A nasty staff-ed in the South African Mail & Guardian directly compares IDF to the Nazis:
In May 1942, one of the Nazi regime’s most notorious mass murderers, Deputy Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich, was assassinated by Czech partisans. The Nazi response was to demolish the nearby village of Lidice house by house and either shoot its inhabitants or send them to death camps.
What, in principle, is the difference between the collective punishment visited on Lidice and the indiscriminate bombing of Lebanese roads, bridges, homes and apartment blocks, telecommunications and power infrastructure, airports, factories, food warehouses and medical facilities by Israeli armed forces? The same applies to the Gaza Strip, where 750,000 Palestinian civilians were forced to go without electricity after the kidnapping of a single Israeli soldier.
If only Nazi Germany in 1942 had been hit by the hundreds of Qassams Israel has absorbed….
