https://twitter.com/michaelshermer/status/1711931207964058019 People compare Hamas to Nazis. That's not fair. Nazis knew killing Jews was wrong. That's why they did it in secret, mostly in Poland at isolated death camps (Auschwitz, Majdanek, Treblinka, Sobibor, Chelmno, Belzec). At war's end covered over their crimes, burned documents, destroyed gas chambers & denied it after. Hamas is bragging about murdering Jews, posting videos on social media & declaring "Allahu Akbar" If you do not support Israel & the Jews, you are literally worse than the Nazis. Congratulations. After studying the Holocaust & its deniers for 30 years I didn't think it possible anyone could top that. I was wrong.

These leftist professors object to analogizing Hamas to the Nazis. Compare the Nazi platform of 1920, which remained its official statement of principles, to the Hamas covenent of 1988. The Hamas charter is much more vociferously antisemitic and, unlike the Nazi platform, overtly genocidal.

Of course Hamas hasn't murdered nearly as many Jews as the Nazis did, but that seems largely because it hasn't had the power to do so.

Nothing could surpass the barbarism of what Hamas did that day. I have seen and covered many conflicts in my life, but I have never seen anything quite like this.
As I said after watching at the Israeli embassy the other day the unedited footage of the massacre, this is one occasion when saying that some people are worse than the Nazis is not hyperbole.
Average members of the SS and other killing units of Hitler’s were rarely proud of their average days’ work. Very few felt that shooting Jews in the back of the head all day and kicking their bodies into pits was where their own lives had meant to end up.
Many spent their evenings getting blind drunk to try to forget. Nazi commanders had to worry about staff “morale”. When the war ended, the Nazis tried to pretend that Treblinka and other death camps never existed.
Compare this with the behaviour of Hamas on October 7. As those of us who have viewed the raw footage from the day have seen and heard for ourselves, these terrorists were not just pleased with what they were doing. They were elated. They spent the whole time screaming “Allahu Akbar” with delight. As they decapitated bodies and shot terrified civilians, they were grinning, congratulating each other and seeking acclaim from others.
