Sharon, to state that Netanyahu's coalition is doing the same to residents of Gaza as the Hitler regime did to European Jews in is World War 2 is simply wrong.
1) European Jews never threatened anyone while Hamas has vowed to destroy Israel and kill all Jews, and acted on that vow on Oct 7.
2) jews in Europe did not have weapons, did not throw grenades into Christian neighborhoods, and did not invite any retaliation that would hurt their neighbors. On the other hand, Hamas has appropriated billions in donations to build tunnels and to build an arsenal, which they lobbed into Israeli cities, weekly, since 2006. Further, Hamas lobbed those rockets from the grounds of apartments, schools and mosques, and fought from spots within crowded neighborhoods. The deaths of their fellow Arabs was the goal, not just the consequence.
3) Hitler's approach to Jews was to enslave them to support Germany's war effort, keeping them under conditions that would allow them to live for 3-4 months under starvation, accidents, or torture took their lives. That's for the ones that weren't first sent to the gas chambers. Israel has not enslaved Arabs from Gaza. Instead, they employed over 18,000 for daily work in Isrseli territory, who were paid fair wages for their work. Hamas's actions caused that source of income to end, killing some of them on Oct 7.
4) German goals included extermination of all Jews. Hamas's goal is the same. Isrsel's goal is to defang Hamas so it stops being a threat to its citizens, not to kill all Arabs.
Has Israel gone too far? As a Jewish Israeli American, I say yes. But I also know that the war in Gaza is just that, a war. Israel might have gone too far, but it is justified in going after Hamas. Or would you recommend that they allow Hamas to restock and continue the near-weekly attacks on civilian areas in Israel like it has since 2006?
If I was your neighbor and kept shooting into your property, would you let me keep doing it? Sure, you could call the police, but who could Israel call?
