Seriously, what Israel is doing today is no different from what the Nazis did before and at the beginning of World War II, extreme nationalism, illegal expansion, annexation of foreign territory claiming it historically belongs to them, propaganda using the latest technology, terrorizing neighbors, military at the center of society.
I mean, before starting with Zyclon-B, also the Nazis wanted the Jews to just move to Madagascar.
So I really just see a temporal offset.
In origins section, there were widespread European establishment plans for “solving the Jewish problem” 50 years before Hitler. Hitler’s demonization of Jews was based on WW1 German Zionist treason of Germany with US/UK lobbying to join war, and Communist movement figureheads. What was anti-Jewish sentiment in Europe based on in the 1870s?
It’s not uncommon for ethnic conflicts in general, but there’s a lot of extra dimensions in the Nazi case. The Jewish conspiracy that handed WWI to the Entante, and was also behind communism somehow, was always a centerpiece of their whole ideology. And obviously, Nazis didn’t just go after Jews. They make up about half of the Holocaust and are dwarfed by random war casualties, often civilian. If they won the plan was to kill a good share of all Slavs and bring back slavery for the rest.
There’s nobody more recent I’d say are on the same tier except maybe ISIS.
If you want to count official Hamas members as military opponents, civilian casualties in Gaza dwarf the ones of WWII in ratio.
Also, while I am not so knowledgeable about the Zionist mythos, I know that other territories and populations, which Israel already attacked repeatedly, are meant to be subjugated in the larger plan.
I guess we can all agree that getting to see how far they can resemble the nazis is not an itch we should scratch.
If you want to call Gaza an open air concentration camp, you can’t really use it for war casualties. If you compare Israeli operations in Syria or Iran with anything the Nazis did, they look pretty good again.
There’s plenty of less extreme analogies to use. Rwanda would be more defensible.
Religious Zionists want control of all historical Hebrew areas. What they think that is varies wildly within the movement. Subjugation of the entire Middle East or whole Muslim world is where things are going if Israel is never stopped, but nobody’s claiming a right to it at this point. Jordan or Sinai are more the ones you hear about as external ambitions.
