How does EU resolve a toy problem like Jews vs Nazis? Or, in a more realistic example, hiring an African-American/a woman/a gay person to work in a racist/misogynistic/homophobic work environment? Presumably it would fight the hypothetical and state that "if the Nazis were objectively rational they would not hate Jews"?
It is not necessary for Nazis hating Jews to be rational that there are reasons for hating Jews, only that the reasons for not hating Jews do not outweigh the reasons for hating Jews. But their reasons for hating Jews are either self-contradictory or in fact support not hating Jews when properly worked out.
