Are you a modern day Nazi?
It's time we got real.
It’s time we got real. History is repeating itself, and it’s time we started calling a spade a spade.
The end of World War 2 saw the defeat of the Nazis, and with that the true horror began to emerge of what the extermination of six million Jews looked like. The sheer scale of the Holocaust gave birth to the word ‘genocide,’ coined by Polish-Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin1 in 1944 to describe the intentional destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. If you think it’s a coincidence that the very same word is now being weaponised against the Jews, then you have failed to learn the lessons of the past.
Most people worldwide have an understanding of the mass murder of Jews that took place during the Holocaust. Yet it’s become increasingly clear that many social justice warriors, feminists, academics and even politicians are blind that the parallels we are witnessing today are eerily similar to the lead up to the death camps in Germany and Poland.
Most of us were taught as children that the Holocaust was bad. The Nazi’s were evil and we furrowed our brows, shaking our heads muttering “how was this allowed to happen”, and “never again”.
People comforted themselves by believing that there must have been something inherently wrong with the Germans of the day. Only a morally repugnant people would allow Jews to be sent to ghettos, branded with yellow stars, and turn away while Jews were beaten and slaughtered—right?
It is therefore staggering that we are witnessing the very same tactics used to dehumanise the Jews today, with remarkable success, and the very people that have been the loudest social justice warriors, have bought the lie—line, hook and sinker.
Propaganda was a powerful and central tool used by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime to turn the German population—and eventually much of Europe—against the Jews.
The spreading of lies, portraying the Jews as racial enemies, claiming that Jews secretly controlled world finance, media, and politics, claiming that the Jews were responsible for economic problems, and finally the dehumanising of Jews, comparing them to rats, parasites or just evil was the Nazi propaganda master plan—and it worked.
The Nazis used mass rallies, propaganda, and accessible slogans to connect emotionally with ordinary citizens. Sounding familiar? It should.
The greatest shock of my lifetime has been to witness the world come under the spell of the lies and propaganda targeting the Jews. So successful has the smear campaign been, that the same people that loudly and vehemently wear the anti-Zionist or anti-Israel badges, have convinced themselves they are social justice warriors.
The clear double standards used against the Jews, would under normal circumstances be enough to spotlight that something more sinister is going on.
Whether you believe that the nation of Israel has a right to defend itself or not—and personally I do—there is no justification for the skyrocketing worldwide of anti-semitic attacks since the October 7 brutal slaughter.
The mere fact that Jews worldwide and Israelis are being held personally responsible for the choices of the Israeli government, has never in my experience happened before. Russians aren’t being targeted in the streets of America and killed or blow torched in retaliation of the almost 50,000 Ukranian’s that have died during the Russia / Ukraine conflict. African restaurants aren’t being burned down and graffitied in Australia and throughout Europe as a response to the estimated 150,000 deaths from the Sudan civil war. Or how about the estimated 377,000 people that have either been killed or starved to death in Yemen, has there been any worldwide backlash there? I could go on, but you get the point.
Ironically it is the very same people screaming for a ceasefire that are now cheering on Iranian missiles hitting civilian buildings, killing innocent Israelis.
I listened to a Podcast the other day featuring Israeli Miri Bar-Halpern, a trauma psychologist, and a third generation Holocaust survivor, who asked “Where are the people standing up for us?”
The world claimed ‘never again,’ yet it only took the rape, murder and burning alive of 1500 Jews, and the brutal kidnapping of 250 more for the mob to change its mind.
I often ask myself, what kind of people invert words like Holocaust, genocide and Concentration Camps and weaponise those particular terms against Jews? Why not use other less loaded words? What kind of person posts ludicrous obviously fictional lies to millions of followers like “Israelis are training dogs to rape Palestinians?”2 And who is dumb enough to believe such rubbish?
Yet this is exactly what was happening in Germany and throughout Europe during Hitlers reign. Lies, propaganda and dehumanisation. I can guarantee you that if these people had been alive during World War 2, then would not have hidden their Jewish neighbours, they would have been calling the SS.
Yesterday’s swastika is todays keffiyeh. Jew hate dressed up as reform or social justice. Although they would vehemently reject the idea that they are following the Nazi playbook, history tells us the real story.
Nazism was deeply entrenched in German universities during Hitler's reign (1933–1945). After the Nazis came to power in 1933, they quickly moved to align all institutions, including universities, with their ideology through a process called Gleichschaltung3 (coordination or synchronization).
Jewish professors and students, as well as political opponents were targeted, ostracised and eventually expelled or dismissed from academic positions. Nazi student organisations, like the National Socialist German Students' League, played a dominant role in campus life.
