The boy who cried Holocaust: Zionism’s transference of trauma

Is it OK to use the Holocaust and its perpetrators as an analogy for recent potential threats? Is it OK for Israel to label whoever her enemies are as Nazis or identify them as monsters about to commit another genocide of the Jews?

This is the approach by the leadership of Israel over the last 50 years. To inject fear into their own people. To remind those international nations who looked away when the events of the Holocaust took place. To remind them of their guilt so they may accept all the hostility and inhumanity that Israel will rain down on its enemies.

It is a touchy subject, but analogies can be misleading and can misrepresent both the reality of any threat as well as diminish the real significance and uniqueness of the Holocaust tragedy. This video addresses the methodology of how the Holocaust was transitioned from an event Jews wanted to forget to a weapon used on a daily basis.
