Comparing Nazi Germany to Israel is like comparing the Whoa. I don't see where the Baba was comparing Israel to anything. I read the "your" as referring to Martillo (and I sure as heck hope his opinions are not in any way representative of official or unofficial Israeli policy!). In relation to Martillo, I see no problem with using the term "Final Solution," with all its connotations, to describe his aim of liberating the world from the unspeakable menace of Islam and its adherents. Martillo has posted articles advocating the subjugation of "Muslim countries" (left undefined) and the eradication of Islam. He did not detail how he proposed to re-educate those who persisted in their beliefs, but I don't think he would be willing to wait until they died of natural causes. I don't think Martillo has got very far with the implementation of his policies yet, but that does not diminish my distaste for them. It is a pity that Greg Kuperberg, despite his knowledge of the Nazi atrocities, is not sensitive to the seeds of the same ideas contained in Martillo's postings. Anil Pal U. of Wisconsin-Madison
