Seeing how the concentration camps were historically holiday camps with swimming pools and Nazi waiters, that should be fine with you shouldn't it MaGZ?

Gaza?
The West Bank is bigger, surely?
And as for Northern Ireland being a training ground for British military urban warfare - well, hey!, I was very happy to cooperate! Think you're tough? Bring it on!
(I am taking the piss here... all war/conflict is ***** - believe me, I do know this. And when it comes to fisticuffs, there is - in my experience - rarely such a thing as a "right" or a "wrong" side).

I would say Magz is correct if Israel controlled all of the area around Gaza.
But there is this troublesome border with Egypt. Somehow it is hard to have a concentration camp when there is another way out.
Also never heard of concentration camps being used to launch rockets.

You could add some valid sources since most people in here will tend
to think that "this is just another anti-semitic slur" - if I may quote
some reactions to your posts from the past...

From what I've seen in the past, MaGZ's definition of "valid sources" differs greatly from that of most people on this forum.

Maybe rightfully so?
I hope you are not giving holocaust denying scumbags any credit, only because they share some of your "critical" views about other countries?
That would be a new low, even for you.
Yes - and I'm British so I should know what is a concentration camp and what isn't!
I know that it is probably the Spanish that should get the credit for the invention of concentration camps but hey I doubt historical accuracy is going to play any part in this thread.
Maybe not. It depends entirely on your definition of "concentration camp." You may be using the term to describe a concentration of people in a place where they can occasionally go camping.
However, if you are using the traditional definition of concentration camp as carried out by the Nazis in Eastern Europe in the 1940s, I have a BIG problem with the statement, because your Gaza example is missing a few essentials such as gas "showers", crematoria, etc.
Good luck with your Islamofacist attempts at provocation.

Those were the "Vernichtungslager" - "destruction camps": Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Maydanek, Sobibor, Chelmno and Struthof, where the victims were brought in and (most of them) immediately murdered.
The "Konzentrationslager" - KL in Nazi parlance, KZ in modern abbreviation - didn't have gas chambers, or at most one very modest-sized one, because the object was not to immediately destroy the victims, but "merely" to lock them up, typically under-nourished, overworked and daily bullied by the camp guards. Death rates were very high, but not the prime objective. This applies to the majority of the Nazi camps: Dachau, Mauthausen, Neuengamme, Ravensbrück, Bergen-Belsen, Hertogenbosch, Theresienstadt, Dora-Mittelbau, Buchenwald, etc.
This type of concentration camp, as Darat noticed, was first used on large scale by the British in the Boer Wars, in an attempt to bully the Boers into submission by locking up their women and children, and also to deprive the Boers' guerilla style war from their needed operation base.

I don't know. Since JREF isn't about attacking each other, no matter
if "Scumbag" or not - I actually think that MagZ indeed is capable
to make a valid point by providing evidence to his claims.
ETA: Asking for evidence is in no way "a new low". Never was - never will be...

MagZ is a known neonazi. Miiiight want to start paying attention to post histories there.

Depends. How do you measure the largeness of a null set. I mean, Israel doesn't have any concentration camps, and Gaza isn't Israel's and isn't a concentration camp. So technically, I guess since Israel doesn't have any concentration camps anything is Israel's largest concentration camp. I mean, the Tel Aviv International Airport could equally be described as Israel's largest concentration camp, as could, say, the off-switch on your own keyboard.
Well, that was a fun intellectual exercise. Which way to the fact-based forums?

You also know what it's like to have large numbers of people trapped between a powerful army and the sea, and what happens when the army is intent on actually pushing you into the sea.
I judge the jejune attempts at hyperbole to be rhetorically pointless except in exposing deficiencies in the critical thinking abilities of the OP.
These boards are not like other boards. There aren't too many, even of the sympathetic to your cause, who will cheer loudly, like they would at a NASCAR board for a pic of a biker chick with her breasts hanging past her belly button.
Maybe Little Green Footballs, or Salon.com would be more your style.
