Germany certainly doesn't have a monopoly on modern-era fascism, as Israel's treatment of Palestinians over the last few decades proves.

I'm with you, but really it isn't exactly the fault of the Jews that after WWII the UN decided to give them a homeland right in the middle of Arab territories. That was insanity from the get go. Israel should have been set up in Germany where that Holocaust happened, but the US and USSR were to busy carving the conquered nation up for their own political purposes.
That doesn't justify the actions of the right wing thugs in power in Israel, nor does the constant influx into their cities of Palestine suicide bombers for decades now. However, the comparison just doesn't measure up - there weren't jewish suicide bombers in Germany, those people were
all victims.
