Antisemitism defined: Why drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to the Nazis is antisemitic – Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to the Nazis is a form of Holocaust inversion and Holocaust distortion | World Jewish Congress

Comparing Israeli policy towards Palestinians with Nazi policy regarding Jews is an example of Holocaust inversion, where reality is inverted (the Israelis are cast as the „new“ Nazis and the Palestinians as the „new“ Jews), and an inversion of morality (the Holocaust is presented as a moral lesson for, or even a moral indictment of, „the Jews“). Holocaust Inversion acts as a force against identifying the changing nature of contemporary antisemitism and creating a cohesive coalition against it. After all, who would want to defend modern-day Nazis?
