Adolf Hitler had as a primary war aim the goal of Lebensraum – expanding the boundaries of Germany to give ethnic Germans more land. This goal included, of course, the ethnic cleansing of those he did not regard as legitimate Germans at all – hence The Holocaust.
Israel’s ongoing expansion imperative is, irony of ironies, analogous with that of the Third Reich. The Arab/Israeli wars each led to the acquisition of more land. Only Sinai, a desert they didn’t want, was handed back. The present day incursions into Gaza and the West Bank unquestionably have the goal of building Greater Israel as a driver.
Zionists initially established the settlement of (mainly) displaced European Jews in a small part of the Holy Land. The creation of an Israeli state in 1948 took this further to nationhood. Israel was no longer about sanctuary but about sovereignty. And that sovereignty has been expansionist protected by military might and, above all, by massive military and material support from the United States.
Jewish peoples know all about pogroms having suffered them for centuries. They know how they are done. And how to do them.
Paddy’s Blogs in a crazy world 
Whenever I read your blogs Paddy, which I always enjoy I have this odd feeling of needing more. It’s as if you run dry which I’m sure is not the case.
This is a massive subject. Oddly enough usually ignored by Jewish writers such as Simon Sharma. It is indeed chilling to witness Nazi tyranny in Palestine happening in our own time and partnered by the United States.
The parallels are there to see, if you don’t as the German people once did, turn away. Israelis who support a new generation of tyrants currently in power absolutely do. Along with the rest of the world that has successfully abandoned Palestine and Lebanon.
