It’s true that the sadistic and systematic murder and kidnapping by Hamas of innocent Jewish victims, resemble the Nazis very much, but let’s not make the mistake of those terming it: a Holocaust.
The two are parallel for anti-Semites aren’t new at cold-blooded systematic murder of defenseless babies. We’ve also seen crackpot denial theories where Jew-haters already within days (!) defend and acquit Hamas even regarding atrocities that we know about from Hamas cameras, and of which they not only don’t deny but brag about! The double-standard of anti-Semites doesn’t accept testimony and proof that would clearly have convicted in every court of law.
I’m sarcastically waiting for some defense attorneys for the Thailand and Napal agricultural workers to defend them from their suffering afflicted upon them just because of Israel. I challenge the anti-Semitic crackpots to claim that the terror was true and barbaric against the foreign workers towards whom they can direct their classic progressive sympathy, while denying or rejoicing those bullets that missed the workers and hit Israelis!
Yes, the cruelty and crackpot reality-deniers and double-standard clowns are similar towards Hamas as some are towards Nazis, but we’ve come a long way since the Shoah.
Yes, Israeli intelligence and the IDF erred terribly before and on Simchat Torah, but let’s keep things in proportion! 80 years ago in Europe Jews had to hide like mice, but today, the Hamas and Hizballah are the ones hiding underground like rodents.
Yes, the 1,200 murdered was 10 times the casualties of the 1929/תרפ”ט riots, but it was less than one day in Auschwitz, and little compared to the pogroms in Europe (e.g. the documented 17,000 Jews killed by the Ukrainians in 6 weeks in 1918/תרע”ח, and altogether, at least 50,000).
Let’s not mix-up pain with confusion. We suffer the pain of the 1,200 holy martyrs of the Hamas Nazis, but have no doubt that bezH we will be victorious and Hamas will soon get walloped. This is far from being a Holocaust. We must thank G-d and appreciate His State of Israel and IDF. When anti-Semites attack and curse Jews on campuses in America, England and France, we again feel vulnerable like mice with no one to protect us, but here in Israel, the heads of Hamas and Hizballah are hiding for their lives- where they are the mice who will soon feel the well-deserved wrath of the G-d and army of Israel! Baruch Hashem, we’ve come a long way! Rav Ari Shvat
