That has been the biggest change on FR since 9/11. For years we've been working for smaller government, more liberty and all of a sudden freepers are being called Nazis by other, usually new, freepers.
Don't know. I have a few theories; my favorite one this week is that there is a desire among some to minimize what the Nazis did by using the comparison inappropriately.
In other words, by saying "the IDF in Jenin were no better than the Nazis in the Warsaw ghetto", they are also saying by contrast "What the Nazis did in the Warsaw ghetto was no worse than what the IDF did in Jenin"--you know, knock down a few hundred yards' worth of buildings and kill 56 people, losing 26 of their own in the process. Yeah, that's all the Nazis did in the Warsaw ghetto, just some IDF stuff.
Why they would wish to minimize it is another question entirely, but the possible answers all creep me out.
