Why Drawing Comparisons of Israel to the Nazis Is Anti-Semitic
(World Jewish Congress) Comparing Israeli policy towards Palestinians with Nazi policy regarding Jews is an example of Holocaust inversion, where reality is inverted (the Israelis are cast as the "new" Nazis and the Palestinians as the "new" Jews), and an inversion of morality (the Holocaust is presented as a moral lesson for, or even a moral indictment of, "the Jews"). Any alleged wrongdoings on Israel's part cannot be compared to the systematic attempt to annihilate European Jewry. The Palestinian population has grown by all metrics, and is projected to continue doing so. To compare this to the murder of millions of Jews during the Holocaust is preposterous.
