@always_philistinie: The world's leading expert on Nazi indoctrination is an Israeli. In 1987 he warned Israel's army it was on the Nazi army's road. The defense minister wrote back one line: "How dare you." Twice. Omer Bartov commanded an Israeli infantry company, then wrote the book on Hitler's army at Oxford. In the 1930s, before they were ever drafted, young Germans were taught that the peoples to the east were subhuman, led by Jews, and out to destroy Germany. Up to 27 million Soviet soldiers and civilians were killed. Not monsters. Ordinary young men, taught who to hate. 1987. The first intifada. Palestinian boys threw stones at armed soldiers. Defense minister Yitzhak Rabin ordered the army to break their arms and legs. Bartov wrote to him that the order put Israel's army on the same slippery slope as the Nazi army. Rabin's reply, twice: "How dare you compare the IDF to the Wehrmacht." June 2024. Ben-Gurion University. Students just home from fighting in Gaza told Bartov that Israel's army is the most moral in the world, that there was no hunger in Gaza, that all of it was Hamas's fault. He had read this before, in the letters of German soldiers in 1941. A German army leaflet, June 1941: "We would insult the animals if we described these mostly Jewish men as beasts." Israel's defense minister, October 2023, called Palestinians human animals. The prime minister's wife, the next day: "I don't call them human animals because that would be insulting to animals." German soldiers in 1942: look at what happened to us in 1918. Israeli soldiers in 2024: look at what happened to us in the Holocaust. Bartov's verdict: "Nothing empowers violence more than a righteous sense of victimhood." In 1987 the answer was one line. In 2026 the comparison is a book: Israel: What Went Wrong?
