There is no difference between Nazism and militant Zionism. The Zionism that was encouraged after WWII would not have been a problem if the people living in what was then Palestine -- the Palestinians -- had been taken into consideration and treated properly. Many of them were nomads, and they were given the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. If that had been honored, no one, including they, would have complained. I have said before that I was born Jewish, but I eventually gave it up because 1) there's no such thing as "god," so I don't have the entry criterion to identify with any religion, and the Jews are seemingly single-mindedly focused on the Holocaust and other remote (centuries and millennia ago) experiences of victimization. It is as if being Jewish means being a victim. A holiday called Passover is all about recognizing the mistreatment of other people, which the Jews then don't do (they don't recognize it or avoid doing it). The "Superbowl" of Jewish holidays -- Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement -- is their opportunity to recognize and try to correct their faults, which they also don't do.

The USA is not a democracy. It was envisioned to be one, but because of the peculiar campaigning ritual, that is protracted and requires extreme amounts of money, the USA is a plutocracy. The largest donors tell the candidates what they intend to be buying with their donations, and they expect to get it. Which they do. Even, as we have been seeing, when the government officials they buy are SCOTUS justices. They even write some of the bills their chattel pass for them. American government has little to do with the public/voters.

I should add that the Nazis talked about the "final solution" to the Jewish problem, and decades of Israelis have talked about the "final solution" to the Palestinian problem. And the solutions are not quite identical, but they're close.
