I think one can criticize what the current Israeli government is doing 
without descending into needlessly vile and quite totally unsupportable 
comparisons. (There is a filthy irony, of course, in seeing Jew-haters 
compare Israelis to Nazis, since Jew-haters generally tend to admire what 
Hitler and his minions were trying to do - that is, when they are not 
attempting to deny what the Nazis were trying to do.)

In any case, the Israelis are not Nazis; this is not to defend what Sharon is 
doing, but let's be reasonable here. We can criticize him without descending 
into the gutter.
