Adolf Hitler and Hassan Nasrallah

It absolutely amazes me that every man and woman in America is not firmly in Israel's corner in its battle with Hezbollah. Americans are nearly unanimous in their condemnation of Adolf Hitler, and if he were alive and waging war today, nearly all Americans would be fully engaged in supporting his defeat. Yet look at the following quotations and try to determine which ones can be attributed to Hitler and which ones can be attributed to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

1) This Jewish contamination will not subside, this poisoning of the nation will not end, until the carrier himself, the Jew, has been banished from our midst.

2) Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.

3) If they (Jews) all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.

4) If we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology and religion, we would not find anyone like the Jew.

It's a bit difficult to tell which words are Hitler's and which are Nasrallah's when it comes to anti-Semitism. However, Hitler and the Nazis are demonized (and rightfully so), while Nasrallah and Hezbollah get a pass.

But Hitler also fought Americans, and unless Nasrallah threatens America, what should we care? Consider the following quotes, both of which are Nasrallah's:

Let the entire world hear me. Our hostility to the Great Satan [America] is absolute ...

I conclude my speech with the slogan that will continue to reverberate on all occasions so that nobody will think that we have weakened. Regardless of how the world has changed after 11 September, Death to America will remain our reverberating and powerful slogan: Death to America.

We rarely hear it in American media, but Nasrallah and Hezbollah are an enemy of America along the lines of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Right now, Israel is fighting this part of the war on terror for us. They need and deserve the support of every American.

And in case you're interested, of the four anti-Semitic quotes above, numbers 1 and 2 were Hitler's; 3 and 4 were Nasrallah's.
