The Jewish Holocaust and the Palestinian Holocaust

The Israeli government repeatedly denies that its treatment of the Palestinians is anything like the treatment suffered by Jews under the Nazi regime. But the Nazis too denied that they were engaging in genocide and war crimes.

Rather than attempting to argue in writing the point that the stewards of the state of Israel appear to be the ideological descendants of the Nazis, the following photo essay of juxtaposed images of Palestinian life today in the occupied territories and Jewish life 68 years ago in Germany and Poland say much more than words ever could:

Building walls and fences to imprison people

Military checkpoints to prevent freedom of movement to civilians

Arrests and Harassments

Destroying Homes and Livelihoods

The Murder of the Young and the Innocent

wholeheartedly agreed

By: Saman

For what it's worth, I think this is a very powerful article to share with others. Especially when no comments are really needed expect perhaps a brief description of the article's title, or simply just the title itself, and then just the URL.

Exodus

By: Amsu

Seems as if the Israelis have softened up and become a bit more compassionate. Remember, way back when, as recorded in the OT in Exodus... the Jews were required to kill every man, woman, child, donkey, goat, and sheep. That was 3000 or so years before the Nazi Holocaust. Wonder where Hitler got the idea? Someone shoots rockets at me, an I'm going to kill anything and everything in my way as well, so get out of the way. The issue is much more complex than the mainstream media lets on. Personally, I hate the fundamentalists no matter the sect... an I'm not fully satisfied with either side... way I see it, I'm satisfied pitting brother against brother for now. Death to all those who do not represent the ecclesiastical perspective!

Right to the point...

By: Spyraal

I it wasn't for color in the pictures of Palestine, one would have a hard time to tell which event is which, what is now and what is then. The point of this photo comparison is hard to miss...

Great work SOTT team.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"The free press is the mother of all our liberties and of our progress under liberty" Adlai E. Stevenson

"There is no more important struggle for American democracy than ensuring a diverse, independent and free media. Free Press is at the heart of that struggle." Bill Moyers

"This is, in theory, still a free country, but our politically correct, censorious times are such that many of us tremble to give vent to perfectly acceptable views for fear of condemnation. Freedom of speech is thereby imperiled, big questions go undebated, and great lies become accepted, unequivocally as great truths." Simon Heffer in The Daily Mail, 7 June 2000

"The only security of all is in a free press. The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep the waters pure." Thomas Jefferson to Lafayette, 1823

"A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, a ubiquitous press, must be suffered by those in authority in order to preserve the right of the people to know.": Murray I. Gurfein

One of the shrewdest ways for human predators to conquer their stronger victims is to steadily convince them with propaganda that they're still free. N.A. Scott
