She didn't say it was the Holocaust. For someone who likes to shit on people for their lack of reading comprehension, he put his on full display here. As both a historian and a Jew, I not only don't find this insulting at all, but also have had this very discussion with my grandfather, a Jew who lived through the Holocaust, who finds this, among many other things, as being completely analogous to what happened in pre-war Nazi Germany.
What I do find insulting and insane, is that so many Jews are willingly burying their heads in the sand and letting history repeat. Learn from history rather than making certain historical events so untouchable and unspeakable that we can't talk about it or compare anything contemporary to it, and "thereto" let it happen again.
For people like Ben, it is completely unacceptable to be weary of anything and compare it to the Holocaust, until it literally reaches the point of Hitler being reincarnated and putting people on cattle cars. Of course, by then, the comparisons are futile
