This article has been mentioned by multiple media organizations: Hava Mendelle (March 23, 2024). "The World Jewish Congress investigates Wikipedia". Spectator Australia. Retrieved March 23, 2024. However, one example that can stand out is the article titled Comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany. This entry is disturbing due to its perpetuation of antisemitism through its overall contextual framing and biased portrayal of Israel. One may question the rationale behind such an article and ask why Israel, a democratic country, is singled out, whereas there are no dictatorships with parallel articles. Izabella Tabarovsky (25 July 2024). "Wikipedia's Jewish Problem". Tablet. Retrieved 25 July 2024. By contrast, the article normalizing equations between Israel and Nazi Germany—a propagandistic concept that has been weaponized against Jews for decades––remains on the site. Shraga Simmons (November 11, 2024). "Weaponizing Wikipedia against Israel: How the global information pipeline is being hijacked by digital jihadists". aish.

In November 2024, a keffiyeh-clad woman performed a Hitler salute at a Montreal pro-Palestine protest; afterward, the coffee franchise she ran condemned her "hateful remarks and gestures."^[1] Holocaust memorials have been defaced by pro-Palestine activists in Amsterdam and Milan. In Norway, a mural depicting Anne Frank in a keffiyeh was decried as antisemitic by the European Jewish Congress.^[2] On the November 2024 anniversary of Kristallnacht, the only glatt kosher restaurant in the U.S capital, Washington D.C., was vandalized by breaking glass. Kristallnacht, the Nazi-ordered night of antisemitic attacks on Jewish homes, synagogues and businesses, was known as the ‘night of the broken glass”.^[3]

@User:Smallangryplanet Please explain reverts. Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 23:45, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Allthemilescombined1 Hi, I reverted this because it doesn't have anything to do with comparing Israel and Nazi germany, which is the topic of the article. Smallangryplanet (talk) 11:54, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SmallangryplanetIt does have to do with Holocaust inversion, which now redirects to this article. Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 23:27, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Allthemilescombined1 a redirect is not meant to change the content of the article, it is just that: a redirect. This is obviously WP:SYNTH, and the information in question exists on other pages. Smallangryplanet (talk) 10:38, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In 2014, Palestinian Al-Quds University political science professor Mohammed Dajani led a trip for 30 students to Auschwitz to learn about the Holocaust.  He was accused of teaching a Zionist narrative, received threats, and was forced to resign from his teaching position at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem. Dajani later commented that in Palestinian society, “there is a social ban on researching any issue related to the Holocaust from the Jewish perspective.”^[1]

In 2023, President Mahmoud Abbas, speaking at a Fatah gathering, claimed that Hitler persecuted the Jews because of their “social role,” which “had to do with usury, money and so on and so forth.” He falsely denied that Ashkenazi Jews are descended from ancient Israelites. This echoed his 1982 Moscow doctoral thesis, which blamed Zionists for allowing the Holocaust to occur, and reduced the number of Jewish victims from six million to below one million.^[2]

In fall 2024, George Washington University's Program on Extremism began an Arabic-language program, as part of its Antisemitism Research Initiative, with a seminar on bringing Holocaust education to Arabic-speaking audiences. The initiative was led by Professor Omar Mohammed, and featured Faisal Saeed Al Mutar, founder of Ideas Beyond Borders.^[3]

Mina Abdelmalak, Arabic Audience Outreach Program Manager at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, discussed how to address the Holocaust knowledge gap on Professor Mohammed’s podcast, 36 Minutes on Antisemitism, in an episode entitled “Interfaith Dialogues and Addressing Antisemitism”.^[4]

@User:Smallangryplanet Please explain reverts. Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 23:49, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Allthemilescombined1 Same with this one, none of these incidents have anything to do with the topic of the article, i.e. none of them involve a comparison between Israel and Nazi Germany. It would be a frankly unbelievable WP:SYNTH to include them. Smallangryplanet (talk) 11:58, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SmallangryplanetThis article is what's left of the article on Holocaust inversion, so that's where it belongs. Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 23:28, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The topic of this article are comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany. None of this content is at all related to that topic, making it WP:SYNTH. nableezy - 23:30, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Allthemilescombined1 again, that's not how this works. There are all manner of redirects on this site, we do not use them as signposts for what content should be on the target of the redirect. Smallangryplanet (talk) 10:41, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A version of this article that is free of vandalism is available at https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_inversion Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 01:24, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That article is completely biased. It portrays anti-zionism as anti-semitism, which are far from the same ideology. I would not call it "free of vandalism" if it's just a zionist opinion article. — Snoteleks (talk) 17:38, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
