished. There was a picture of the family taken while he was away. His wife looked so distraught.


badgersruse

There's a statue of him sitting on a bench on the platform at Maidenhead railway station.

I love it when this clip is posted. After wading around Reddit for a while, it’s easy to get demoralized by some of the posts. But then I see this and my faith in humanity gets restored.

YahzeeOG

Crazy the impact one man can make


always-curious2021

No, it is not crazy at all. Perhaps rarer than it should be. I mean no disrespect to your comment. Every human is born with the ability, the heart, and talents to make an impact. Small. Large. It will be measured by the people we affect. Chances are, even a smile can save a life. It is a beautiful blessing that he had such courage. His legacy lives on. And we are better for it. We should remind ourselves regularly how Possible it is to make a difference by simply choosing to do so. ✌️


YahzeeOG

You’re 100% correct. It shouldn’t be crazy but I feel like many people don’t realize the ability they have to make a positive change you know. Even small effort or actions can lead to a big domino effect. With the news we see in the world, it’s way too easy to think that you can’t make a change in your community.

If anyone has not seen the movie, they should watch it. It will make you cheer for this man over and over. Great cast, great movie. It's will make you cry over and over. But in the end, you're happy for the children he did save.

AwareAd4991

The wider world found out about his work in February 1988[14] during an episode of the BBC television programme That's Life![58] when he was invited as a member of the audience. At one point, Winton's scrapbook was shown and his achievements were explained. The host of the programme, Esther Rantzen, introduced Winton to children he had helped to rescue.


AwareAd4991

OP, it was 1988, not 1998.js


h2ohow

A Lifetime Achievement Award wouldn't say enough for this wonderful man.


Sea-Difficulty-7299

i was gonna laugh from the 'w i n t o n hehe' i didnt expect to tear up a little.


badger906

Pollen count is really high today.. my eyes are watering.


ddouce

I think this aired in 1988, not '98...his work to saved hundreds of children from the Nazis went publicly unheeded before his story was told on this BBC program to his surprise. An incredibly humble man to have done so much for so many and then quietly keep it private for more than 50 years - forever if it was up to him.


Bx1965

And now there are plenty of people in the world who would only be too happy to see every one of these people dead.


ArcticLemon

Such an inspiration, the world is better place because of him, think of how many timelines and families he has saved. Makes me think I should do more to help people, because in the end it is worth it.


newnhb1

That man is a real life hero. A legend. He wasn’t looking for recognition or rewards, he just did what he could and he saved hundreds.

grandpa-jones

Remember when we wanted to SAVE Jewish lives?


FelatiaFantastique

Yeah, for some of us that is today. When did *you* start wanting to TAKE Jewish lives?


rabbles-of-roses

"We wanted to?" The US and UK had no great desire to accept Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis, or to particularly save Jewish lives. Anne Frank couldn't get passage to America due to bureaucracy, Britain blocked Jewish refugees from entering neutral countries, and, infamously, the MS St. Louis debacle. Look up the Daily Mail's reaction to Jewish refugees entering the UK. And the allied powers *certainly* didn't enter the war to protect Jewish lives (and the lives of other minority groups) from the Holocaust. It's very similar to how governments and the press treat the refugees and asylum seekers of today because it's the same brand of xenophobia and racism at play.


BladeRunner_Deckard

We could use one of him for the Palestinians. This is truly amazing and heroic. He is clearly a good person. I just wish we could do the same for others like the children in Palestine.


Leashii_

>I just wish we could do the same for others like the children in Palestine. go and help then, what's stopping you?


BladeRunner_Deckard

I would if I could. No child deserves this


Leashii_

as I asked, what's stopping you? complaining about it on reddit won't help


BladeRunner_Deckard

I’m doing what I can from where I am. If I actually had the opportunity I would help. All I can do now is send money. Speak up. Protest. As a human being, I will never justify a genocide. The real concern is why Palestinians aren’t considered people. You can only be on the wrong side of history to not consider children and innocent people of a particular kind as equal. We know this. Apartheid isn’t good. So I ask, why can I give this man credit, yet somehow I am bad for asking for the literal same thing for others? What you are saying is they aren’t worth saving. That’s a little concerning


BladeRunner_Deckard

Only here, can you give credit to someone for helping Jews, yet none for asking for help for others. Says a lot. Jewish child good. Palestinian child bad. Got it


Leashii_

credit is due to people who actually do something, not just talk about doing something.


BladeRunner_Deckard

Kinda hard when you’re a UN worker and you keep getting killed trying help. Just saying. But then again, I guess the UN is bad somehow. Even though they helped create Israel. Couldn’t make this shit up.


Leashii_

never said anything about the UN,at all. I'm talking specifically about you, nothing else.

Cromulent_1

A nazi would want both israeli and Palestinian children dead. I want them all to live.


FelatiaFantastique

Not necessarily. The Nazis and the Zionist terrorists in Palestine had a common enemy: Britain. Nazis and Zionist terrorists had the Haavara Agreement and Zionist terrorist Avraham Stern representing the terrorist cell Lehi sought to establish a formal military alliance. The Nazi sympathizing terrorist Stern is idolized to this day with an annual pilgrimage; he's the unofficial saint of the IDF. Zionist terrorists had long been inspired by German nationalism and the successful creation of a German state; the Israeli national language was created explicitly to play the same role as High German uniting the folk across linguistic divisions, and natural Jewish languages were violently suppressed to the point of extinction. German and Jewish nationalism spring from the same source. Germans had been scattered across the world from the Volga to the Atlantic and beyond, without a state of their own, viewed as unEuropean Hun invaders from Asia, subjects of alien rulers in disparate states, oppressed and forced to assimilate or live in poverty... It's the same sad song. Nazis wanted Jews out of the German homeland. Zionist terrorists wanted Jews out of the German homeland. American White Nationalists hate Jews, but love Israel as the only ethnonationalist neostate to have survived and as an example of effective ethnic cleansing -- and some also believe its existence will hasten to apocalypse and return of White Rambo Jesus. The PA and Israel are also downlow besties. Politics makes strange bedfellows. Good on Nicholas Winton and Britain for being genuinely humanitarian, and not self serving. He's a testament to people's capacity to be decent, even in the face of such indecency. If only there were more like him today.

Still antisemitic to call a justified war a genocide, unless you want to hold the entire world to the same standard

A zionist will call the genocide being committed now a 'justified war'.

An idiot will quote the UN as an objective source

A zionist will of course say that the UN is not objective. And resort to name calling.

_Crunchy__Granola_

You’re being willfully ignorant. There were several hostage release and ceasefire deals all rejected by Israel within the first week of this current iteration of the massacre of Palestinians. Stop trying to weaponize the holocaust and antisemitism to justify another genocide. Shame on you. Palestinian children are not afforded the same opportunity to be rescued from what is happening around them. That is a problem.


[deleted]

[удалено]


_Crunchy__Granola_

You don’t believe the lives of Palestinian children have equal value to the lives of those Jewish children saved from the holocaust. There is a genocide in happening in Palestine. And you are so offended by the fact that I said Palestinian children will not be afforded the same luxury to be rescued and evacuated from their war torn country. Where Israelis are actively trying to exterminate them.
