There are serious concerns regarding potential genocide, and Netanyahu has always been a problematic, right-wing leader that flirts with authoritarianism. I would agree with you on that front, and it's perfectly fine to draw parallels to other authoritarian regimes.
However, it shouldn't take much to realize to that accusing a Jewish nation of being actual Nazis is not only insensitive, it's antisemitic.
We can criticize Israel for very real issues. There is absolutely no reason to invent new ones.
I believe antisemitism is real and is an issue. I don't believe in lying because it could be seen as antisemitism.
They are acting like Nazis, I'm not giving them a pass because they were the victims of nazis.that is why the comparison is so noteworthy.
It is likely that the generational trauma associated with their plight has caused this over reaction to become an aggressor with no value for human life, putting an entire people in to enclosed camps with little supplies. But that is where we are and I won't do the Palestinians the injustice of arguing against the facts for fear of upsetting the Nazis.
