"4 Comparing contemporary Israeli policies to those of the Nazis "
The problem with this one id that this accusation has been made by high ranking Israelis, including an Israeli general and several ex directors of Mossad Security Service
There clauses are political
Nothing to do with persecuting Jews - just political

Can I just demonstrate how ridiculious this new definition is

"Comparing contemporary Israeli policies to those of the Nazis"
What if the Iraeli regime began acting like Nazis?

What if their soldiers started to humiliate Pordinary people at CHECKPOINTS ?
What if Israelis began to drive Arab out of their HOMES to make room for people of the right religion ?
What if they began to DRIVE PALESTINIANS OFF LAND to make room for Jewish farmers ?
What if Israeli trops beganINDISCRIMINATELY KILLING DEMONSTRATORS, INCLUDING CHILDREN
What if they began DISPOSESSIING PEOPLE AND FORCING THEM INT SUBHUMAN LAND ?
What if people were treated as SECOND CLASS CITZENS BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE ?
What if LARGE NUMBERS OF THE POPULATION DEMAND THE REMOVAL OF NON-JEWS ?

All this is hypothetical of course - but what if it started to happen?
Would it still be wrong to describe them as acting like Nazis?
This definition is utter nonsense - to ploitcise persecution in support of Government policy is the act of a fascist state
