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.
