"Nazi" is more a colloquial term for "fascist who's actually been allowed to practice their cruel and senseless fascist policies", imo. Not someone saying that Israel is literally following the politics of one Adolf Hitler.

So yeah, in essence, these Israeli Jews are nazis, however ironic it sounds.

Nope, nazi is a specific term for a specific kind of fascist. Dont get me wrong, there are plenty of people who don't understand the words that they use but thats not the same things as them being correct.

So no, the Israeli government are not nazis and only a moron would think that they were.

The word "fascism" comes from Mussolini's ideas and was later used to denote any political system with similar ideas. I think the use of the word "nazism" has been generalized in the same way.

Nazi = National Socialist even though they weren’t socialists. Go figure.
