Yours, in this instance, sounds like a man of the cloth’s patronizing use of the word “unwise”, Mr. Walker : it lacks argument…
So, rather than merely standing on the shoulders of the respectable women and men I have hereby summoned to give credence to my dissent, as if by argument from authority, which would, in turn, expose me to similar criticism, let me unfold my argumentative equation : while the label “crimes against Humanity” in the Nuremberg judgment was never meant to eclipse the “crimes against the Jewish people” the sentenced nazi (so-called) dignitaries had committed – How could it have ? –, it had a more universal reach.
The nazis had cast the Jewish people aside. The virtue of the former label is that it reintegrated them within Humanity, as an integral part of it, nonetheless fully acknowledging the specific persecution which had been inflicted upon them. Legitimately, the latter label focused on that specificity.
Through its lens, comparing the current Israeli regime with the nazi regime seems incongruous to those who disregard the policy the Israeli regime has been carrying out not only regarding the Israeli cannon fodder on October 7, 2023, but also towards the Israeli hostages.
Through the lens of Humanity, however, such comparison is not incongruous at all, considering the available evidence.
Nothing in this comparison should be construed as a minimization of the suffering endured by the victims of the Shoah. Said comparison only highlights the fact than any set or group of people, any ethnos, can, in particular circumstances, descend into decadence and commit their own crimes against Humanity, Israelis as any other one. Indeed, it is impossible to dispute most – if not all – of the quotes pertaining to “incitement to commit genocide” in South Africa’s application before the I.C.J., as well as countless monstrosities aired on Israeli television, are of the same ilk as the nazi rhetoric of yesteryear.
Denying Israelis that decadent faculty would not only mean overlooking the mechanisms of (in)human behavior; it would also be racist…
And, while, of course, “comparaison n’est pas [toujours] raison”, and every fascist regime has its own specificities, a descent into decadence, propelled by their own crimes against Humanity and the fiery pride surrounding them, is exactly what the “Judeo-nazis” still desperately clinging to government in the land of the broken promise have been presiding over… Is it not, Mr. Walker ?!
May the holy Politburo grant me clemency for my reasoning…
