[Marxism] Israel's "Auschwitz Borders" Revisited

[Dbachmozart@xxxxxxx]

ISRAEL'S "AUSCHWITZ BORDERS" REVISITED 
By Ali Abunimah, The Electronic  Intifada, 8 December 2008 

In 1969, Israel's legendary diplomat Abba Eban  warned that
withdrawal from the territories his country occupied in
June  1967 would be a return to "Auschwitz borders." Since
then some Israeli  politicians have used these provocative
words to attack almost anyone who  defies them. Eban's
meaning was clear -- by comparing Israel to the  most
notorious and emblematic Nazi death camp, he was in effect
saying  that Arabs in general and Palestinians in
particular are Nazis no less  capable and desirous of
exterminating Jews than was Hitler. In Hebron,  however, it
is Israeli settlers protected by the Israeli army  who
frequently paint threats such as "Arabs to the gas
chambers" on  Palestinian houses. EI co-founder Ali
Abunimah  comments.
