The Allies of Hamas have been comparing the Israeli actions in Gaza to the Nazis. If they are going to compare the conflict to Nazi Germany, It would be relevant to compare BOTH party’s actions to the Nazi.
Number of Jews in Poland, 1939: 3 million
Number of Palestinians in Gaza 2009: 1.2 million
Number of Jews still alive in Poland at end of the Holocaust: 50,000
Number of Palestinians left alive in Gaza after the 2009 war: 1,999,000
Number of Jewish Civilians deliberately killed by Nazis and their Allies: 6,000,000
Number of Palestinian Civilians deliberately killed by Israel: 0
Number of Jews armed during most of the Holocaust: 0
Number of Hamas soldiers in Gaza: About 20,000
Number of rockets fired at Israel by Hamas: 4000
Number of rockets fired by Jews at Germany: 0
Number of terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians by Hamas: hundreds
Number of terrorist attacks on Jewish civilians by the Nazis: hundreds
Number of armed attacks of any kind by Jews on German civilians: 0
Nazi “humanitarian supplies ” for Jews: starvation diet coupled with slave labor
Israeli humanitarian supplies for Gaza: regular shipments even when Hamas attacking Israel, no one actually in Gaza even claims to be hungry; treatment of Palestinians in Israeli hospitals
Nazi treatment of Jews: According to a Gestapo official in Warsaw: “It is permissible to take from a Jew everything….Whoever wishes may kill a Jew, and our law will not punish him for it.” (Jan Karski report, 1942)
Hamas treatment of Jews: It is permissible to take from a Jew everything. Whoever wishes may kill a Jew, and our law will not punish him for it.
Israeli treatment of Palestinians: Soldiers subject to strict discipline and code of behavior for whose violation soldiers are court-martialed and sent to prison.
Nazi soldiers hide among German civilians to incur civilian casualties?: No
Hamas soldiers hide among Palestinian civilians to incur civilian casualties?: Yes
Ideology of Nazis Toward Jews: All Jews in the World Should be Exterminated
Ideology of Israel toward Palestinians: Have your own state and just leave us alone
Ideology of Hamas toward Israelis and Jews: Starting with all Jews in Israel should be exterminated, Hamas is increasingly extending that to all Jews in the world.
Nazi goal: World Conquest
Israel’s goal: A small democratic state
Hamas and Islamist goal: World conquest
A common Western attitude toward Nazi Germany prior to 1939: The Germans have suffered a lot and have legitimate grievances. If we appease them they will leave us alone. They are only after the Jews and what do we care about them?
A common Western attitude toward Hamas in 2009: The Palestinians have suffered a lot and have legitimate grievances. If we appease them they will leave us alone. Hamas, Iran, and other radical Islamists are only after the Jews and what do we care about them?

I just think war is something inevitable, there will always be war between countries or people, its in our genes.
You have every right to defend the actions of your country or justify it, however there are some inaccuracies which reduce the impact of your arguements (all over the website, but this looks like a collection…)
Number of Palestinian Civilians deliberately killed by Israel: 0
ORLY!!
Number of Jews armed during most of the Holocaust: 0

If you don't believe Wikipedia, i quoted it to report all the links that support the article. You are deliberately (or maybe not) ignoring the thousands of heroes who physically fought the Third Reich Army..
Number of rockets fired by Jews at Germany: 0
"Rockets" were developed sometimes during the world war and was not yet available to the resistance folks – they used grenades and bombs instead
Nazi “humanitarian supplies ” for Jews: starvation diet coupled with slave labor
Ever heard of Schindler (yes, from the movie). Moreover, insinuating every German as a Nazi is uncalled for…

I have found that accusations tend to reveal more about the accuser than the accused.
