Conference concludes: Gaza war legitimized equating Jews with Nazis
Heckuvajob Ehud(s).

The operation in Gaza put an end to the European taboo on equating Jews to Nazis. That message was one of the conclusions of the first international panel discussion on anti-Semitism following the Gaza invasion, which was held in Jerusalem Monday on the eve of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Speaking at the panel, which was part of the World Zionist Congress conference, Professor Dina Porat said, "the comparison has now become self-understood." She added this applied not only to Muslims in Europe, but among "leftist circles."

Porat, an international authority on anti-Semitism and head of Tel Aviv University's research body on this phenomenon, added that Operation Cast Lead has "left no doubt" that Muslims in Europe had, "prepared in advance a public campaign against Jews and Israel, which they see as one and the same." " were waiting for a signal or a pretext to launch this campaign and the Nazism comparison," she said.

This tactic, she elaborated, proved most effective when Europeans from the left wing "worked in unison" with Muslims.
