The difference between Nazis and Jews

Every so often, I publish a comment that violates my No Israel-bashing rule, just to show my readers exactly the kind of comment that doesn’t make it through moderation.

Here’s the latest, on the post about one of the Carter Center’s main men quitting in protest over the attack-Israel book that Jimmy’s doing the talk show rounds over:

You can’t imagine how much these abusive comments aimed at President Carter are exactly what can be expected from people who blindly support Israel. How is what Israel is doing and has done to Palestine for decades different than what Germany did to the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto for a matter of a few years?

You abuse one of the few people who could help Israel out of the corner it’s painted itself into. I leave off my full name because I also have been the target of blind Jewish wrath, from earest people who are unconcerned with truth and fixated on manipulating America as Israel’s puppet. The warning of a whirlwind comes to mind.

Hm. Differences between the disputed terrortories[sic] and the Warsaw Ghetto. Hm. Double hm. Triple hm. Can I think of anything that might be different?

Wait, I’ve got it!

EVERYTHING.

The Jewish quarter extends over about 1,016 acres. According to the figures supplied by the Judenrat, which claims to have carried out a census, about 410,000 Jews live in this area; according to our own observations and various estimates, carried out by other bodies, they number between 470,000 and 590,000.5*

Based on the statistics supplied by the Judenrat, and subtracting empty spaces and cemeteries, there are [in the Jewish quarter] 1,108 persons living on a built-up area of one hectare (2.5 acres), i.e., 110,800 persons per sq. km. [approx. 277,000 per sq. mile]. The population density of the city of Warsaw is 14,400 persons per sq. km. of the total area and 38,000 per sq. km. of built-up and inhabited area.

It should be noted that the number will be increased by the new resettlement of 72,000 Jews from the western section of the District. This is needed in order to make room for 62,000 evacuated Poles.

In the Jewish area of residence there are about 27,000 apartments with an average number of 2½ rooms. Occupancy therefore works out at 15.1 persons per apartment and 6 to 7 persons per room. The Jewish area of residence is separated from the rest of the city by the use of partition walls and fireproof walls and by walls sealing off streets, windows, entrances and spaces between houses. The walls are three meters high and are raised another meter by means of a barbed-wire extension. Additional control is assured by motorized and mounted police patrols.

At first 22 gates in the surrounding wall were retained for the maintenance of necessary traffic, but these have since been reduced to 15. Reinforced German police guards were at first posted at these openings; these were later replaced by Polish police, with German police taking over mainly the supervision.

The units of the German police for the Jewish quarter – consisting of 87 men under the command of an Oberleutnant – are accommodated in three posts outside the wall….

Permits to pass these gates are issued for absolutely essential passenger traffic: the permit cards are yellow for German citizens, ethnic Germans and Poles; for Jews there are yellow cards with an oblique blue bar. The permits are valid only together with an identity card with a photograph….

And, of course, there was the revolt.

After the January battle, the Jews spent the following weeks training, acquiring weapons, and making plans to defend of the ghetto. The Germans also prepared for the possibility of a fight. On the eve of the final deportation, Heinrich Himmler replaced the chief of the SS and police in the Warsaw district, Obergruppenfuhrer Ferdinand von Sammern-Frankenegg, with SS und Polizeifuhrer (SS and Police Leader) Jurgen Stroop, an officer who had experience fighting partisans.

The ghetto fighters were warned of the timing of the final deportation and the entire Jewish population went into hiding. On the morning of April 19, 1943, the Warsaw ghetto uprising began after German troops and police entered the ghetto to deport its surviving inhabitants. Seven hundred and fifty fighters armed with a handful of pistols, 17 rifles, and Molotov cocktails faced more than 2,000 heavily armed and well-trained German troops supported by tanks and flamethrowers.

After the Germans were forced to withdraw from the ghetto, they returned with more and more firepower. After several days without quelling the uprising, the German commander, General Jürgen Stroop, ordered the ghetto burned to the ground building by building. Still, the Jews held out against the overwhelming force for 27 days. On May 8, the headquarters bunker of the ZOB at 18 Mila Street was captured. Mordecai Anielewicz and a large number of his colleagues were killed in the fighting, but several dozen fighters escaped through the sewers.

On May 16, Stroop announced the fighting was over. He said his forces had captured 56,065 Jews and announced that he was going to blow up the Great Synagogue on Tlomack Street (which was outside the ghetto) as a symbol of victory and of the fact that “the Jewish quarter of Warsaw no longer exists.”

But don’t let the facts get in the way of your ignorance, “refuge.” The fact of the matter is that the palestinian population in the terrotories has increased since 1967. Where did all those Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto go?

Oh. Right. The camps.

Refuge, your comparison is reprehensible, ignorant, puerile, and shows that you’ve got the loony-left talking points down, and zero knowledge of what the Nazis were actually like. Your comment shows that you have ingested the concept that Nazi=Bad, but you have never bothered to understand exactly what the Nazis did, or why they did it, before throwing around the label today. Your comment, in short, is representative of most of the Israel-haters that try to get comments posted here: Ignorant, vapid, ahistoric, and anti-Semitic.

Your comment was not approved. This is why.
