Yes, I do acknowledge that well-meaning & respectful folks will not agree with my phrasing, and may even so strongly object to it on the grounds listed at the beginning of my essay.
So be it. I recognize & acknowlege what they are saying, but the actions that I have seen justifies the use of the term. What happened to Jews, sexual dissidents, Romani, disabled, and the Left in Nazi Germany is EXACTLY what is happening to Palestinians and Leftist Jews right now. In my view, the term fits.
