In January the Chief Rabbi said that he feared that a "tsunami" of
antisemitism was threatening to engulf parts of the world. Over-blown
analogies detract from rather than illustrate a message and this is
frequently true of discussions about anti-semitism and the
Palestine-Israel conflict.
Tony Lerman, the director of the Institute for Jewish Policy Research
criticised the analogy, arguing that it exaggerated contemporary
anti-semitism; 230,000 people died in a matter of minutes, following
the 2004 event that brought the term "tsunami" into our everyday
language.
