Israel are not and have never been Nazis. If you are refering to the
treatment of the Palestinians, Israel has never treated them like
the Nazis. It's just propaganda created by the news organizations
to sell newspapers/tv time.

Israel has certainly been far kinder and gentler to the "Palestinians"
than any of their leaders or neighboring countries have been. It
also has been kinder and gentler than England ever was in Ireland.

The Palestinians have never been above sacrificing their own children
for "the cause". The famous shooting of a 12 year old boy filmed by
a French TV crew, was investigated by a German TV network and their
conclusion is that he was shot by a Palestinain because he was on camera.

To keep it the least bit on the topic of shortwave radio, Israel continues
its English broadcasts, but since the first "gulf war", they are nothing
like they were, and the IBA never bothers to refute the claims of the
Palestian propagand machine. If anyone acts like Nazis, it's the Palestinains
complete with their "ethnic cleansing" of Christians.
