Roseanne Barr Is Totally Nuts! Calling Israel a Nazi State is Insane!

Israel may not be a perfect nation, and in many ways it has not been allowed to exist in normal circumstances, by any means, but for Roseanne Barr to call it a Nazi State shows just how little she knows about or understands the dire circumstances that face Israel every single moment! She compared Hamas to two rival and historic L.A. gangs, which is not only offensive to those particular gangs, but is totally absurd! The two gangs in question never teach children to strap on explosives and commit murderous suicidal terrorist attacks, they do not launch missiles into Beverly Hills or into Hollywood, and they certainly do not call for the destruction of Hollywood/Beverly Hills and the annihilation of famous movie stars and celebrities! Hamas hides behind relatively innocent men, women and children, which includes most Gaza Palestinian Arabs, and then launches indiscriminate missile attacks into Israel, even though Israel no longer occupies Gaza! Hamas teaches poor and relatively uneducated people, even young children and young adults, to do the most inhuman thing: to commit suicide attacks! And Hamas, which is serving the interests of fanatic pseudo-Islamic extremists and not the interests of relatively peaceful Palestinian Sunnite-majority Muslims, has attempted to create a situation that, had Israel not acted on time, would certainly have caused even greater numbers of innocent casualties! When Roseanne Barr, who uses her Jewish ancestry to try to give legitimacy to her ill-advised and misinformed opinions, calls Israel a Nazi State, she not only seriously harms efforts at creating a long-term, viable peace in the region, but she endangers the security and safety of millions of people all over the world, Jewish and otherwise, who understand that there is no room for legitimizing terrorism. My reason for writing this is because Wikipedia's entry on this issue is too brief and relatively sterile, compared to the seriousness of the controversy at hand. Celebrities, especially Jewish celebrities, have all the right to criticize excessive actions taken by Israel, but to use their status to help re-enforce public misconceptions should not be met with silence on the part of responsible intellectuals, whether they be Palestinians, Israelis, Jews or Muslims. Wikipedia has a responsibility to report facts and that includes reactions from alternate and opposing sources.
