For many Palestinians, the memory of the holocaust is used to silence critics regarding the abuse of Palestinian human rights. However, that is not the fault of the victims of the holocaust. They were victims, and they were human beings from another time, and 12 million people died in the holocaust some say including 6 million Jews. The holocaust victims are victims of nationalism gone mad. You must fight oppression and repression in all places and times The Jews, who are the victims of the Nazis, are now practicing oppression against the Palestinians.

But how long will it last? How deeply will it affect him? How soon will he turn it around and accuse us of doing teh same to the so-called Palestinians (AKA arab squatters who came from all the Arab countries as soon as they heard the Jews were planning a State)

Regardless of what anyone says while seeing Auschwitz or any of the other camps it must not be politicized. We cannot know what horrors people suffered there, and this day must be used for remembrance and prayers for the souls of those who suffered. We should all be thankful that we did not have to suffer those days.

one time you claim you understand the pain of holocaust survivors and the next you acuse the holocaust them, you full of contraditions. did you ever heard of the Muslim devition in the SS army? or that Arafat uncle met Hitler, he was a big fan of him. I guess you like to forget some facts.

moral equivalence is not applicable here. jews of europe were completely innocent, guilty of being born jewish. palestinians are guilty of either relating to terror and/or rejecting living in harmony (example: the "land for peace" formula, where palestinians withhold peace/engage in violence) at every opportunity. besides, in both the holocaust and the israeli/palestinian conflict today the common denominator is still, unfortunately, the goal to commit genocide on the jews. palestinians happily choose this over any notion of coexistence.

is nothing but cheap pr.... who is he kidding? the arabs will always doubt the holocaust and its scope... they'll always blame its occurance for the state of israel... and privately, they'll always complain that hitler(imach shemo) didn't finish the job.... equating the hohlcaust and arab suffering is as if allowing a lepper to judges a beauty contest... get it- there's never been a" lost palestine", and the arabs' sufferings are all self- induced to prepegate this conflict.

more than 150,000 Mischlinge fought for the Nazis in WWII. One way or another, at least 6,000 full-blooded Jews served in the Wehrmacht.

. There are articles contradicting him , and they do it more seriously .

Today we have Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein, and the list goes on and on and on ...

You say, "they were human beings from another time". No. They live on in us, the Israelis. They are the people that I am conscious of all the time -- my grandparents that I never met; my uncles and aunts that I never met ... And you, the Judean Arabs must accept some responsibility: your leader went to Hitler and formed a Muslim army to hunt Jews in the Balkans. After WWII, Nazi war crimes defendants cited the Mufti of Jerusalem as a potent force in convincing Germany to implement the Final Solution.

I think I speak for most Israelis when I say that we want to respect Judean Arabs and not oppress them, but we will oppress any Arab ideology that has as its objective to replace Israel with Arab rule. None of us -- Jews or Arab -- needs the mess that exists in states that surround us.
