A foul comparison

Leo Rennert penned an article titled Israel and illegal African migrants -- NY Times piles on the guilt, evokes Nazi German.

In a highly emotional piece that draws a direct parallel with Nazi Germany's treatment of Jews, Kekrshner writes: "The government clampdown is ripping at Israel's soul. For some, the connotations of roundups and the prospect of mass detentions cut close to the bone. 'I feel I am in a movie in Germany, circa 1933 or 1938,' said Orly Feldheim, 46, a daughter of Holocaust survivors."

This is a foul, abject comparison. As a refugee myself, I can contribute some personal experience in denouncing Kershner's piece. My family left the Austrian capital of Vienna in December, 1938, after it became amply clear that our very lives were in imminent danger. In Germany and then Austria and then throughout Europe, 6 million Jews were rounded up and slaughtered. A few lucky refugees, our family included, managed to stay hidden, in our case in Belgium, for the rest of the German occupation.


No such fate threatens African refugees in Israel. African infiltrators repatriated to places like South Sudan are not about to end up in gas chambers.
