Like all of you, the Nazis also ate breakfast. Does that make all of you just like the Nazis? No. Merely having details in common with something else does not make you just like that something else. Would you be acting just like the Nazis if you didn`t eat breakfast, but engaged in genocide? Yes, you would be. The critical thing about who the Nazis were and modern comparisons is the fact of the Final Solution, genocide.

Under apartheid people were segregated for racial reasons, so that the minority white gov`t could maintain control over the majority black population. That is the critical thing about what apartheid was. That is not, however, what underlies the roadblocks, separate roads or the security barrier.

What underlies such things is the need to prevent terrorist attacks. How do we know this? Because none of those things existed before the intifada and the terrorist attacks that accompanied it.
