PETA HOLOCAUST

In a sign of growing anti-Semitism on the fringes of the political left, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have started an advertising campaign that equates allegedly inhuman conditions at chicken farms to the Holocaust. Here's how a PETA Web site describes the campaign:

PETA's thought-provoking display "Holocaust on Your Plate" spotlights this disturbing parallel by juxtaposing stomach-churning images of Jews' and animals' experiences on freestanding 8-foot panels. As observers walk around the display, they will gain an understanding of the common roots of victimization and violence and how they can help fight them through decisions that they make every time they eat.

A PETA press release "seeks approval from [the] Jewish community" for its campaign, a request the Anti-Defamation League calls "the height of chutzpah." What's next, a campaign likening slaughterhouses to the lynching of black Americans? Is there anything PETA regards as beyond the pale?
