Considering KN occured after the Nazis were in power and was about smashing windows of an oppressed minority, consolidating the state's intention to wipe out the Jews I'm pretty sure this is a vacuous analogy and one that is extremely offensive to those who lost loved ones in the Holocaust.<br /><br />It was part of a progrom against Jews intended to drive them out of the country. Do you think the student revolts are similar to this?<br /><br />If you can't tell the difference between state sponsored violence against an ethnic minority and the smashed windows of a student direct action against government policy then God help you.<br /><br />btw: I assume you're the anon who accused me of deleting your posts but have now realised that you were looking in the wrong place.
