In a Wednesday op-ed, amid the continuing conflict between Israel and Palestine, University of Cincinnati professor emeritus Abraham Miller called on Israel "to ignore the international community" and "give war a chance."
After complaining about "Arabs" who "refuse to recognize the legitimate Jewish claim to the property" they call home in the Sheik Jarrah neighborhood, Miller likened Hamas to fleas and Israel to an infested dog.
"An intractable enemy must be destroyed. The cost of the war must be so great that Hamas will not be able to repeat its periodic foray of violence, its continual mobilization of wars of attrition," Miller declared, concluding, "If the dog is to survive, then the fleas must be destroyed in their earliest stages."
It's unclear if Miller was referring to Palestinian children or simply the early stages of a military operation when he wrote about destroying fleas in their "earliest" stage, but whatever his intention, his article sparked massive backlash on social media. Critics called it "insane," "genocidal," and "Nazi-esque."
