New York – Republican Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee’s assertion that the American-Iranian nuclear accord “will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven” is an acceptable analogy, the Zionist Organization of America said on Tuesday.

Huckabee came under intense criticism from the White House, the Anti-Defamation League and congressional Democrats for what they contend is an inappropriate use of Holocaust imagery.
While ZOA President Morton Klein said that he generally opposes the use of Holocaust analogies “because they usually bear no relation to unique horrors of the Nazi era,” Huckabee’s statement is substantively different.
“Tragically, empowering with an eventual nuclear weapons capacity — as this deal does, and as President Barack Obama himself has admitted — an Iranian regime that has repeatedly spoken of wiping out the Jewish state of Israel does bear some relationship to the Nazi era and Governor Huckabee, therefore, did not speak out of place,” he said.
It is no less offensive than Abba Eban’s use of the phrase “Auschwitz lines” to describe the pre-’67 boundaries of Israel.
I was listening to WOR radio in New York when they discussed this is the morning. They asked people to call in on this subject.
Interesting, 100% of the callers agreed wit Huckabee. What was more astounding was that all the callers that did not get on the air were also with Huckabee. The interviewers were amazed.
Schumer the ‘shomer’ – he is still looking at the treaty. Time to get rid of him for a goy with a consience.
Wet blood. ZOA is looking for christian fundimentalist support. They fear the ovens and not G-d. The ovens are not the future but G-d is real. Fear G-d and live. Hate the enemy. Curse the day the ovens were built. And never live in nazi rule.
And we wonder why ZOA has become completely irrelevant other than as a fundraising and publicity vehicle for Klein.
Who is this Moron Klein?
Is there a circus in the city that missing a clown?
Listen to Huckabee!
He is trying to stand for Jewish people!
Huckabee is a religious man. Too bad he believes that when Israel is destroyed, yiozela will return. Nice.
For those Jews who live in Israel, there is nothing to apologize for. We feel what Huckabee said is correct!
It is the zionist of AMERICA that have it wrong, if they are Zionists, why are they in america?
The Huckabee statement was a political ploy. Israel is not Birkenau in 1944. According to Iran Israel has a nuclear weapons and I am sure he delivery system too, Maybe Mr. Huckabee should check the American Nazi party and Aryan websites in his home state which advocate the kiling
