Again, words don't matter. You knew the Nazis were serious decades before because they were literally physically assaulting Jews in the street in the 1920s and 30s. I can see it being reasonable to argue that West Bank Jewish settlers are assaulting Muslim Arab Palestinians, and I do think that's terrible. And those West Bank settlers are having far more children than truly peaceful Jewish Israelis, which does not bode well for Israel's future to continue as the multi-ethnic multi-religious diverse and tolerant society it is today. But those same West Bank Jewish settlers deliberately refuse to serve in the Israeli military. There may come a day when there are too few truly peaceful Jewish Israelis left, at which point the remaining more extremist Jews will be unable to fight effectively. So, by current trends, the problem itself contains a solution: Muslim Arabs, whether tolerant or extremist, will be able to push back against any future truly fascist Israeli government. But to call Israel "fascist" right now is an abuse of the word, but that's what you're consistently doing in this conversation: redefining words to mean whatever you want them to mean.
