Is this Israel supporter rehabilitating the Nazis and justifying holocaust denial?
Douglas Murray has brought the Israel/Gaza propaganda war to a new low by apparently comparing Gazans – not just Hamas – with the German soldiers who carried out the Nazi Holocaust against Jewish people.
Worse, the platform from which he launched this heinous claim was the Jewish Chronicle.
See for yourself:
It won't surprise anyone that Douglas Murray indulges in apologetics for the Waffen SS with even Holocaust denial being a sign of SS decency. What did surprise me, though maybe it shouldn't have, is that he gave the SS a good reference in the @JewishChronhttps://t.co/BixCwjh34F pic.twitter.com/JpSCFBu6Ro

Watch this clip from around five minutes, 30 seconds in and you’ll hear Murray repeating his claim that German soldiers were ashamed of what the Nazis ordered them to do.
Isn’t this Holocaust revisionism which, as we are all taught, is one of the vilest kinds of anti-Semitism?
“The Nazis, as fundamentally evil as they were, believed that they were engaging in a necessary evil for an ultimate good; they still had a spark of humanity at their core”.
We are genuinely looking at utter insanity here. Nazi apologism to defend bombing civilians. https://t.co/YvYKr1JoJ1

He says the difference between the SS and the Gazans – not just Hamas, remember – is that the Gazans are proud of killing Jews.
There is no readily-apparent excuse for this behaviour – either by Murray or the Jewish Chronicle. Saying the Germans who carried out the so-called “Final Solution” were “just following orders” – the “Nuremberg Defence” – was not good enough when they were brought to justice for their crimes and it isn’t good enough now.
And Holocaust revisionism is Holocaust denial.
Murray claims to be supporting Israel but in his words it seems clear that he is undermining the Jews. If German soldiers were ashamed of what they were doing, as he says, then with the removal of the Nazi government, the reason for a Jewish state would have also been removed; Jews would have been safe where they were.
This was clearly not believed to be the case, as we see from the decision to create Israel.
Taking the reasoning further, though, if there was no reason for creating a Jewish state, there would be no reason for that state to have stolen land and property from its neighbours, the Palestinians; to have driven them into enclaves (ghettoes) like Gaza; and to have murdered tens of thousands of them over a period of decades.
There would have been no reason for Hamas to have been founded in the first place; no reason for Palestinians to seek restitution against their oppressors; and no reason for Murray to be standing on land that was once Palestine, spouting his nonsense.
Sadly, it was deemed that a Jewish state was necessary. The reason for that is the failure of European people of the time – and others – to understand and/or respect cultural diversity. Ultimate responsibility for the situation in Gaza falls on our ancestors.
Most particularly, it falls on the Germans who Murray disgustingly tries to pedestalise above the ordinary citizens of Gaza – half of whom are children and all of whom he appears to deem to be as bad as Hamas, and deserving of the collective punishment Israel is meting out on them all.
And that – as we all should know – would be an attempt to justify a war crime.
