    I can understand why comparisons to nazi Germany are pointlessly antagonist, inaccurate and counter productive - but South Africa apartheid seems reasonable. There is a caste system in greater Israel. With the Arab Israelis being akin to Cape coloureds. Some of the rights of white people, but significantly lower status. While the indigenous blacks had few rights and could be made homeless or imprisoned with few controls or chances to appeal.

    Browsing the Heart of Iron IV Forums today I saw someone asking why the Jewish conspiracy that dragged Italy and Germany into WWII wasn't modeled.
    The bulk of anti-Semitism is from right wing loons. That's why the tactic of labeling all criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic, and of claiming that it's the left that Jews have the most to fear from is totally wrong headed.
