#1 Nazism chic: Absolute silence against the two genocides perpetrated in Sudan. Horror cries about imaginary israeli atrocities => Joooooos are eeeeeevil => We can hate them (and by Arabs intermediary) wish them exterminated without being called Nazis.

I have called it Nazism chic but in fact it is Nazism for cowards.

#2 Well, they are *Germans*. It's a pity our first deployable nukes were finished *after* the German defeat.

#3 Zhang, I'd like to be offended by that. But, all I can say is that it wouldn't have fixed em.

#4 There is also a big difference in "concept". That is, in Germany and in the rest of Europe, the despised minority of Jews were pushed into ghettos and kept apart from the rest of society.

In Israel, the Paleos are pushed into what could be their own country, if they chose to keep it as their own country; but they refuse, and want to take over Israel and destroy the Israelis.

What, the Israelis could coyly say to the Germans, would the Germans do if the Jews had violently tried to take over all of Germany and drive out the Germans?

#5 If I wanted to be really snarky, I could point out that the Germans, if anyone, should know what they're talking about with respect to holocausts.

(TGA, if you're still out there lurking, please don't take that personal.)

#7 This is a good example of the failure of critical thinking in the West. These guys should be forced to stay in Dachau for a month.

The alleged moral equivancy between suicide bombers at Passover Seders and anything the Israelis do is breathtaking.

#8 "This is something that is done to animals, not people."

Or to people that act like animals. No offense to animals.

#9 German anti-semitism and romanticism of arab virtue. I read Mein Kampf - in translation admittedly - but this is all sounding strangely non-surprising.

#10 ...and then there is the arab romanticism of the german anti-semitism and racist virtue.

#11 Every German I've met has a deep, deep, sense of guilt over the Holocaust. A simple, public, HOW DARE YOU MAKE SUCH A COMPARISON would shame these Bishops far more than any logical arguement.

#13 I must be very unobservant. I don't believe that I ever saw an Israeli operated death camp when I was in Israel. As further proof that the Israelis have not followed the German model, there doesn't seem to be a booming market in articles made from rendered Palestinians. This is just one more example of the devaluation of language by the left. Everyone they disagree with is a Nazi; everyone they agree with is a hero. They live in a world of complete reality distortion and like it that way. That is why Europe, for the most part, is irrelevant to the rest of the world, the mouldering corpse of a once great civilization.

#14 In Israel, the Paleos are pushed into what could be their own country, if they chose to keep it as their own country; but they refuse, and want to take over Israel and destroy the Israelis.

A simple comparison between the reasons for the walls/fences in Nazi Germany and Israel (i.e. keeping people in vs. out) should be all the logic needed to puncture such stupidity. Spiteful, self-induced delusion, alas, is not so easily punctured.

#15 Nazi Germany did not have fences to keep people in, in fact the Nazi's had trouble keeping their military age men inside the recognized German borders. They were all over Europe and North Africa the buggers.

East Germany had walls.

#16 When Israel starts killing 10,000 Palestinians a day for months on end, they can think about equating Israel's actions to the Holocaust.

During the height of the Intifada, Israel was killing 3 Palestinians a day.

I.e. It's not even close!

I bet you missed those concentration camps that Haliburton runs for transexuals in the deserts of Arizona, too. Thank God(dess)for Democratic Underground or we'd never hear about them, either!
