Of course these are the same people who supporters of the Israeli government’s extremist policies consider allies of all ‘real’ Jews. That is, all Jews who unquestioningly agree with Israel’s alarming rightward lurch and dehumanization of Palestinians.
I’m not only not a ‘real’ Jew because my liberal values demand I question Israel’s behavior, I’m actually antisemitic! Whereas these guys on the extreme right, who consistently compare themselves to holocaust victims, are considered more of an ally to Judaism(because if it fits the correct agenda, Israel = Judaism, therefore criticizing Israel = hating Jews) than I am. Because not only do they not question the neo-fascism going on in the Israeli political and military leadership - they champion it. They fund it the most extreme settlers, their violent attacks on Palestinians, mosques and Muslims. They have even helped them achieve a staggering amount of political power in Israel and the U.S.
So this kind of stuff, whilst essentially spitting on the graves of holocaust victims, means nothing in the scheme of things. The only consequences they ever face is a mild rebuke from a nonprofit advocacy group or two - but will continue to be seen as extremely valuable allies to Israel.

I often wonder in despair why it is that so many Greater Israel fanatics support these christian extremists. They see Jews as nothing but a means to their biblical End Times fantasy. Yet they continue to be embraced, regardless of how their words make very plain what they truly think of we Jews.
