New York Times' services to Israeli propaganda

Look at this.  This is an article not by a Middle East correspondent of the Times but by its Washington correspondent.  But this is the thing about the Times: services to Israeli propaganda is not restricted to Middle East correspondents.  All are expected to chip in.  Israeli propagandists are permitted to freely do the typical Israeli propaganda shtick: to invoke the analogy with Nazi Germany and with 1933 or 1939--pick your date.  I mean, how many times do Israeli propagandists have to invoke the fake analogy with Nazi Germany before the media decides that it is really overdone and that Israeli can no more credibly use this propaganda ploy?  How many times did Zionists invoke the Nazi analogy?  Well, it began with Hajj Amin Husayni.  His two meetings with Hitler were made to be a long standing alliance, and Hajj Amin was made a a key figure in the Nazi regime.  There were two meetings between lousy Hajj Amin and Hitler and books, literally books, were written on the "alliance."  Nasser was compared to Hitler, as was the regime of Salah Jadid before 1967.  And then the Zionists overused the Nazi analogy with Saddam's regime, before it is applied to Iran.  I mean, outside the US, are people aware how mocked Israeli propaganda cliches are?  I mean, really?  More than that, the reverse analogy with Nazi Germany is recognized by all outside the US.
