Disclaimer: this quiz is part of a research on perceptions of hate speech and is not meant to hurt anyone's sentiments. We do not seek to target any ethnicity or religion. Political ideologies however should be scrutinized and challenged. Zionism does not represent all Jews just like Nazism does not represent all Germans.
Following are a few statements. Some made by prominent Nazi Germans about Jews, others made by prominent Israeli and pro-Israeli Zionists about Palestinians. Can you guess which is which?
Since the quote in question could be about either Jews or Palestinians, the name of the group will be replaced with "[group]". There will be other similar context dependent replacements.
It often wasn’t the rhetoric that gave it away though. A lot of them had linguistic tags that felt very specific to either ideology and the time/place of each movement. I basically just read them in my head in different accents (Israeli and German) and felt which was which.
I think that’s why Winston Churchill caught me out at the end there.
Also there’s rhetorical clues like Israelis crying terrorism, vs Nazis claiming superiority.

Yeah you never hear a zionist talking about “the Palestinian”
