This was a good piece but it doesn’t explain why some liberal American Jews equate conservatism with Nazism. I have first-hand experience with this. My theory is that they place both Nazis and conservatives on the right because, although the Nazis were socialists, both were/are implacable foes of the Communists. And as the article pointed out, the leaders of the Communist revolution were Jewish.

By the standards of the 1930s, the Nazis were indeed regarded as a right-wing party. In Europe of the 1930s, the leftists favored pacifism, internationalism (the League of Nations), socialism and religious toleration, while the right wing parties favored militarism, nationalism, anti-communism and anti-semitism. This was true not just in Germany, but throughout Europe. Europeans at the time clearly saw the Nazis as a far-right party.

You are correct in your post #12 but the fallacy that some American Jews accept is that because the Nazis were anti-semetic it follows that American conservatives are also anti-semetic. Of course most are not.

And, addressing Freepers in general, yes, I know A-rabs are also semites. But in common usage we know to whom the term ant-semitic applies.
