Years ago, I read in the JPost that the Knesset was considering tattooing numbers on arm of Palestinians to help in identification.

Wiser heads prevailed by pointing out Hitler similarity, etc. LOL

Israeli war crimes are not the result of a few bad apples

Yes they are, unlike Hezbollah who uses war crimes as it basic tactic.


As for Hitler, he used many of the same methods Israel uses today.


That statement is entirely meaningless. Basic ideas in warfare get used over and over again. For example the fact the Hitler used blitzkrieg tactics, doesn't mean Israel (who used them against Arab armies) or the US (who used them in the invasion of Iraq) resemble Nazi regimes. There are also other tactics of methods that are commonly used by countries at war, that Israel and Nazi Germany might have shared. But what made the Nazi regimes stand out as odious were things like death camps, large scale use of slave labor etc. Israel has never behaved that way.
