The Nazis systematically murdered 8 million jews just for being jews. They were german citizens and then later citizens of other countries. They were not a threat; they had no arms. the elderly, the women and the children were intentionally killed along with the men. In Palestine the killings however regretable or ill-advised are the result of retaliation for suicide bombings. The Israelis do not round up all palestinians. They could just bomb the palestinians indiscriminantly but they do not.
The comparison of israeli actions to Nazis is bound to inflict pain on jews. It is meant to do so. It is hateful. Only someone who is callous to the past and current plight of the jews could make such a claim. It is anti-semitic _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
