Woke is just a game of "find a way to call someone a nazi". Ironically, woke is also about supporting Palestine against the "nazi oppressor group" known as the jews.

That isn't ironic unless you are meaning the part to tie Nazis to "the Jews" as you put it.

From what i see even the most "woke" people aren't saying that. They are saying Israel or Zionists. Some of the largest pro ceasefire groups in the US are 100% Jewish organizations. The only real blocks of people conflating Zionists with "the Jews" are US politicians, AIPAC, and Israeli politicians... And I guess Zionists who keep trying to misdirect to the idea that antizionism = antisemitism.

Sure, I think Nethanyahoo (intentional misspelling) and zionism are both doing the world a disservice, but make no mistake that the people comparing anything Israel-related to nazis are intentionally using the term of the organisation that tried to TRULY genocide them because it is ridiculous and hurtful. The same people also like to claim that Israel is committing "genocide". Sure, 1% of Gaza is a lot and too much, but it's not like Gaza is the only place with muslim arabs. There's hundreds of millions more. There's even millions living peacefully in Israel. Germany killed 40% of ALL jews worldwide. That was an attempt at genocide.

Saying that it isn't on the same level as the worst example doesn't mean that this also isn't genocide. The Armenian genocide was real, etc. It's also weird to say it's not really that bad because Arabs exist or Muslims exist in other places when we are talking about Palestinians. At the very least they are explicitly trying to do an ethnic cleansing by their own words.

If the power dynamics were reversed in the region, you would see what a genocide actually is. I see no convincing evidence that Israel is trying to kill as many Palestinians as they can. Mostly because they could kill them all if they wanted to. Do some people enlisted in the IDF have a genocidal motivation? Probably. Should they be charged for war crimes if acting on it? Yes.
