Depending on their political perspective, some critics have compared this to the policies followed by the Nazis in Europe, the French in Algeria and the U.S. in Viet Nam. Though the Israelis have neither killed nor left Arabs homeless in the punitive actions, their decision to adopt the practice brought condemnation from the United Nations General Assembly's Social Committee.
