Secondary Antisemitism: The Jews Share Responsibility for the Holocaust

“Former Hamas leader, Abdel-Aziz Rantisi: “People always talk about what the Germans did to the Jews, but the true question is, ‘What did the Jews do to the Germans?’”^[1][1] https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/08/what-would-hamas-do-if-it-could-do-whatever-it-wanted/375545/

• In perhaps one of the most disturbing revelations of this survey, 11% of U.S. Millennial and Gen Z respondents believe Jews caused the Holocaust.^[2][2] https://www.claimscon.org/millennial-study/
   
• The findings were more disturbing in New York where an astounding 19% of respondents felt Jews caused the Holocaust; followed by 16% in Louisiana, Tennessee, and Montana and 15% in Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Nevada and New Mexico.^[3][3] https://www.claimscon.org/millennial-study/

Prof. Lesley Klaff (quoting Deborah Lipstadt):

“The false equivalencing of Israel and the Nazis, she says, ‘elevates by a factor of a zillion any wrongdoings Israel might have done, and lessens by a factor of a zillion what the Germans did.’

And as Anthony Julius points out, the Zionist = Nazi trope not only says to the world that the ‘Zionists are to the Palestinians what Nazis were to the Jews’, but also that ‘the “Zionists” and Nazis share the same Fascist ideology’ and that ‘the “Zionists” were complicit with the Nazis in the Holocaust.”^[4][4] https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/42540646.pdf
