Why was this deleted?

Pretzel, the post was not inane but perfectly accurate. Second, not all Nazi analogies are inappropriate.

The Guardian deleted it because the Palestinians chose to elect a Nazi-like organisation, and the Guardian thinks it can effect an Orwellian revision of history by censoring such facts.

You are coming to resemble Berchamns – each time you open your motuh, your reveal ignorance.

It takes only a few seconds to identify the resemblance of Hamas to the NSDAP. Just for starters:

- genocidal objectives
- intent to occupy/eliminate neighbour(s)
- compromise only as a temporary diversion
- virulent anti-Semitism
- murder as a solution to political issues within one’s own group
- leaders (e.g., Yassin) of little competency other than violent demagogy
- an allegiance to fascism both in ideas and in behaviour

Re Pretzel

“You are coming to resemble Berchamns – ”

Prezzy is getting more and more desperate to try to avoid the comparison even cracking lumpen jokes at my expense to try to ingratiate himself with the mainstream here. But he is dead right . You cannot compare Hamas to the Nazis on CIF.

All such comparisons are deleted. It is not just because it is stupid historically…but such likenesses are purely incendiary and deliberately so.

You are a Nazi…no you are a Nazi…………….4th year at school .

The generally accepted criterions of fascism in according to Wiki applied in the case of Hamas:

Fascists believe that a nation is an organic community that requires strong leadership, collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong.[16]

Check.

Fascists identify violence and war as actions that create national regeneration, spirit and vitality.[17]

Check.

Fascists claim that culture is created by collective national society and its state, that cultural ideas are what give individuals identity, and thus rejects individualism.[16]

Check.

In viewing the nation as an integrated collective community, fascists claim that pluralism is a dysfunctional aspect of society, and justify a totalitarian state as a means to represent the nation in its entirety.[18][19]

Check.

Fascism rejects and resists autonomy of cultural or ethnic groups who are not considered part of the fascists’ nation and who refuse to assimilate or are unable to be assimilated.[20]

Check.

Fascists consider attempts to create such autonomy as an affront and threat to the nation.[20]

Check.

Fascists advocate the creation of a single-party state.[21] Fascist governments forbid and suppress openness and opposition to the fascist state and the fascist movement.[22]

Check.

Fascists oppose class conflict, blame capitalism and liberal democracies for its creation, and accuse communists of exploiting the concept.[23]

Check.

In the economic sphere, many fascist leaders have claimed to support a “Third Way” in economic policy, which they believed superior to both the rampant individualism of unrestrained capitalism and the severe control of state socialism.[24][25] This was to be achieved by establishing significant government control over business and labour (Italian fascist leader Benito Mussolini called his nation’s system “the corporate state”).[26][27]

Check.

Inane reference?

I disagree with Independent Observer, so they cheaply lump me together with Berchmans.

Pretty poor stuff, I must say.
