    You can criticize Israel’s policies without using Nazi comparisons just fine. The only thing Nazi comparisons do is incite and make understanding impossible. See Godwin’s law.

    In the case of Israel it’s also extremely bad taste and shows you’re not interested in serious discussion, only hatemongering.

      If you’re committing a genocide it’s only fair that people compare you with other people who commited genocide. Like the nazis.

      And of course it hurts. Because Israel hates to be reminded that they are becoming the kind of people that 80 years ago tried to exterminate them.

      Stop doing nazi things if you don’t want to be called a nazi. It’s as simple as that.

        OP had to pull their definition from a page that didn’t exist until after the October 7th attack in order to find a source that calls comparing State policies to another State’s policies racism.
