New York, NY, January 5, 2009 … Of all of the recriminations aimed at Israel at scores of demonstrations held across the country in response to its military operation against Hamas, none has been more consistently or emphatically employed than comparisons of Israel to the Nazis, or the situation in Gaza to a "Holocaust."

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said that in-your-face comparisons of Israel's actions to those of Hitler, or signs altering the Jewish Star of David into a swastika, have been a recurring feature at many rallies across the country, including protests held over the past weekend in several major U.S. cities.

Some demonstrations have included expressions of support for Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, or for terrorism against Israel in general, according to ADL. And some protesters at rallies have spewed inflammatory anti-Israel and anti-Semitic rhetoric.

"Freedom of speech is not just a right, it is also a responsibility," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and a Holocaust survivor. "Comparisons of Israel to the Nazis are a deeply cynical perversion of history, an attempt to turn the tragedy that befell the Jewish people into a bludgeon against Israel.

"While we have come to expect to see such and hear this type of inflammatory rhetoric in Arab and Muslim capitals overseas, it is deeply disturbing that it is appearing in anti-Israel demonstrations at home," said Mr. Foxman. "Offensive Holocaust comparisons and the use of Nazi imagery are deeply offensive and have no place in a civil society such as ours."

ADL is monitoring anti-Israel rallies across the country and is posting updates and visuals to a dedicated Web page.

Examples from the more recent rallies include:

• In New York City's Times Square, six city blocks were filled with anti-Israel demonstrators holding signs that read "Israel: The Fourth Reich;" "Holocaust by Holocaust Survivors;" "Stop Israel's Holocaust;" "Holocaust in Gaza;" and "Stop the Zionist Genocide in Gaza." One sign juxtaposed gruesome images of Holocaust victims and Gazans and read, "Nazi Genocide, Israeli Genocide." The January 3 rally was endorsed by Al-Awda, the Muslim American Society, the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and several other organizations.

• More than 2,000 individuals demonstrated at Tribune Plaza in Chicago on January 2 before marching across the Michigan Avenue Bridge to the Israeli Consulate. Protesters held mock coffins draped with Palestinian flags and waved signs that included "Stop Israel's Genocide in Gaza" and "Palestinian Holocaust in Gaza Now."

• Demonstrators gathered at the Israeli Consulate in Los Angeles waving Palestinian flags and holding signs, including ones that read, "Every Israeli committing the genocide in Gaza is a 'Hitler'." One sign depicted an image of the Israeli flag with the Star of David replaced by a swastika and above the flag, the words, "Upgrade to Holocaust Version 2.0." The December 30 protest was sponsored by the ANSWER Coalition, Al-Awda and several local Muslim organizations.

• Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Tampa, FL, on December 30 carrying signs that compared Israel to Nazi Germany and calling for the dissolution of Israel. One sign declared, "Zionism is Cancer; Radiate it," and other signs featured the word "Nazi" written over an Israeli flag with a swastika.

• Approximately 200 demonstrators gathered at the federal building in San Diego, CA, with signs that read: "Stop the Israeli Third Reich;" "Israel is a Terrorist State;" "Israeli Zionism = Nazism;" "Stop the Israeli Holocaust on Gaza;" "Israel is the old South Africa" and "Stop the Massacre in Gaza." The rally was co-sponsored by Al-Awda, American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), the Muslim American Society, the ANSWER Coalition, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and others.

Poooooooooooooooooor Abe. He's pissing into the wind - again. The similes between the actions of the Israeli Zionists and the Turd Reich are on display for anyone with the wit and mind to look past the PR and confront, and actually see, what is being done by Israel.

Israel IS a Terrorist State.

There seems to be millions of survivors. Hence, there was no Holocaust. Damn they are dumb.

"Freedom of speech is not just a right, it is also a responsibility," said Abraham H. Foxman,...

"Offensive Holocaust comparisons and the use of Nazi imagery are deeply offensive and have no place in a civil society such as ours."

What's deeply offensive, Mr. Foxman, is to hear your ABUSE OF FREE SPEECH as you give excuses and cover for Israel's UNCIVIL, UNCIVILIZED BEHAVIOR as it engages in a brutal occupation and as it mounts continual military attacks on Palestinian CIVILIANS for the sole purpose of STEALING the Palestinians' LAND and the LAND's RESOURCES ( water, oil, and gas).

Fudge you, foxieloxie. How dare you talk about the RESPONSIBLE use of free speech. Your nose is longer than Pinocchio's today.

foxman needs a little history lesson on "jewish" support of hitler.

But I bet he knows more about it than I do.

And I'll further bet that wild horses couldn't drag the truth out of him in any public forum. He'd probably keel over if somebody asked him about Hitler's 1/4 jewish heritage via Baron Rothschild.

Foxman needs a bigger lesson on integrity and responsible leadership.

If Foxman possessed even a thimble full of integrity, instead of denouncing the protests of Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, he would be leading the protests against Israel today.

The ADL's raison d'etre is supposed to be to confront and denounce RACISM. If Israel's treatment of Palestinians now and over the years is not a poster for RACISM at its worst, I don't know what is.

The Israeli flag with a swastika isn't meant as a statement of approval for Nazi Germany. It's meant as a statement of disapproval for Zionists.

Abe Foxman knows this, but he still goes around shrieking "Nazi" at all of Israel's critics.

Pathetic.

That's how I saw it too.

Of course you're correct. They're comparing Israel's actions with those of the nazis. Approval for the nazis was obviously not the intent. I don't know how anyone could see it otherwise.

Every huckster needs a schtick to base their fund-raising upon, Honest Abe will whip the "Nazi-Holoco$t"TM to his dying breath. He's the jewish equivalent of Pat Robertson :-O
