None of Bobad's list covrs in any way anything here other than the growing claims by high ranking Israelis that what is happening in Israel today is comparable with pre-war Germany

The date on Bobad's cut-'n-paste says it all -June 8, 2010 - a lot of blood has flowed under the bridge since then.
The U.S. definition carefully avoids the one that the European one faced head-on, Israel's responsibility towards the Jewish people as a whole.
The old one says that it was not Antisemitic to criticise Israeli behaviour - this one doesn't.
The old one says it was Antisemitic to equate the actions of Isreal with the Jewish People as a whole - this one doesn't.
This is not a definition to combat Antisemitism; if is a defence of Israeli war crimes and acts of terrorism - it is hardly surprising that the U.S. has used its U.N. veto over a hundred times to prevent Israeli State terrorism being condemned internationally.
Given the current swing to the extreme right in Israel, this is a very dangerous situation for the world to be in.
We really have been here before - in the 1930s
