To be sure, excessive zeal in denouncing Israel, and cheap comparisons between Israeli violence and Nazi mass murder, betray a dubious urge to throw off the burdens of guilt. After decades of feeling obliged to drop the collective European head in shame for what was done to the Jews, people can finally say with an element of glee that Jews can be murderers, too.
平心而论，过度热衷于谴责以色列、将以色列的暴力与纳粹的大规模屠杀简单地相提并论有急于摆脱愧疚包袱之嫌。几十年来，欧洲有一种集体愧疚，觉得应该为此前对犹太人所做的事感到羞愧，如今，人们终于可以带着幸灾乐祸的心理说，犹太人也可能是杀人犯。但是，尽管这不太合适，却并不一定是反犹主义。
