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.

"The shooting of Qassam rockets and other weapons must be stopped and the smuggling of new weapons to the Gaza Strip for re-arming, or even to improve the weapons of Hamas, must be stopped," Steinmeier said.
