The first person to make a comparison with the Nazis has lost the argument. Yes, but...

Looking back over fourteen years of this blog, I’ve not gone that route: comparing this or that to the Nazis. I’ve only mentioned the Nazis in historical context. 

As in this post I wrote back in 2011. Which is pertinent to today. 

As an aside: note what I said about Julian Assange then: I didn’t like him much. I respect him more now and consider him a hero not a villain. That’s changing one’s mind. It’s remarkable how many people hold the same views throughout their lives on important issues, and are proud of it. But as John Maynard Keynes said “I change my mind when the facts change; what do you do?” Not that the facts about Assange changed; rather my understanding of the facts changed. I understood more about what he was doing. Anyway, that’s all peripheral to the main point of this post which is: Hamas really can be compared to the Nazis. And I said so in specific terms in this post. They even use the Nazi salute! Their ideology is explicitly Jew hatred; in their Charter, to exterminate all Jews, not just Israel. 

The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem from 1921, Haj Amin al-Husseini, was a poisonous Jew-hater, who worked with Hitler on the actual Holocaust. Which we must now call Holocaust 1.0, because it is now updated with graffiti on our streets as “Holocaust 2.0”. How can it get any more Nazi like? Al-Husseini was a mentor to (and distant relative of) Yasser Arafat, head of PLO and the progenitor of Hamas. It all ties together, all with Nazi connections. 

Good on Sky News Australia for talking more about al-Husseini, the Grand Nazi of Jerusalem. 

Bad on the Hamas luvvies, marching on our streets, calling for “One Solution”, today’s version of the “Final Solution”, Holocaust 2.0. 

But don’t mind that, says Rashida Tlaib, the US Palestinian congresswoman, “From the River to the Sea” is just “aspirational”. Right. Just like “Arbeit macht Frei” above Auschwitz is just a call for a good work ethic. 

Hypocrisy, writ large.  People we know, marching in London, in Sydney, in New York, calling for the murder of Jews. And we used to wonder “how could it have happened” in sophisticated Germany of the 30s? Well, here it is happening in sophisticated west of the 2020s. In front of our eyes. With the complicity of the MSM and of family and friends. Who are so caring about “the children of Gaza” (we all care!) that they countenance Holocaust 2.0.
