Joshua Holland writes an excellent post - "Dear Israel Lobby, We Give Up. Please Give Us an Acceptable Way of Insulting You"
Here is my take on the hypocrisy of Zionists in a comment on his posting
You’ve said it perfectly and I call it Holocaust leverage. Because we
all feel at the least ashamed of that terrible historical event,
Zionists have run with it by taking full advantage of the fact that any
comment regarding Jews in a negative way is uncomfortable. Take any
statement about people as a group – Irish, Vietnamese or what have you
and people make comments all the time that don’t give pause in the way
that the same statement would if “Jews” were substituted while in the
US, the Arabs are subject to all manner of outrageous statements without
a second thought.
Norman Finkelstein got it right when he said that Zionists use the
Holocaust as a club with which to beat the Palestinians. The height of
irony – the suffering of innocents in history is fashioned into a shield
to protect those who cause the suffering of innocents.
Israel is unique in history for this factor and it explains in large part
the fact that it has pulled off overt racism in direct contradiction to
the trend of modern times.
It’s only now that this invisible shield is crumbling. It’s crumbling
because those who use it are becoming so strident and the factual
evidence of what they are doing so obviously hypocritical that only
money and other-worldly Christians keeps the project going. The exemplar
of the whole phenomenon is Abe Foxman, a terribly overweight guy who
sees himself as the voice of the skin-and-bones Holocaust victims as he
tours the world dining in the finest restaurants, lecturing those in
power on how they can be more righteous in the eyes of the ADL. The
self-righteousness is staggering. Hypocrisy, thy name is Israel.
