I'm in sympathy with people who want to end the lock downs. But constant references to lock downs and ‘’vaccine passports’’ as being akin to The Holocaust is too much.

It demeans the millions of innocents who lost their lives in that horror and cheapens the sacrifices of those who fought to end it.

Find some other imagery if you must but stop the Holocaust references.

The parallels are eerie though. Long before they were imprisoned and killed Jews were mocked and derided by their government and popular culture. Those who simply won't get vaccinated for whatever reason are being given the same treatment. It's not too weird to think they could both go the same way.

Absolutely not. And should you be Jewish doesn’t mean you, as a Jew, can dictate which analogies and parallels are acceptable.

OK, I will do Rwanda instead. That involved years of demonizing and disparaging a group of people (the Tutsis) until the hatred boiled over after a Hutu official was killed in a plane crash.

The Holocaust didn’t start out as a Holocaust, either.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Bothers me every time I hear it or read it.
