I mean it’s also comparable to the Nazis in that the ideologies are almost exactly the same (the whole the Chosen People TM must remove the subhumans for Lebensraum rhetoric specifically is so close it’s not even funny) even if the scales are different because Israel needs to do the absolute bare minimum to save face on the international stage.
I don’t like the comparison to the Holocaust for the same reasons you said, but comparing Israel to Nazis has a lot of merit.
Also foreign policy tends to be low on voters’ priority list, except when genocide or other large-scale crimes against humanity are involved. It’s easy to forget this because Israel has controlled public perception of the conflict for a long time, but Americans have a decently long history of being very much not okay with genocide (when they’re not the ones committing it). You’ll see this today in progressives dropping Biden over Gaza.
