"When Gaza settler Yehuda Lumberg wrote his identification number on his arm in ink – a link to the identification number Nazis tattooed onto Jewish arms during the Holocaust – he drew condemnation from settler leaders, politicians and Holocaust experts.

A move earlier this year by a number of settlers to wear an orange star, similar to the yellow star Jews were forced to wear during World War II, was similarly condemned."

"In a renewed comparison of the Gaza pullout to the Holocaust, residents of the Gaza settlement bloc of Gush Katif are writing their identity card numbers on their arms to protest the closure of the Strip to non-resident Israelis.

Security forces are requiring Gaza settlers to display their ID cards before allowing them into the settlements.The trend began during a Wednesday night protest against the closure, when a woman who lives in Gush Katif refused to show her ID card to security forces at Kissufim crossing. Instead, she showed him her arm, on which she had written her identity number, in a simulation of the Nazi practice of branding numbers on the arms of concentration camp inmates. Security forces checked her identity and let her through the checkpoint."
