Pipes on Joel Fishman's JCPA piece, The Big And The Media War Against Israel: From Inversion of the Truth to Inversion of Reality: Where the Nazi "Big Lie" Endures
Such groundwork proved its value after Israel's historic victory in the Six Day War of 1967, a humiliating defeat for both the Soviet Union and its Arab allies. The subsequent Soviet-Arab propaganda campaign denied Israel the right to defend itself and inverted reality by relentlessly accusing it of aggression. Precisely as Hitler had analyzed in Mein Kampf, if these impudent claims were at first thought insane, in the end they were believed.
Today's political madness, in other words, is directly linked to yesterday's. Might some of today's anti-Zionists be ashamed to realize that their thinking is, however repackaged, but an elaboration of the genocidal deceptions espoused by Hitler, Goebbels, and Himmler? Might they then abandon these views?
In other words, it has its origins in Europe and is alien to Islam?
I like how Pipes makes the link to those how are racially anti-Semitic to those who "denied Israel the right to defend itself" as if they were the same. Even more subtle is the connection - so non-existent that it has to be implied? - to the above group and those who merely wish Israel would realize that security doesn't always mean offence. People like, ahem, Israel's government commissions.
We must never forget that it was white people, on their own accord, who are responsible for the Holocaust.
