It always makes me sad to see Arab writers likening the Zionist treatment of Palestinians to what Jews had to endure in the Third Reich, especially if the writers are Palestinians. It’s not that I have any sentimental feelings for Hitler and his particular style of government, nor that I am worried about the sensitivities of people who have. I’m not even sure whether those professed Hitler aficionados aren’t in fact Zionist shills, trying to give Holocaust revisionism a bad name. It’s easy enough to get paranoid in this dissident world of gatekeepers, agents provocateurs and moles.

But back to my Palestinian friends who so easily get caught up in the Jewish narrative of WWII. By comparing the Zionists' treatment of the Palestinians with what Nazi Germany did to European Jews, they acknowledge the Jewish stories, many of which have turned out to be blatant lies. Why strengthen your enemy by supporting his propaganda? After all, the alleged Nazi attempts to exterminate Europe's Jews is the raison d’être and the most powerful weapon of the Zionists.

So why are they doing it? Are they just brainwashed like everybody else? I don’t think so. Holocaust revisionism is very common amongst educated Muslims all around the world, in fact their lack of belief in the “self-evident truth” of the Holocaust narrative is a growing concern in the industry. I suspect that Arab writers are merely trying to communicate more effectively to the Holocaust believers by pointing out the similarities between the Israeli treatment of the Palestinians and the alleged Jewish suffering.

The problem with this approach is that most Jews believe that the life of a Jew is far more valuable than that of a non-Jew, hence the claimed “uniqueness” of the Jewish Holocaust™. Orthodox Jews are even told by their revered rabbis that Arabs are today’s ‘Amalek’, a race whose “seeds” God has ordered to destroy. If what those supremacists are doing to the Palestinians feels like genocide that’s exactly what it’s intended to be. The only reason why the Talmudists are taking their time is that they are very conscious of world opinion. Until they are convinced that they can get away with it, they are holding back. You can forget trying to convince Jews that what they are doing is no better than what the Nazis did to them. It won’t work.

I even have my doubts whether this approach will work with Gentiles. Most people are so afraid of the power of the Jews that they will shut you out as soon as you express any opinion that could be interpreted as anti-Semitism. They might still talk to you, when nobody is watching, but if other people are around they will pretend you don’t exist. I don’t blame them. Not many people can afford to kiss their career and social network good-bye.

For the average writer and activist, my recommendation is to simply describe what the Zionists are doing, without judging and comparing, and leave it to the reader to draw his conclusions. Think twice, before you burn your bridges by joining the ranks of heretics like myself. And please don’t make the Zionists stronger by founding your arguments on their lies.
