Israeli=Nazi or Zionism=Judaism. Such premises are patently false.
The Israeli government agenda is in no way comparable to that of the Nazi party. Let that be quite clear.
Let it also be quite clear that Israel does treat Arabs in Jerusalem similarly to how German Jews were treated in Berlin in 1933. Then, they were not killed or murdered, but they were harassed, humiliated and increasingly oppressed and eventually disenfranchised and dispossessed. The comparison is obvious and we should not shy away from the facts.
But it is odious to say that Israeli= Nazi or that Zionism= Judaism, as it is misleading and completely untrue.
Please do not be afraid to acknowledge, and publicize, that which is being carried out in Jerusalem and the West Bank, in our name!

You have good points here. How can I disagree.
I do not know that Palestinians are made to wear signs on their clothes or bodies like Jews in 1933, but I have seen evidence of definite segregation and denial of certain rights to a minority.

Interesting .
Your initial disclaimer makes the rest of your argument harder to dismiss. While it still seems like an over reach- the Nazis were already demonstrating murderous intent at least towards the SA- I grant the similarities.,
A comparison of public opinion between the two countries/eras might be even more valid. With perhaps greater justification for the current Israelis since for all intents and purposes they are at war which has the usual consequence of demonizing the.enemy

Equivalently apt analogy. Hang gliding is not like falling off a twenty story building. But hang gliding does feel similar to the feeling of falling off a twenty story building for the first half way down. Indeed, there is no denying this.
