I think this one from Dry Bones says it all.

After all, Obama's analogy only works if the following things were true in 1933.

• Jews controlled 97% of Europe while Germans controlled 3%.
  
• Jews were regularly murdering innocent German women and children in terror attacks.
  
• German policy was to avoid the killings of innocent Jewish civilians.
  
• Jewish acts of terror were blamed on German intransigence by the international community.
  
• Germany made repeated concessions to Jewish demands, while the Jews refused to live up to any agreement made with the Germans.
  

Of course, none of those conditions applied in Germany in 1933 -- but every single one of them has been the status quo for decades in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. So either Barack Obama is woefully ignorant of history, perniciously hateful of Jews, or simply finds it convenient to belittle the Holocaust by drawing an inapt moral equivalence between the innocent victims of the Holocaust and murderous aggressors in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Or perhaps all three.
