I dunno, Barry. I realize that is is now proper liberal ideology to be anti-Israeli and to extend that attitude to all Jews. The conditions of the Palestinians are certainly deplorable, and I met a number of Israelis who had anti-Palestinian attitudes that I felt were deplorable.

However, there have been atrocities on both sides, and innocent people killed on both sides. They've been fighting a dirty war for generations, and both sides have blood on their hands.

I think, however, that it's a very low blow to compare the Israeli tactics to the Holocaust of World War II. It's a dirty war, but it's certainly not "ethnic cleansing" or systematic extermination. If you visited Israel, I think you'd find that there are two sides to the issue - and BOTH sides are wrong.
