Israeli demagoguery is reaching new heights. Or should I say, depths. The problems with such loose talk are clear. For one thing, Holocaust analogies trivialize and devalue the enormous evil of Hitler's Holocaust. If you have any understanding of the monstrous acts that ravaged our people more than 50 years ago, your conscience simply won't allow for comparisons.
Any comparison is blasphemous.
Even worse, in our context, is the delegitimizing, demonizing use of World War II epithets. Call him a Nazi or say that he is causing a Holocaust. There is no need to see the other side of a political argument, especially if the opponent's views are diametrically opposed to yours. Just brand him a Nazi and be done with him. Once upon a time we tended to chalk up such rough talk to Israeli gruffness and shrug it off.
