While one can fairly criticize the actions of the Israeli government and its leaders, there’s a big contrast to the Holocaust. There’s no Israeli ideology, policy, plan, or movement to exterminate the Palestinian people as with the Nazi party’s “Final Solution”.
Comparing Israel to Nazis plays on old antisemitic stereotypes about the Jewish people as demonic and uniquely evil.
