You remember when the inmates of Auschwitz would rain rockets down into the neighboring communities, right? And when they feasted on the billions of dollars’ worth of “humanitarian aid” that came to them from every quarter? And when they vowed repeatedly to destroy Germany utterly and murder its inhabitants?
“French TV producer slammed for saying ‘Gaza is Auschwitz,’” by Yossi Lempkowicz, European Jewish Press, May 16, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
French television producer and host Thierry Ardisson has apologized for his comments on the situation in the Gaza Strip. On France 2 public television last Saturday evening, during the weekly “Quelle époque!” talk show, he declared that the Gaza Strip “is Auschwitz, that’s it, that’s all there is to it.”
His statement drew angry reactions within the Jewish community.
Yonathan Arfi, president of CRIF, the umbrella organization of Jewish institutions of France, declared: “No, Thierry Ardisson, Gaza is not Auschwitz. The memory of the Shoah is never so much called into public debate as by those who want to turn it against the Jews.
“Since October 7 2023, I have deplored the distress of all civilian populations, Israeli and Palestinian. But for what other conflict do we use these comparisons with the Shoah? No criticism of Israel justifies Nazifying it,” Arfi said.
The International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism (LICRA) said it “condemns once again the trivialization of outrageous comparisons and the prevailing confusion.”…

Let me add my reaction as well.. NO GAZA IS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR AUSCHWITZ. THERE IS BIG BLOODY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROUNDING UP GERMAN-JEWS (yes) and gassing them versus… ISRAEL DEFENDING ITSELF AGAINST MONSTROUS KILLERS LIKE HAMAS.

This from a country that used to persecute Hugenots for not being Catholic: they’re one to speak

‘Some fools never learn.”
Others have claimed it and had to backtrack, apologize, face harsh criticism. And yet, “some fools never learn.”

Yes–this is just grotsque.

When was the accompanying picture taken? It would be very interesting if that was, let’s say, yesterday, wouldn’t it? And, eh, how about all the rallies against Hamas INSIDE Gaza? I’m told there are tens of thousands Gazans openly standing up against this scum. There is actual footage showing this. That’s what happens, by the way, when your power base is eroded badly enough for your opponents to rise up against you. What fools! And that includes their Western followers.

As I have said many times. Those who accuse Israel of Nazism are abysmally ignorant of Nazi Germany. The Nazis eliminated everybody who opposed them. It is usually forgotten that the concentration camps’ first occupants were Germans who opposed the regime. The so called palestinians would not even exist if the Israelis were like Nazis as they would have been eliminated long, long ago

Apart from the Jews, homosexuals, the Roma (gypsies), communists, the whole bunch: bill is completely right. As a matter of fact, if you look closely, it pretty much reads like a list of the enemies of the mohamedans. What was it that they were telling about the great mufti of Jerusalem again, Mr. Al-Husseini? Wasn’t he the guy that suggested to Hitler and his filthy ilk to kill the Jews, because he was afraid that if they got kicked out of Germany/Europe (which apparently was the original plan) they would go to Israel, where they would be bothering the mohamedan barbarians? So who are the fascists here?

And then, of course, we have ‘J’accuse!’, the Dreyfus affair.
