Arizona's tough new law against illegal immigration has prompted furious protests and boycotts but Jewish groups say opponents who compare it with the rise of Nazi Germany are going too far.
"Survivors and others are very upset about this," he said Friday. "When you exaggerate, it's very harmful to them when they know that their mothers and fathers were taken to the gas chambers without any recourse to the law. They lost children."
The Arizona law that takes effect in July makes illegal immigration a state as well as a federal crime. It requires police to ask a person about his or her immigration status if there's "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the country illegally.
"We can't let this advance any further," Koretz said. "It is absolutely dangerous."
The Wiesenthal Center opposes the immigration law.
"We think it stigmatizes immigrants, for example, Latinos," Hier said. "A white American would never have to face such a challenge so it's openly discriminatory in its nature."
However, Hier said it is unjust to compare a law passed by democratically-elected officials to those made in a totalitarian state that gave its victims no recourse to the law.
"Here, to call fellow Americans Nazis is beyond the pale. Not every tremor is the Haiti earthquake," Hier said.

All of a sudden, the Jews have acquired wisdom?
When is the last time they spoke anything but propaganda.

Jews only do what's best for their people
They use their holocaust propaganda as an all out means to special rights and privileges
When it suits the Jews they are on your side when it doesn't they are on the other side of the fence.

So you wish to marginalize their horrific holocaust so that you can politicize the ILLEGAL Immigration bill. Your post speaks volumes by itself.

I'm not Marginalizeing anything.
YOU brought it into the thread as a badge of honour.
It is YOU who use the Holocaust for Political Gains, like some "get out of
jail" free card.
Get off your High Horse.

Have you not been paying attention to the groups that are in Israel that side with the Palestinians? or How about the politicians who denounce the policies that the majority in power is making?
