one can compare american occupation to the german occupation of france
one can compare the american indian reservations to the westbbank
hell one can compare russian cossacks to american soldiers...

you just have to pick and choose which elements are similar and then you have a comparison.
____________

she's not interested in a "table" of where you would have a subject and then "rate it" warsaw vs gaza....the comparisons would be absurd.....shes mainly interested in the emotional output and what you can take away from it. If gaza is like the warsaw ghetto guess what that makes the israelis on the borders?........

The main theme is, in case you missed it:
As long as the Palestenians are considered helpless, not only are they not responsible for their actions, but she cannot judge them as well...hence gaza has to be the warsaw ghetto. To do so however requires two essential ingredients:

1) she has to ignore and condemn what the Palestenians of gaza, their govt what they actual say, do and believe (she basically claims their own culture as non existent or that hers is superior and knows better)

2) it means ignoring the egyptian border or believing that the zionist/israel actually control egyptian foreign policy

so the first is elitist racism,
while the second is either the classic jew/israel conspiracy belief along the lines of the elders of zion, or that facts are not relevant when it comes to a pushing an agenda.
