Violence is horrible no matter who and against whom it's perpetrated, and I don't think apologizing for Israel's misdeeds - and there have been plenty - is necessary.

But the comparison is completely inappropriate, because you can't take those pictures out of their context. In fact, using that kind of visual parallel is EXTREMELY misleading and deceptive. While it's heartbreaking to see dead Palestinian children and atrocities committed by Israeli forces, comparing the Israeli barrier and Israeli security to German extermination camps and the German SS is not only inaccurate, but grossly inappropriate and just flat out disgusting, because some uneducated fool out there will see it and internalize that as a true parallel. There's not even CLOSE to a comparison. I consider this a slap in the face to the millions of dead and tens of millions who suffered under German occupation.

Instead of showing "reality of violence", all this does is perpetrate a disgusting, divisive myth.
