We have a new winner for Improbable Slippery Slope Argument.

The rest of the article is also pretty nigh on racist. What other reason is there for describing anti-Arab marriage laws as fundamentally different from the Nuremberg marriage laws? How about the land ownership laws? Or the record of discrimination, torture, the constant racist public pronouncements ­ how is that not patterned like the European racisms? ...or moving slightly off-centre, the doctrine that goyim blood is not like Jewish blood - how can you avoid the resonances of that? Or the historical link between Reform Zionism and fascism? Silence on these subjects is utterly reprehensible, particularly in the present context. Such an astonishing level of hypocrisy and severely harms the legitimate and very respectable struggle to purge the left of anti-Semites.

My own take on the subject:
