Why Hamas Can Rightly Compared to Nazis: The Similarities Are Undeniable
New York Post ^ | Nov. 18, 2023 | Rafael Medoff

For years, I’ve denounced the proliferation of Nazi analogies in our public discourse.

From right to left, reckless politicians and overheated pundits have invoked Hitler, the Nazis or the Holocaust in order to score rhetorical points — and historians like me have condemned them for doing so. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was wrong to call US border facilities “concentration camps,” and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was equally off base when she labeled advocates of Covid vaccines “medical brown shirts,” which references Nazi storm-trooper uniforms. Abortion is not another Holocaust.

The reason such comparisons are wrong is that they severely distort the facts, both by implicitly minimizing Nazi atrocities and wildly exaggerating the actions of whomever the current name-callers happen to be targeting. But when a comparison is valid — when a contemporary villain does something which indeed reaches the levels of Nazi barbarism — then it needs to be acknowledged.

More logically compared to Genghis Khan or Attila the Hun.

Timur was reported to have killed an estimated 17 million people in his time also known as Tamerlane (April 8, 1336–February 18, 1405) was the ferocious and terrifying founder of the Timurid empire of Central Asia, eventually ruling much of Europe and Asia. Throughout history, few names have inspired such terror as his. Tamerlane was not the conqueror’s actual name, though. More properly, he is known as Timur, from the Turkic word for “iron.”

The Nazis were much more hygienic, had much better uniforms, and were pioneers in the sciences and medicine.

The Islamists, and least of all those dwelling in lands belonging to ancient Israel, have seldom, if ever, contributed to genuine scientific knowledge.

Meanwhile, Jews comprising less than 5% of the world’s population have won more than 30% of Nobel Prizes for medicine, the sciences, and the arts.
