    (Jumping from an insult about dietary preferences to an insult about war crimes is not the same magnitude)

    False. The potato famine was a genocide. The potato blight hit all of Europe, but only Ireland suffered so badly. Why? Well it makes a lot more sense when you realise that Ireland was a net exporter of potatoes during the famine. England was stealing their potatoes through financial extortion and leaving them to starve. The Israeli guy made fun of genocide victims. It’s proportional.
