With what Netanyahu says (attack Iran) and does, plus what appears on blogs (Jackazz etc) and “public comment” on editorial pages, hatred, and denial, are a poison far more prominent and flexible, at home and abroad. There IS a difference between legitimate complaint for egregious actions, and either defense of those actions, or hatred for an opposing view. While the holocaust did happen, it should also be remembered that more than 12 million died in the camps, and over 50 million died in WW II. Those who today stand behind the mental attitudes, and basic hatreds of the Nazis(on all sides) stopping just short of using gas chambers to attack their “enemies”; are no better.
