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.

Late Sunday, dense plumes of smoke from explosions rose over Gaza City and heavy gunfire was heard just south of the city.
International aid groups say Israel must do more to ensure the safety of civilians. They note that civilians are in many cases unable to flee to safe places in Gaza, and are essentially trapped because the territory's exits are closed.
The U.N. agency in charge of Palestinian refugees has resumed operations after suspending them because of Israeli attacks on its convoys. U.N. aid vehicles were moving around Gaza on Sunday and U.N. workers tended to about 30,000 people in shelters, but aid officials warned that the dire security situation made it impossible to operate at full capacity.
"This is a very small fraction of what we normally do in the Gaza Strip," said Filippo Grandi of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency. "Things might get worse."
Israel has warned Gaza residents of a wider offensive. On Sunday, it dropped leaflets urging Gaza residents to report the whereabouts of Hamas fighters, providing a phone number to call.
Israel's chief military spokesman, Brig. Gen. Avi Benayahu, said the army has sent more reserve units into the Gaza Strip.
