Also, lots of things are comparable to the Nazi parties treatment of the Jewish people. Lots of countries have committed lots of atrocities, and comparing those situations to Nazis is actually quite helpful so that nothing like the nazis ever happens again.

I would posit that it is only through the comparison of the Nazis treatment of the Jewish people that we ensure that things like that never happen again.

Are you arguing that things like that should happen again, sirrah?

Absolutely not. I am not disagreeing with your initial statement (about the commercial). I am arguing your use of the "rhetorical trick" of bringing the Nazi experience up as an example - specifically, I am saying that comparisons to the experience of the Holocaust weaken your initial argument, as making the comparison opens the door to all sorts of idiots spewing all sorts of anti-Semetic crap. Such as this lovely bit...

Let me educate you metrosexual, politically correct, liberal nooblings on something.

Judaism is an ethnocentric, racist, supremacist cult. Christianity and Islam both are about recruiting people into their "religion". Judaism on the other hand, is all focused on "we are the chosen people, you are dog shit".

There are all kinds of texts they still follow to this day from the Torah about how it's ok to charge interest to gentiles but not other Jews and how stealing and killing is bad but gentiles aren't really people, they're more like animals, so it's not really that big of a fucking deal, etc.

People don't just come out of the woodwork and start killing them for no reason. It's because their entire ideology is inherently anti-everyone that's not jewish and inherently devoted to racial supremacy.

It's not a race, about 70% of people in Israel are of european origin. Only like 20-30% are Mizrahi (ie: arabic descent jews). It is a cult, no different from scientology or christianity, or Islam. The only difference is, Christians only whine if you don't convert, Islam wants to kill you if you don't convert, Judaism doesn't want you to convert, they want to treat you like a 2nd class citizen.

Straight from the mouth of one of the head's of the Israeli Rabbis in Jerusalem Post: "Yosef: Gentiles exist only to serve Jews"
