Jewish British lawmaker likens Israel to Nazis

LONDON - A veteran British Jewish lawmaker compared the Israeli offensive in Gaza Thursday to the Nazis who forced his family to flee from Poland.
Gerald Kaufman, a member of the Jewish Labour movement linked to Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s ruling party, also called for an arms embargo against Israel.
"My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town . . . a German soldier shot her dead in her bed," Kaufman said during a parliamentary debate on the 20-day-old war which has left over 1,000 dead.
"My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza.
"The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploit the continuing guilt from gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians."
Israel’s claim that many of the Palestinian victims were militants "was the reply of the Nazi," he said, adding: "I suppose the Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been dismissed as militants."
Kaufman, a well-known critic of Israel, said Hamas was a "deeply nasty" organization, but said it was democratically elected.
He urged Britain to impose an arms embargo on the Jewish state.
"It is time for our government to make clear to the Israeli government that its conduct and policies are unacceptable and to impose a total arms ban on Israel," he said.
"It is time for peace - but real peace, not the solution by conquest which is Israel’s real goal but which is impossible for them to achieve. They are not simply war criminals, they are fools," he added.
Gerald “Rosie” Kaufman
I'll bet no Israeli soldier shot an old woman in her bed in Gaza. He should remember that one sixth of the world's population thinks he should be exterminated just for being Jewish. But instead, he'll continue being a self-hating Jew who let the muslims take over his country. One day, when they have seized power, history will repeat itself and he or a descendant will be shot in their bed by the muslim hoards.
Why are they self hating?
Mental issue?
It boggles my mind.
Gerald Kaufman will get excellent treatment in the camps.

Every groups has nuts and also those willing to sell out the group. Heck there are even a few Jewish Nazi skinheads.
He should go to Gaza.
He will see:
A. Hamas using hospitals and schools to launch attacks.
B. Israeli soldiers using a civilized set of Rulse of engagement.
Then decide who his grandmother died for.
Self loathing Jews are a curious lot indeed.
How could any person be this stupid, let alone a Jew?
“The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploit the continuing guilt from gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians.”
Well, they’ve been doing an awfully poor job of it, since the people who usually feel bad for victims, i.e. liberals around the globe, hate Israel.
You know what? The Jews don’t need sympathy. All they need is weapons.
