The Israeli government continues to struggle with a bill that would formally outlaw the use of the word “Nazi” or any other references to the Holocaust in anything not explicitly about history, an effort to stem its use in political debate.
The same issue is prominent in Israel’s foreign policy however, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underscored it today, reacting with fury to an op-ed in a Palestinian newspaper which compared his policy of making Israel a “Jewish state” to Nazi-style racism.
Not that Nazi and Holocaust references only swing one way, as just one day prior Israel’s Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon commemorated Holocaust Remembrance Day with a protracted speech about the “brutal” Palestinians and their Nazi-style plots to wipe out the Jews.
Indeed, Israeli officials commonly use Holocaust commemorations and events as a chance to rail against regional rivals, and have regularly compared literally every president Iran has had in the last several decades to Hitler.
An outrage, indeed. Hitler was a better painter.
He was also a better architect… 🙂
Every apartheid regime had its Hitlerism ideas, without such idea it wouldn't be called or named apartheid regime. Apartheid is a state of fascism and racism is part of the idea. The modernized version of what is known as "Neo fascist-fascism" is that they only use the word democracy, but in practical terms they are fascist or carry the idea in Hitlerism.
When it comes to throwing the term "Nazi" around, the Israelis are the worst. Just check out some of the proceedings in the Knesset where they accuse each other of being nazis among other things.
If this bill passes will Netanyahu file for trademark protection?
It is a total insult to Hitler to compare him to Nitwityahoo.
Poor guy. He doesn't even realize that he is the same as the old nazi.
Netanyahu – Hitler? The ONLY thing missing is the moustache.
The physical resemblance is quite striking.
He is outraged not because he was compared to Hilter, it was his belief in himself to worse than Him(hitler) and not fairly rewarded for that.
Justin Raimondo's op-ed today delves into the way WW2 , "the good war", is used to justify the the perpetual war state, bloated military budgets, interventions, and even the steady decline in our civil rights. He also goes into the facts that WW2 was not nearly as black and white as it is enthusiastically and even cynically portrayed. Israel of course has it's own methodology in it's use of WW2, "the holocaust", "never again", etc. In fact, the courageous Norman Finkelstein points out that the holocaust has become a large and lucrative industry and that continually evoking the holocaust is a political tactic as well. It justifies behavior, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, colonizing conquered territory, jews only laws and roads and communities, that anywhere else would be recognized as cruel and repugnant and racist. Israel goes to great lengths to maintain the WW2 imagery working for them and legitimizing their actions. Is there any where in the world more comparable to the Warsaw Ghetto than Gaza and the occupied west bank? Do the old newsreel of German stukas dive bombing and strafing refugees not remind anyone of Israel's continual assaults on unarmed Gaza and it's bombings of Lebanese refugee camps? Has anyone not heard Gaza called an open air concentration camp? We all remember the movies and newsreels of Nazi officers arrogantly harassing a woman or child on some occupied street, riding crop in hand. is that not exactly what the IDF does daily at it's countless checkpoints? Why is "Chosen" any different or less enabling of atrocities than "Aryan"? Antiwar ran a piece about jewish "settlers" rampaging through Palestinian towns smashing windows, burning cars, and beating people. Is that not like a pogrom or Kristalnacht? Another recent Antiwar piece describes Israeli soldiers burning the faces of Palestinian children with cigarettes. Is there any where in the world that is more directly comparable to Nazi Germany than Israel today? Now, Israel is trying to make it illegal to draw such comparisons. We must not let WW2 and the holocaust be allowed to enable despicable, dangerous and illegal behavior. Let us turn that imagery right back on the perpetrators. Do not allow Israel to control the words used to describe it's atrocities. Netanyahu, if the shoe fits, you are stuck with it. And, of course, it does.
Old Nazis don't die, they just move to Israel.

"Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country…. We have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?" – David Ben Gurion, Israel's first prime minister
Netanyahu is vastly escalating this process of stealing a country. The reason he's so mad is because the description of him as part of a new third reich is accurate. It would also be accurate to compare him to the white barbarian hoards that overran North America. Again, exact same thing.
