Over 50% of Germans equate IDF with Nazi army

The comparison with the wehrmacht is, of course, still rediculous, unless we start comparing all armies with the wehrmacht, and thus, degrade (further) the nazi atrocities.

As I wrote previously, similarity is not identity. Similiarty necessarily implies dissimilar facets. Both armies engaged in attrocities, massacres, collective punishment, and ethnic cleansing. One of them went further and engaged in genocide. There's also a matter of scale, since the largest massacre carried out by the Israelis (which was carried out by the Irgun & Lehi, who were not under the control of the Israeli government) was at most 250 people. Ultimately, despite what the Germans may think, the IDF comes out looking much better than the Wehrmacht, but there are similarities, and there is a basis for comparison.

THE US ARMY IS LIKE THE WEHRMACHT, AND SO IS EVERY ARMY THAT EVER EXISTED.

BOYSCOUTS AND THE SS ARE SIMILAR. NOTE, I DIDN'T SAY IDENTICAL BUT THERE IS A BASIS FOR COMPARISON.
