The Guardian's latest wheeze
» Posted on March 15, 2006 11:02 PM » Category: Anti-semitism

Not content with using its comment pages to push the views of terrorists, advocates of a European Caliphate and those who glorify terrorism, the Guardian has now come up with a new means of giving space to the truly sick.

The comments on its 'Comment is Free' blog are, apparently, moderated - which makes all the more shocking the views which it allows to be published. Take this from - appropriately enough, perhaps - the comments on a posting by George Galloway:

Comparing Zionism and Nazism is not anti-Semitic, it is accurate. The founding principle of Zionism is the same as the founding principle of Nazism - that the Jews and the Gentiles should not, can not, live in the same country. One cannot reject that statement without rejecting both Nazism and Zionism. There are other valid comparisons too. One of the (very many) proofs that Nazi Germany was anti-Semitic was the 1935 Nuremberg Race Laws that prevented Jews and Gentiles to marry. It didn't matter if you loved a person, the state FORBADE you to marry. Guess which country has that exact same law TODAY? Germany? No. Britain? No. Israel? You betcha. But perhaps you want even more valid comparisons, well, the Nazis invaded Poland. Zionists invaded Lebanon. Nazis exterminated refugees, including women and children, in systematic death-camps. Zionists also exterminated refugees, including women and children, in systematic death-camps, at Sabra and Shatila.

In fact the question shouldn't be "how are Zionism and Nazism similar" but "how are they different", and aside from there belligerents there is no measurable difference, from any reasonable moral perspective you can't fart a tissue between the two.

The Guardian, it seems, is happy to allow its new site to be used as a free for all by the world's racists, bigots and aasorted Jew-haters - who happen, surprisingly enough, to be Guardian readers. Can it sink any lower?
