In the Bangkok Post, Imtiaz Muqbil uses the Holocaust for his own anti-Israel and anti-Western agenda. In a nutshell, he compares Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians (as well as the West’s war on terror) with Nazi Germany:
Commemorations of the Holocaust would have more credibility if the Americans, Europeans and Israelis began learning from it first rather than lecturing to “the world” about the need to learn from it.
A good way to start would be to encourage those who want the West’s, and Israel’s, own wrongdoings, double-standards, lies and hypocrisy brought into the open, in line with the principles of “freedom and democracy” they are now trying to “export” to the Muslim world.
Hitler, too, believed his actions were for the good of the Reich, and cunningly and convincingly manipulated millions into believing him. A deeper look at the way the world is today will indicate that nothing has changed, and no lessons have been learnt.
