As in the days of Hitler's mistreatment of the innocent peoples of nations, Netanyahu's military is doing the same thing, all before the eyes of the world.  The world stood by then as it stands by now, allowing one nation to dominate and mistreat the people of another nation, a people with a very long history.
Israelis who decried the acts of the Nazis are now seen  doing what Hitler's military did, mistreat, rob, and kill innocent people, to make room for more illegal Israeli settlements, no doubt.

It was very wrong then, and it is still very wrong now, the only thing that changed is that the once oppressed is now the oppressor.
