They were not "gold" stars

[Bmoboy]

Gold stars are what you get when you do well on a spelling quiz. They are a reward, a prize.

Jews in Europe were forced to wear yellow stars so they could more easily be targeted for persecution, violence, and murder.

No gold stars for victims of genocide.

1. Who is saying otherwise?

3. Every story about MTG

Beyond directly quoting her ignorant use of the term "gold stars," every news article uses the same phrase in discussing the issue.

2. Honestly that's why I personally will always support Israel

What they went through is so tragic. Horrible history for them to have to live through day in and day out. So recent too.

[SCantiGOP]

5. I support them too

But I don’t support their racist apartheid policies against the Palestinians.

[jimfields33]

6. Yeah. They have to clean that up.

How? Not sure. The two don’t get along well. Getting rid of Hamas would be a prudent start.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Right there with you!

What they're doing to the Palestinians is beyond criminal.

8. Aren't gold stars for the families of fallen service members?

Greene is an idiot.

She doesn't know what she's talking about.

She's an ignorant racist.

10. I totally agree. But the nazis/Fascists during WWII used a variety of identifying "badges"* to

identify their religious and political enemies, whether in the general population or in the prison/death
camps. Fascists then and now were/are the personification of evil.

* "Just as Jews were forced to identify themselves with yellow stars, gay men in concentration camps had to wear a large pink triangle. (Brown triangles were used for Romani people, red for political prisoners, green for criminals, blue for immigrants, purple for Jehovah's Witnesses and black for "asocial" people, including prostitutes and lesbians.)"
