I'm sure you mean "teaching", although the UN is probably treating children in Gaza for their own almost-holocaust...

(1) Yes, I did mean teaching, ta.

(2) Comparisons with Nazi policy are disgusting: so vilely inappropriate as to be anti-Semitic since the Jewish state is being tarred with a unique level of sin utterly at odds with what is and has actually happened.

2) a) I'm not comparing the policy, I'm comparing the bodies.

(2a) Specious evasion. Six million deliberately and sytematically rounded up and killed for simply being Jewish (plus those killed for being gay, Gypsy etc) is not remotely the same as fighting a war with an enemy who deliberately hides behind civilians. Simple decency should preclude using the Holocaust as a weapon against Jews, even by implication.

(2b) Specious evasion. The term 'anti-Semitism' has a clear specific meaning of Jew-hatred. Hamas is an anti-Semitic organisation.
