First, your use of the word "Zionist" as a prejoritive is offensive. Second, your comparison of Israel with Nazi Germany is not only off base, and without any legitimate basis, but it is even more offensive.

Israel is not attempting, nor has it ever attempted to wipe out Palestinians. The current conflict is low intensity. It would have to be dramatically increased to even present the possibility of genocide.

But put yourself in Israel's shoes. The groups that they are fighting, like Hezbolah and Islamic Jihad, won't stop fighting. Israel has said that they will stop when these radical Palestinian groups stop. The radical Palestinian groups have said that they will stop when Israel ceases to exist, and when everyone in Israel + Palestine lives under a Taliban like rule.

It is Hezbolah and Islamic Jihad who actually want Genocide. Under these conditions, Israel is actually very restrained.
