Transcript: The character Gul Dukat from Deep Space 9 on a video screen with the top text: “ATTENTION BAJORAN CITIZENS”
Bottom text: “YOU HAVE 24 HOURS TO EVACUATE TO THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE”
DS9 writers modeled the Cardassian occupation of Bajor (in part) after the Israeli occupation of Gaza. The book A Different Trek goes into detail if you want direct sources and a fuller discussion of how the Jewish-American writers and actors involved with the show didn’t think it was “ironic” as you put it.
Interesting, I’ll have to look into that. So far, I have rather identified Bajorans as the “space jews” and Cardassians as the “space nazis”.
