An examination of the speech text reveals that the overall subject of Golans message was the concept of purity of the weapon, meaning that he was indeed criticizing phenomena inside the IDF when he made the Nazi Germany comparison.
Right .................

This BTW is satire ..................( way over shira's head I see

Why Would That General Compare Israel to 1930s Germany? Hmm...
What was going through that anti-Semite generals head when he compared the Chosen People to 1930s Europe? A few pointers.
B. Michael May 15, 2016
With all the festivals and days of sadness behind us, we can now return to the nagging question: What on earth was going through that anti-Semite generals head when he dared hint that we, the Chosen People, commit abominable acts like those perpetrated by the gentiles? Really, what's he talking about?
OK, lets start with the small details known to everyone. Maybe he was talking about:
1. The rising number of calls proclaiming, Death to the unchosen people!
2. The demands not to employ the unchosen ones, buy from them or rent or sell apartments to them, and drive them from the Holy Land (all sanctified by the Rabbinate and other kosher rabbis, naturally).
3. The growing thuggishness that labels every unchosen person a legitimate target for insults, abuse, assaults, vilification and, if possible, manslaughter.
4. A soccer team that swears its ranks will include only those of pure blood and religion, and whose fans most popular chant is Death to the unchosen ones.
5. A society that produces pogrom-like actions and lynch mobs, church and mosque arsonists, and plenty of thugs and scoundrels.
6. Elected officials encouraging extrajudicial killings on our streets.
7. A lawmaker (and his wife) openly demanding racial segregation between the pure and impure in maternity wards.
In short, no big deal - just routine matters that no longer excite folk. Consequently, we have no choice but to expand the list and include some other items that may have escaped the collective memory...
8. Spiritual leaders who publish books that determine when its acceptable to kill gentiles and their children. These religious leaders still tend their flocks.
9. A movement that defends the purity of the people and its blood, and persecutes lecherous unchosen ones who dare consort with daughters of the Chosen Ones in order to defile them. On his Facebook page, the head of this holy movement calls for the mass murder of the unchosen ones, knowing no harm will befall him.
10. Tens, if not hundreds or thousands, of businesses boasting of their employees purity.
11. The chief Sephardi peddler of religion who declared, Goyim were created solely to serve the Chosen People. His noble predecessors determined that only Slavic nations were created in order to serve the then-master race. Our religious pastor surpasses them: he deemed all nations our servants.
12. The education and culture ministers, who work tirelessly to synchronize education, culture, the media and arts, so everyone speaks in unison about one people, one state, one Torah and one viewpoint.
13. The brilliant legal sophistry that prohibits the unchosen ones from purchasing state lands. Only the Chosen People may do so.
14. The hundreds of communities that meticulously ensure the purity of their chosen population. The unchosen may not enter their gates lest they cause contamination by their very presence. All of this is legal.
15. The Absentee Property Law, which regulates the assets of absentees even when the absentees are clearly present and living a stones throw away. Only the laws of Chosen People have clauses relating to absent-present persons whose presence doesnt detract from their status as absentees.
16. The fact that the assets of the chosen ones remain theirs forever, even after thousands of years of abandonment that exceed any statute of limitations. In contrast, the assets of the unchosen even when theyre still holding them will be confiscated, stolen, expropriated and transferred to the Chosen People. Just as our magnanimous Lord in heaven decreed.
17. A society that controls millions of inferior people who lack civil and human rights, downtrodden by a mechanism called the Civil Administration and headed by a general.
18. A state that locks up a million and a half people in a gigantic enclosure, unsure whether to call it Pale of Settlement or the Gaza Ghetto.
19. A regime that imposes a grotesque legal system upon millions, which doesnt require evidence and shows no truth, justice or compassion. However, the system does have a court a contemptible theater whose main purpose is to give a legal and authorized appearance to a military dictatorship.
20. A justice minister who goes out of her way to crush the legal system, liberating the rulers at last from oppressive legal constraints.
21. A government that rules an occupied people, and sometimes its own subjects, according to emergency regulations that give it limitless authority for security reasons. (Damn, I wish I could remember where Ive heard of this trick being used before.)
22. A state unique among all the worlds democracies in which theres no legal way for a chosen person to marry an unchosen one.
23. A government that wholeheartedly believes in the Chosen Peoples right to continue expanding eastward. This space extends from Mesopotamia to Nuweiba.
24. A state that insists its the only democracy in the Middle East, whereas its actually the only military theocracy in the entire world.
25. A state that proves pop psychology is occasionally accurate in its diagnosis: an abused child can indeed become an abusive adult.
And thats pretty much it.
Is it because of these piffling details that Obersturmbannführer Golan remembered what he did? Odd. Very odd. Theres no comparison, clearly.
