    “We really would have liked to keep them alive, but we are just forced to kill them now”

    The Nazis took a decade and a half of dehumanizing Jews before escalating into the industrial genocide that was the Holocaust. We already had two decades of dehumanizing Arabs and other “brown” people. We already had people argue on major news outlets that it would be “best” to let as many people drown as possible in the Mediterranean so that less people would try fleeing in boats. As things are moving, Europe could become the gas-chamber operator for the US as it sets the entire Middle East ablaze.
