Let me ask you this. Was dropping atomic bombs on civilian cities any less cruel than deporting them to camps and killing them? I mean both were horrible, but the US knew full well what radiation did to human beings, as they saw first hand the horrible deaths of scientists exposed to it, and yet they dropped the bombs anyway.

If the war in Europe had dragged on they would have dropped those bombs on German cities too, I mean the Germans were who the bombs were originally intended for, hence the heavy Jewish involvement in the Manhattan project, and they were going to do this before anyone had even heard of gas chambers.

This is literally whataboutism.The allies liberated a total of 700,000 people from the concentration camps at the end of the war. Not a few people saying "hey, they were killing all of us," but 700 fucking thousand. What about the families of the 6 million deceased? Still around for the most part and can vouch that yup, the Germans killed our family member(s).

The term "whataboutism" is some stupid manufactured shitlib term used by neocons/neolibs in an attempt to obscure jewish misbehavior. You see it from shills on reddit all the time, and hear neocons in the media use it non stop.

So if for example some establishment neocon/libs are blathering on and on about how Russia invaded Ukraine, if you point out the US did worse to Iraq and numerous other middle east countries, or point out Israel routinely bombs neighbors and occupies Palestinians, they bring up this stupid nonsensical made up word whataboutism thinking that will somehow shut down all debate.

So yeah I'm not surprised you'd use the term so you can blather on and on endlessly about the holocaust.
