One of the major tools of Jew—haters in today's world is false assertions of moral equivalence between horrific monsters and alleged deficiencies of Israel or Jews. The latest example comes from Switzerland, where a government report on "extremist" groups has warned of the dangers of Jewish extremists in that country.

Switzerland's small Jewish community is outraged. They maintain that there is absolutely no activity advocating or employing violence by any Jewish groups in Switzerland. It should be noted that Switzerland is the home of Tariq Ramadan, whose rhetoric and links to terrorism have ben highlighted several times on this site, most recently here.

It is all of piece: assert that Israel practices apartheid; assert that Jews manipulate Christians for evil designs; assert that Jewish settlers and Arab suicide bombers are really the same. The underlying intent is to demoinize and then exterminate the world's Jews. The Twentieth Century showed where this leads. The world has still not learned.
