We often see this amongst many of Israel’s ‘activists’ and supporters, who show a disregard for the existence of Palestine and Palestinians. Incidentally, that was the stated aim of the Nazis – the eradication or non-existence of a group. Israel advocacy groups and individuals should heed lessons from the darkest time in their history, rather than adopt some of the tactics and strategies used by Hitler, Goebbels, et al to delegitimise the Palestinians and their inalienable right to self-determination.

This is an Israel advocacy cartoon.

This cartoon implies that Palestinians have all these other countries they can go to, that are “Arab” countries.

It denies the existence of Palestinians as a distinctive group of people.

This is classic Israel advocacy, and this cartoon in particular is like telling the citizens of any European country that they don’t exist, and shouldn’t have their country, because there are many other European countries in Europe.

Imagine Spain was split into two, with a new country invented so people from Arab can move into it.

Now look at the cartoon, and imagine Israel was a newly created country in Spain for Arabs, called Umayyad. Then replace the Palestinian man with a Spanish man. And replace all the Arab countries with European countries.

It’d be like Umayyad (Israel in the cartoon), telling the Spanish (the Palestinian in the cartoon), that they can just go and live in all the other European countries (Arab countries in the cartoon).

This denial, and eradication of the existence of a distinct group of people is what Nazism had planned for the Jews.

That didn’t end well for Nazism, and it won’t end well for Zionism either.
