Holocaust Inversion: The Portraying of Israel and Jews as Nazis

April 1, 2007 | Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld
The false accusation of Holocaust inversion—the portraying of Israel, Israelis, and Jews as Nazis—is a major distortion of history. This anti-Semitic concept claims that Israel behaves against the Palestinians as Germany did to the Jews in World War II. “The victims have become perpetrators,” is one major slogan of the inverters. By shifting the moral responsibility for genocide, Holocaust inversion also contains elements of Holocaust denial.
