The Mustache is the Only Difference!
The Independent does its Auschwitz quote round-up and typically steers it toward an America-bash-fest.
Israeli writer Amos Oz says, "A language of hatred is a danger, not necessarily for Jews, but for whoever is targeted. Each time language is used like an axe we should act because soon killing will follow. There is a rise of fanaticism: Islamic, Jewish, European. It's American fundamentalism."
[emphasis added]
Iraqi author Fuad al-Takarli, clearly desperate to talk about anything else, checks in with an incomprehensible quote:
Huh?
But some sort of prize has to go to former British Labour Party cabinet mnisiter Tony Benn, who draws a direct line between Auschwitz and ... you'll never guess ... George W. Bush!
So ... let's see: Hitler fires up Germany with fear of the Jews, and he tries to destroy the Jews. And Bush fires up Americans with fear of terrorism, and he tries to destroy terrorism. I'm waiting for the bad part of that second element to sink in. Or is he trying to say that terrorism is no more a threat to the U.S. than the Jews were to Germany? 9/11=Reichstag fire?
Anyone who cares is free to ring him up and ask him. I don't. He's gone into the "idiot" bin.
Meanwhile, let's compare Bush on Muslims and Islam to Hitler on Jews/Judaism:
Wow! See how much alike they are?

"The first thing is I think we should be talking about events in Iraq, the killing that is going on at the moment. For us as Arabs, the question is not about the legacy of the Holocaust. The UN divided Palestine in two, so now our primary care is that Palestinians should have their own state. Arab writers usually avoid the Holocaust because we feel we will be resented in the West. This is a very sensitive issue for us to talk about."

"The most important lesson of the Holocaust is that fear provides a power structure for political leaders. Hitler portrayed the Jews as the enemy and used it to instil fear and gain power. George Bush evokes the fear of terrorism and becomes a more powerful leader. The important thing moving forward is to look at history and understand. Only by seeing how such things develop can we be sure such atrocities will not happen again."

Meanwhile, let's compare Bush on Muslims and Islam to Hitler on Jews/Judaism:
“There are thousands of Muslims who proudly call themselves Americans, and they know what I know -- that the Muslim faith is based upon peace and love and compassion.” [Bush, Sept. 27, 2001]
"Once I really am in power, my first and foremost task will be the annihilation of the Jews. As soon as I have the power to do so, I will have gallows built in rows -- at the Marienplatz in Munich, for example -- as many as traffic allows." [Hitler, 1922]
“Because this great nation of many religions understands, our war is not against Islam, or against faith practiced by the Muslim people.” [Bush, Jan. 5, 2002]
"Once the hatred and the battle against the Jews have been really stirred up, their resistance will necessarily crumble in the shortest possible time. They are totally defenseless, and no one will stand up to protect them." [Hitler, "Mein Kampf"]
“The charity, discipline and sacrifice practiced during Ramadan in America makes America a better, more compassionate country .... And the heartfelt prayers offered at this time of year are a blessing in many lives and they're a blessing to our nation.” [Bush, Oct. 28, 2003]
"Nature is cruel; therefore we are also entitled to be cruel. When I send the flower of German youth into the steel hail of the next war without feeling the slightest regret over the precious German blood that is being spilled, should I not also have the right to eliminate millions of an inferior race that multiplies like vermin?" [Hitler, "Mein Kampf"]
"All Americans must recognize that the face of terror is not the true faith -- face of Islam. Islam is a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. It's a faith that has made brothers and sisters of every race. It's a faith based upon love, not hate." [Bush, Sept. 10, 2002]
With satanic joy in his face, the black-haired Jewish youth lurks in wait for the unsuspecting girl whom he defiles with his blood, thus stealing her from her people. With every means he tries to destroy the racial foundations of the people he has set out to subjugate. Just as he himself systematically ruins women and girls, he does not shrink back from pulling down the blood barriers for others, even on a large scale. It was and it is Jews who bring the Negroes into the Rhineland, always with the same secret thought and clear aim of ruining the hated white race by the necessarily resulting bastardization, throwing it down from its cultural and political height, and himself rising to be its master. [Hitler, "Mein Kampf"]
Wow! See how much alike they are?
