"Being hijacked by occupation" is a nonsensical phrase. Is the occupation, however you define it, being conducted in the name of his Jewishness? Or in the name of the Holocaust? Seriously?
He did himself too much honor to claim that his Jewishness suffered an offense. He evoked memory of the Holocaust completely out of any context and sense of proportion.

He chose to express his professed principles pretty selectively. When he flaunts his Jewishness and ignores mine, I find it offensive.
