And what's with 'my' speculation? Not 'mine' at all, but that of Alibhai-Brown, Straw,and two Pakistani community leaders & spokesmen. Nothing like attributing opinions to people which they haven't expressed & then making a big deal of ir. Carroll a master of that ploy ~~

& the insidious and invidious use of phrases designed to wind up Jews: phrases of baleful, distressing, offensive associations and connotations to them all ~~ "Nazi echoes, holocaust in reverse" ~~ not once but again & again & again; with the obvious intent of offending and distressing Jews who read it: he has been told time & again of the offensive connotations, but goes on unashamedly insulting & distressing them with these locutions.

If that is not the action of a deliberate and intentional antisemite, what is?
