But that doesn't make the analogy accurate. There is no historical parallel between the Holocaust and the war in Gaza. The only commonality is Jews.
Are you actually arguing that not calling Israeli Nazis is "giving them carte-blanche"? The only way to express opposition to a policy is to compare it to the Holocaust? Nothing matters if it's not the Holocaust? Not Iraq, not Vietnam, all of that was okay because it wasn't the Holocaust?
