Dan Ehrlich, an American based in London, used Nazi terminologies to support Israel’s use of illegal practices employed by the Third Reich. Similarly, US-based Yochana Gordons justified Genocide when done by Israel. Both, like Western countries, support Nazi war methods when used by Israel.
Proudly Nazi in Practices and Terminologies
The West allows Israel to Blockade and Ghettoize.
Over the last decades, Israel ghettoized Gaza as Germany did to Jews in the 1940s, while its Western backers continue supporting it including by using terminologies coined by Nazi intelligentsia such as Lebensraum. Lebensraum was a supremacist concept translating into ‘living space’, which was developed in the late 19th century by a German, Friedrich Ratzel. Ratzel argued that some nations require territorial expansion to thrive. This expansion connoted violently taking over land from people that a supremacist society would conveniently classify as not deserving of life or land. This idea was adopted by Nazi general Karl Hashofer in the 1920 and 30s, and formed bases for the German invasion of Eastern Europe including the USSR during WWII, which resulted in the deaths of over 26 million soviet citizens. Thus, it is unthinkable today that proponents of Israel support the Jewish state to use this toxic ideology and genocide, which shows how the West did not disagree with Nazi ideology but only with the party implementing it in the 1930s and 40s.
The leadership in the West accept Nazi practices when done by their preferred regimes to advance their interest, noting that these leaders have revealed that Israel represents their interests. A leaked Israeli Memo sent to Washington in 2008 revealed how the country’s government planned to maintain blockaded Gaza’s economy on the brink of collapse using a justification of weakening Hamas, actions that when sustained would stifle the Gazan population and render the land for Israeli expansion; Lebensraum. The US and Europe have aided Israel in maintaining this atrocious plan set in motion over a decade before the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas, which is framed as a reason for Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gazan. In the aforementioned memo, Israel argued that its actions were a response to the election of Hamas, which the Jewish state had supported to defeat the Palestinian Authority. Israel and its backers have instituted economic ghettoization of the Palestinian enclave, measuring 365 square Kilometers. It restricts the movement of Gazans and prevents them from using the Mediterranean Sea, a reality that Western countries only talk about but continue to arm Israel.
Western Talking Shops
In 2022 Human Rights Watch reported that Gaza was an open-air prison, which amounted to apartheid and persecution, but this NGO, UN, and other Western bodies allowed the status quo to prevail. Israel’s blockade in addition to ruining Gaza’s economy was also used to limit the calories getting into this enclave, hence condemning residents to hunger and destitution. If another country was conducting such inhuman acts, the US and Europe would have sanctioned or invaded it, especially if it was resource-rich, but Israel continues receiving unconditional support. Also, Israel maintained intermittent military raids, drone strikes, and military operations in Gaza, perpetuating terror that the West pretended not to see, before flipping the script to blame Gazans for genocide occurring after October 7th.
In June and July 2025, Israel continued its established trend of using methods of war used by Nazi Germany. For instance, on 27th June, Haaretz reported that IDF soldiers had been ordered to shoot at Gazan civilians waiting for aid. About 500 civilians have been killed in such terror practices, a reality that the West ignores. This stage of depravity coincides with Hitler’s last stage of attempts at eliminating Jews, which followed ghettoization, just like Israel began with pushing Palestinians to Gaza, blockading the enclave, and sabotaging its economy. Surprisingly, Western countries that occasionally pose as being against Nazism support Israel’s action, confirming they only disagreed with Nazi Germany over other reasons and not its savagery. Again, the reality that Israel has indiscriminately bombed nearly all buildings, farms, and water sources in Gaza made Gaza’s population vulnerable, and easy to lure to the supposed aid distribution centers where they face additional humiliation and gunfire.
It is a similar process of destabilization that made Jews vulnerable to being lured into gas chambers during WWII in supposed transit to labor camps. Under desperate conditions, labor camps could appear to some as tolerable outcomes, just like destitute Gazans are made to risk being shot at to get food. Parallels between Hitler’s gas chambers and Gaza’s aid camps (which are turning out to be death stations) come out strongly amidst reports that Israel was hiding oxycodone tablets inside bags of flour distributed to the besieged population. It is hard to determine what other toxic substances were hidden in such aid materials, which may be hard to detect but calculated to harm recipients without incriminating Israelis. Some media houses have tried to dispute or water down reports of the presence of oxycodone tablets hidden in flour but in vain.
Laundering than Stopping Nazi Practices
Amidst a slew of reports revealing illegal and Macabre actions conducted by Israelis, the Western media has been attempting to discredit such reports to absolve the perpetrator rather than trying to stop these crimes. However, such attempts continue to look ludicrous than promote Israel’s innocence. For instance, the Western media tried to discredit the findings of a survey done by Harvard in aid distribution centers which found that 370,000 Gazans were missing, by stating that the missing were not necessarily killed. However, those trying to discredit this survey are unable to explain how such a huge number of people can be alive without being noticed in the densely populated open-air prison. Surprisingly, estimates from late 2024 revealed that 400, 000 Gazans would die from the indirect effects of the war, which makes the presumption that the 370, 000 missing have been killed plausible.
The Western media supports Israel’s efforts to cause the maximum deaths to Gazans while dismissing the victim’s casualty, which is similar to the inhumane practices of the Third Reich. The practice of allowing the West to launder Nazi-style atrocities when done by Israel is a threat to all in the non-Western world. It promises to keep Israel’s war in the Middle East going indefinitely, while providing for the use of such methods by Western countries in their endless wars of colonial rampage. The sooner action is taken to fight all modern-day expression of Nazism, the safer every non-Western person in the world will be.
