The following are excerpts from the article: [1]
"Is it Logical for the Survivors of the Holocaust and Their Descendants to Do What the Nazis had Done to Them?"
"Ehud Olmert's government perpetrates definite Nazi practices against the Palestinians and the Lebanese. He is a young Führer, and his generals, like Dan Halutz and Moshe Kaplinsky, are commando generals. The question now is: Is it logical for the survivors of the Holocaust and their descendants to do what the Nazis had done to them?
"There is a psychological explanation for this: the victim impersonates the torturer. However, I have another explanation.
"Historically, six million Jews died in the Holocaust, and 97.5 percent of the Polish Jews were killed in the gas chambers, and by other means. My explanation is that the number of the Jews who were killed might be higher. All the Polish Jews might have been killed, too, and the Nazi political and military leaders might have realized since 1944 that defeat was imminent and, therefore, assumed the identity of Jews and then fled to Palestine as Jews who had survived the Holocaust.
"If this explanation is true, Israel's present political and military leaders are the grandsons of Nazi killers rather than Jews persecuted for centuries at the hands of Western Christendom."
"I know that my explanation may be implausible, but I cannot find any other logical reason for Israel's Nazi-like practices. The phrase 'Israeli Nazism' is exactly an oxymoron, as if we say, for instance, 'Sharon is a man of peace.'"...
Why, yes, yes it does sound implausible. But, sadly, not surprising.

So over-the-top that in the abstract it's like 3-Stooges, Laurel & Hardy or Abbott & Costello comedy. Imagine having a next-door neighbor who promulgated stuff like this, virtually on a daily basis, and who additionally fired rockets and missiles into your living room and kitchen windows every time you left them open! Then, additionally, the NYT and others spin it with some sophistical gloss and pretension, marginalizing and eliding stuff like this and emphasizing how we need to be open to "the other," how we need to realize this "other's" pov. Multi-culti and pomo abstractions used to confront the harsh realities that you're forced to live with.
A sitcom or a docudrama? To laugh or to cry? Or better, both.
Why it that those who claim others are Nazis exhibit Nazi-like traits themselves?
This comment is typical of Arab/Muslim denial. Unfortunate and sad, but typical.
