I was actually comparing equivalent statements and ideals. I do not condemn any action because another once acted... I condemn actions because they are fundamentally unfair. Hitler performed actions that were both unfair and evil... that he performed them does not make the actions any more or less unfair/evil.
My point of comparison, was that Eilon is using the same unfair and evil ideals that Hitler advocated 'for the greater good'... but that unlike Hitler: she does not have an evil heart. I am comparing what she says to Hitler... not who she is to Hitler.
I apologize if you thought I meant to do otherwise... I thought myself quite clear upon this point (if you'll note the bold?).

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