We only have to look at the Pro Palestine university encampments, the targeting of Jewish students, the occupying by masked students of Jewish Professors faculty office4 to see the clear parallels.
What people forget is that the Nazi movement was very popular in Germany during much of the 1930s and early 1940s, shaped by crisis, coercion and propaganda. All the cool kids back in Germany were dobbing in their Jewish neighbours. Today the blue haired kids are screaming to ‘Globalise the Intifada’, and blaming the Jews for controlling the media.
So let’s get honest. If you are calling “From the river to the sea”, you are calling for at best, the displacement of just under 50 per cent of the world’s Jews, at worst the eradication of them.
If you are calling ‘Death to the IDF,’5 considering around 72 percent of Israeli’s do mandatory military service, you are calling for the death of 72 percent of citizens of a primarily Jewish Nation.
If you have posted or shared clearly bullshit, totally unverified lies about Jews or Israel, you are clearly an antisemite and a bit stupid.
Almost no one wants to be accused of antisemitism. But actions speak louder than words. You cannot claim to not be an antisemite while calling ‘Death to Israel’ or claiming that ‘All Zionists are Nazis’. or the now debunked claim by a United Nations official that 14,000 babies would die in the next 48 hours in Gaza.6
At least there was an honesty in Nazi Germany regarding the targeting of Jews. Today it’s all attempted sleight of hand. The old “I have a friend who is Jewish, how dare you call me an antisemite” is the catch cry of the progressive antisemite.
So if you have been riding your high-horse over the last 20 months, becoming increasingly brazen in your attack of the only Jewish State, claiming shooting Israelis in New York is acceptable, or raping party goers at a Music festival was resistance, or egging on Iran to finish the job with ballistic missiles aimed at innocent Israeli civilians, you may want to remember that it was only at the end of World War 2, after the dust settled, after the effects of the kool-aid wore off, did people start seeing their actions for what they were.
Only then did the tide turn, when truth started to rise above propaganda, and the shame descended like a dark cloud on those that became caught up in the hype of the day. Consider yourself warned.

Let us not forget the Nazi sympathizers in countries like Canada, Australia, Britain, and the U.S. who marched through the streets denouncing the Jews in the 1930's. There was no Israel then. Jewish refugees from Germany were turned away from those countries and many were forced to return to Germany and the concentration camps. It is ironic that today Israel is vilified for strongly defending itself, when the Jews of the 1930's were accused of going meekly to the gas chambers. Antisemitism has never been and never will be rational.
Yes. Only thing I would add is that the links between Nazism & the Palestinian-Arab cause - violently opposed to Palestinian-Jews - began well before Israel was even created.
The founder of the Palestinian-Arab movement against Palestinian-Jews, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, was paid by the Third Reich throughout WW2 to translate and spread anti-Jewish propaganda throughout the Middle East. He met with Hitler on 28 November 1941 to ask for help opposing the establishment of a Jewish national home at the height of the Holocaust.
Hitler told him that, after Germany had ‘solved its Jewish problem’ within Europe, ‘Germany’s objective would then be solely the destruction of the Jewish element residing in the Arab sphere under the protection of British power’. Browning, Christopher R. (2007). The Origins of the Final Solution: The Evolution of Nazi Jewish Policy, September 1939 – March 1942.
There are photos of Husseini meeting with Hitler & touring the Nazi death camps - again all BEFORE Israel was created. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2017-06-15/ty-article-magazine/revealed-photos-of-palestinian-mufti-visiting-nazi-germany/0000017f-ef6e-d0f7-a9ff-efefa25a0000
When Al-Husseini escaped to Egypt after the war, he was given a hero’s welcome. Al-Banna: ‘Hitler’s and Mussolini’s defeat did not frighten you. Your hair did not turn grey of fright, and you are still full of life and fight. What a hero, what a miracle of a man. We wish to know what the Arab youth, Cabinet Ministers, rich men, and princes of Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Tunis, Morocco, and Tripoli are going to do to be worthy of this hero. Yes, this hero who challenged an empire and fought Zionism, with the help of Hitler and Germany. Germany and Hitler are gone, but Amin Al-Husseini will continue the struggle.’

Yasser Arafat was the younger cousin of the Mufti. And the Mufti's comrade in arms and sometimes rival was Izz ad-Din al-Qassam whose name was given to the military wing of Hamas.
Anyone claiming this is about land or Israeli actions or anything other than a centuries-old religious-ideological hatred of Jews is either ignorant or deliberately deceiving you.
Oh and even the forced wearing of the yellow star wasn’t a German invention but an Islamic one. introduced in the Umayyad Caliphate by Caliph Umar II in the early 8th century
