good topic, let's hope for a grownup discussion
Never have time to read up on these things, but I'm also confused by these two.
Agree with your doubts, would only add to the first that I don't know how this bit of the definition sits with statements by some Israeli politicians that Israel should be a Jewish state. Does it mean non-Jewish citizens are somehow second class?
The second one is very sensitive considering the unprecedented human suffering of Jews inflicted by the Nazis. My only objection there would be purely rhetorical: it is theoretically and practically possible for victims to become perpetrators. And so why the state of Israel should be exempt from this (extreme) comparison?
