Further to my thinking about Nazi Germany vs Israel's violence. I have emboldened important similarities and starred my own commentary. Nazi Germany was a hyper-militarized state. Adolf Hitler rapidly transformed society, the economy, and politics to prepare the nation for aggressive territorial expansion and total war. Rapid Rearmament: Hitler openly defied the Treaty of Versailles by reintroducing conscription in 1935 and expanding the army from 100,000 men to over 1.4 million by the late 1930s. *[Jews in Palestine were armed by paramilitaries from 1909. Conscription was substantial in Germany, but only 2% as opposed to 100%.] Economy Reoriented for War: German industry was heavily subsidized and redirected to produce tanks, aircraft, warships, and munitions on a massive scale. *[When Israel is not producing goods of military purpose, it buys or gets gifts of them from other countries. Are there any substantial Israeli non-military exports?] Indoctrination of Youth: Organizations like the Hitler Youth trained boys physically and mentally for future military service, integrating military readiness into daily civilian life. *[Every Israeli is born to be a soldier. Full stop.] Paramilitary Integration: Organizations like the SA and SS acted as powerful, armed wings of the Nazi party, deeply embedding military command structures across the state. *[Although no Zionist opposes the IDF, there are groups that help them and, in turn, the IDF defends them. Operating from eastern sectors of Gaza under Israeli military control, small anti-Hamas militias (such as the Popular Forces and the Free Homeland Forces) have stepped up clandestine raids, targeted operations, and deep incursions into Hamas-held territory. These groups receive logistical backing, weapons, and coordination from the Israeli military to counter Hamas's local governance. Radical Israeli colonist groups have intensified outpost establishment and land takeovers, recording over 1,000 violent attacks affecting multiple Palestinian communities across the West Bank in 2026 alone. These extremist "settlers" look like a re-creation of the terrorist Irgun paramilitaries.]
