Sinds Reuters de opmerking van onderminister Vilnai, dat de Palestijnen een grotere ramp over zich afroepen met het afschieten van raketten, onjuist heeft vertaald met een 'grotere Holocaust', zijn de Palestijnen hier gretig op ingesprongen. Hamas noemde Israël de nieuwe nazi's en Hamasleider Meshaal sprak van de 'echte Holocaust', in tegenstelling tot de Joodse Holocaust die Israël overdrijft en gebruikt om de wereld af te persen. Abbas noemt de huidige escalatie in de Gazastrook 'meer dan een Holocaust'.
We zullen nog veel van dergelijke vergelijkingen horen, ook nadat allang duidelijk is dat Vilnai het gebruikelijke Hebreeuwse woord voor 'ramp' gebruikte.

RAMALLAH, March 1, 2008 (WAFA - PLO news agency)- President Mahmud Abbas denounced on Saturday a deadly Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip that has killed at least 32 people as "more than a holocaust."
"It's very regrettable that what is happening is more than a holocaust. We tell the world to see with its own eyes and judge for itself what is happening and who is carrying out international terrorism," President told reporters in Ramallah.
"It is regrettable that Israel uses this word, banned for more than 60 years, the word 'holocaust,' and we demand that the world respond," Abbas said.
President called for "international protection for the Palestinian people" while his office said he had contacted several world leaders to press for an end to the Israeli assault.
"It is unthinkable that Israel's reaction to Palestinian rocket attacks -- which we condemn -- can be so terrible and frightening," Abbas said, adding that the attacks were targeting "innocent women, children and old people.
