In spite of the tendency of too many people to label and idealize German Nazis as some sort of superhuman villains never again to be equaled on earth, evidenced by this sort of ad hominem comment replying to an honest, good-faith attempt to discuss the topic at hand by Armagednoutahere...:

(3) you think that making obviously absurd, outrageous Nazi comparisons is a super-clever way to score points when discussing Israel with Jews. I'm leaning toward (3), so go to hell, asshole.

...it seems only too clear to me that this could easily be a Nazi speaking back in 1939:

perhaps i think too highly of my own people (and some of you don't even believe there IS such a thing, or if there is, it's a negative) but we are in a really tight situation here - global warming, mass extinctions etc. or at least that's what i believe. so we need all the IQ we can get - and you don't get that from a people whose average is 80 IQ.

David then reduces the Holocaust victims to a measure of their supposed IQs, and tries to explain Arab nations' mistreatment of Jews as petty envy:

unfortunately half of all the 3+SD IQ's were killed by hitler. we could have used those, now dead, einsteins.

i think it must be spiteful envy, why else?

This self-righteous, exceedingly arrogant, "superior" self-classification of one's people (and therefore oneself) as apart, but most importantly allegedly above - in this case by measure of "IQ" - the run-of-the-mill rabble of the rest of the world, is a mirror image of the 'superior breeding' storyline used to justify and prop up the Nazi war machine in WWII. How horribly tragic for all the victims of that savage war machine, including for the Jewish victims of immeasurable worth - because multi-talented fellow human beings, a worth far, far beyond any mere IQ measurement - murdered as a result of a depraved and sickly-warped Nazi assessment of humanity. A depraved and inhumane assessment by which Jews were classified as somehow "inferior" and thus a self-justified focus of hatred and abuse for Germans who claimed a similarly-arrogant, warped, "superior" self-classification.

Seeing such a comment on a site on which I also happen to comment, I have to condemn such racism, whether typed by a German, an Israeli or an American. It is an appalling and frightening sentiment to see openly expressed, and is obviously so ingrained a self-justification and bias as to be virtually impossible to dislodge with reason. How can Israelis, and Americans blind to Israel's faults, not see and understand these awful parallels with the Nazi mindset, and work to mitigate them, in the name of those never given the chance to simply live their lives in peace?

Think as highly as you will of your people, self-segregate to your heart's content, but take great care that in doing so, whether for self-preservation or simply in pursuit of self-confidence and vain pride, you actually do, as you claim, "live and let live." A high IQ may lead to dreadful deficits in other departments of life, just as a low IQ may lead to great advantages in those same areas. How small-minded, warped and inhumane of any one or any "people" to believe otherwise, and especially to use such a belief system to excuse or justify abusive treatment of a "people" unbelievably asserted to be of lesser worth when it comes to solving humanity's current "global warming" crisis, due to a 'race-based' allegedly uniformly-lower measurement of IQ.
