Nobody took the Nazis seriously until it was too late....
Funny you mention that, Hitler didn't have the power to wipe out every jew in the world, but he made a big effort to exterminate all the jews in Germany and it's allied states but ultimately failed to do so.
In the last 12 months 100,000 coptic christians have fled Egypt because the nice muslims are beating them up, murdering them, burning down their homes, businesses and churches.
It is weird how that sort of thing seems to happen so often in the muslim world isn't it?
It took the nazi's 12 years to go from 600,000 jews to 14,000 in Germany (1933-1945) so technically, the muslim brotherhood are more efficient at religious cleansing than the nazi's were. There are a grand total of zero churches In Saudi Arabia, in case you were wondering, but they have had a bit longer to bit fair.
So actually, the muslim world does have the ability to persecute and eradicate all non-muslims in their countries and do so with a zeal and passion.
Al-Shabaab are doing a good job in Somalia.
Omar Al-Bashir has been taking care of business in Sudan (Darfur anyone? )
Boko Haram are doing Allah proud in Nigeria.
Etc
Etc
Etc
The comparison of islamists to the Nazi's is a reasonable one given that islamists the world over have been murdering their way through every non-muslim they can find.
You can come on out now Hyperlexian and tell me how racist I am for picking on the poor little muslims how have never dreamed of ever hurting anyone because they are so happy to exist in a peaceful multicultural happy clappy world and how they have great women's rights.
But that's not what we're talking about. We are talking about whether Hamas has the ability to wipe out Jews in other countries, specifically Israel. Obviously they do not.
Personally, I don't think they would press a button marked "Kill Every Jew in the World". They know that some of the most passionate defenders of the Palestinian cause are Jews. Would they press a button marked "Kill Every Jew in Israel"? Again, I don't think so. They know that orthodox movements within Israel are fighting for the Palestinians. Would they press a button marked "Kill Every Jew Who Is Setting Up Illegal Settlements"? Probably.
You need to understand that when you are powerless, all you have is talk. So you tend to talk big.
The Nazis didn't begin extermination until after '42, so they did that in less than 3 years. And they got far more than 600 thousand. They wiped out Jewish populations all across Europe - by killing all of them, not by rioting or chasing them off. It's simply not comparable.
Before extermination they tried a policy of containment and emigration (Nazi Germany was the first state to sponsor Jewish settlement in Palestine, under the Haavara Agreement). But when they conquered Poland they acquired care of a Jewish population far too large for those policies to work, especially when contagion broke out in crowded conditions - so they decided to dispose of them. All. Just as they had previously attempted to do with other minorities, such as the handicapped. We don't want it around here, keep it somewhere else, and if it's a bother, kill it, so we don't have to pay to support it - this was their approach.
Anders Breivik was and is exactly what he despised about Islam. Some people violently smash mirrors when they see a reflection.
And yes, I think the world's leaders are underestimating the danger of Islam. In their desire not to offend anyone's religion, they are allowing the spread of a philosophy that advocates not only racism, but also murder and war.
Actually I think the Jewish people wanted to get out of Europe because of how Europeans reminded them of the Holocaust.
Also I think they were right to get out of Europe, because there is a rise of blatent anti-sematism all over again.
Israeli advocates have managed to define the word "antisemitism" out of existence. It's like the story of the boy who cried wolf. Antisemitism does exist, but now everybody instinctively assumes that accusations of antisemitism should not be taken seriously.

Considering there was an attempt to wipe them out by the Nazis and that there are still quite a few Holocaust Survivors that are still alive, and many in the Israeli government over the years were Holocaust survivors, I think that comparing them to the boy that cried wolf is rather stupid.
In the story the boy whom cried wolf, the boy was merely trying to get attention. The Israelis on the otherhand are reacting the way they react because they honestly believe that someone is going to try to wipe them out, and quite frankly it isn't simple paranoia like the left wants people to believe.

The anti-semitism in Eastern Europe is real and rising but there are not many jews in Eastern Europe, those that survived the Nazi's got taken by the communists, those that survived the communists left for Israel in the 1990's.
The anti semitism in Western Europe is coming from islamists, who are pissing just about everyone off. The fascists in Western Europe love the jews and hate muslims justified by the 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' line of reasoning.
I have often heard defenders of Israeli policy say something like this:
This is ludicrous. Nobody has time to fairly dole out condemnation to every country in the world. They pick a cause (for whatever reason) and dedicate their time to worrying about their chosen cause.
This is BS.
Do we make the same mistake with Israelis? Democrats? Republicans? Populists? Radical christians?
I think the premise is non-sensical. Should the Nazis winning mean that we should take everyone seriously? How about no?

I wonder why most people fail to see the fact that Islamic terrorism is very much a form of organized crime. What does these people really want? MONEY and Power. They often recruit the sons of wealthy arab families to become "martyrs for Islam" while these men give away their inheritance and "worldly possessions" to terror chiefs. In short, they are killed before they realize they've been cheated out of their money.
The muslim brotherhood should really be called the Egyptian Mafia. They blackmail Copts by threatening to kill them and blow up their churches if they don't pay large sums of protection money. Hamas is basically and extortion racket that uses terrorism as a way to get their hands on the money flowing into Israel. That is why they continually sabotage the peace process. If last peace took effect, they'd have no way to get dough.

HELL NO
They need the jews, and especially the Israeli's, as an enemy to terrorize as a means of extortion.
I said it before, and I'll say it again: HAMAS IS AN EXTORTION RACKET.
Lockheed-Martin & co. play the same racket too.
Some of them are even selling arms to both sides ...
