What nonsense. Nothing makes a lefty feel better and allows for the expression of moral outrage under the guise of rational empiricism than comparing the U.S. and Israel to the Nazis. I love that move where there are such things as good nationalisms and bad nationalisms.

So China, with its domestic suppression and forced movement of labor and ethnic groups, and Cuba, which quarantines AIDS patients so they don't infect the body politic, have nothing in common with Naziism?
