Yes ... and that's the point. Nobody's saying he is suggesting Bettman be executed or that he's making an intentional reference to the Holocaust. Rather the whole point, or at least my point, is that he's a dimwit who made a terrible word choice that might understandably offend some, particularly when the target of said comment is Jewish.
On a related note, I'd like to extend my heartfelt thanks to gscarpenter for instructing myself and all others here on how to think. Without you, my friend, we'd be lost.
