No, there is a big difference. Hilter killed Jews en masse. The Israelis haven't committed genocide...they have, however, caused an exodus of half a million people.
I do wonder if there's a Israeli contingent that would secretly love it if they just gassed and burned all the Palestinians. Probably so.
However, anyone OUTSIDE of the situation can see that if Israel did that, every Muslim nation on Earth would declare war on them immediately. Israel's army, well-trained and equipped as it is, can't win that battle without nukes.
This is a bad scenario - and Israel has enough nukes to probably kill every person on Earth through nuclear winter.
Honestly, I will have no love for Israel unless they actually declare their own nuclear program. It's so ____ing sad to see them bitch about their enemies' nuclear programs when they secretly obtained 200 tons of yellowcake in Operation Plumbat....liars, man. And my country is too damn ignorant to know...most people in America don't know that, not only is it a nuclear power, it probably has somewhere between 150 and 300 MIRVed nuclear bombs at this point. They definitely don't know what MIRV does -if you want a rough analogy, consider a nuclear version of the cluster bombs Israel has been peppering Gaza with.
I sympathize with the nation of Israel over what was done to the Jews all in World War II. However, that doesn't give it the right to threaten to blow up the world. At least one Israeli political scientist has mentioned the possibility. I fully believe Israel's nuclear stockpile is possibly the biggest threat to the Earth, other than climate change maybe.
Israeli forces advance deep into Gaza urban areas

Military intelligence chief Amos Yadlin told the Israeli Cabinet Sunday that Hamas' ability to fight has been damaged, the group is suffering from ammunition shortages and has been hard hit by the deaths of senior militants. The military says troops have killed some 300 armed fighters since the ground offensive began and many more were killed in the air phase.
But Yadlin said Hamas "is not expected to raise a white flag."
In Cairo, Egypt's state-owned news agency reported progress in truce talks with Hamas, but provided no specifics. The Middle East News Agency quoted an unnamed Egyptian official as saying talks between the nation's intelligence chief, Omar Suleiman, and Hamas envoys were "positive."
Palestinian medical officials reported about 60 deaths on Sunday, including 17 who had died of wounds suffered on previous days. Most of those killed Sunday were noncombatants, medical officials said, including four members of one family killed when a tank shell hit their home near Gaza City, and a 10-year-old girl killed in a similar attack.
Palestinian witnesses said Israeli troops moved to within half a mile of Gaza City's southern neighborhoods, and within a quarter mile of the northern neighborhood of Sheikh Ajleen.
Firefights in Sheikh Ajleen erupted before dawn as Israeli forces advanced toward Gaza City, home to 400,000 people, Palestinian witnesses said. The battles were still in progress nearly a full day later, though tanks pulled back, with the Israelis in control of some buildings on the neighborhood's outskirts.
