Leftist rationalization

Yeah, this makes sense. A really pitiful sense, but sense nevertheless.

From Omri @ Dejafoo:

Even Rubinstein can’t bring himself to state the logical conclusion of this line of reasoning – the reason that Europeans have an interest in comparing Israel to the Nazi regime is so that they can convince themselves, in some sick way, that either the Holocaust wasn’t all that unique (and so Europeans needn’t feel too guilty) or that the Jews somehow deserved it because they’re doing the same thing now (and so the Europeans needn’t feel too guilty).
