The operation in Gaza put an end to the European taboo on equating Jews to Nazis. That message was one of the conclusions of the first international panel discussion on anti-Semitism following the Gaza invasion, which was held in Jerusalem Monday on the eve of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Speaking at the panel, which was part of the World Jewish Congress plenary assembly, Professor Dina Porat said, “the comparison has now become self-understood.” She added this applied not only to Muslims in Europe, but among “leftist circles.”
I personally refrain from comparing Israeli actions to Nazi Germany, but reading a report such as this, from yesterday’s Washington Post, makes me wonder.
