As I've been thinking about this today, reading Umberto Eco and Jason Stanley (How Fascism Works), I know that Netanyahu has not yet met the level of Hitler. He's not anti-semitic and is not about the killing of Jews. He is targeting people who are predominantly Muslim, though, and has so far killed, what, 22,000 Gazans in his war on Hamas. So would that mean that Netanyahu is targeting people because of their religion/genealogy since he is targeting Hamas and killing so many Muslims at the same time that he is moving closer to Fascism, if he's not already there? Would that be Hitlerian? Fascism usually has a component of white supremacy which, while  for most Fascists would include hatred of Jews, would mean hatred of black/brown people (and their religions)? Would Netanyahu not including Jewish people in his form of white supremacy, mean that he could not be classified as a Nazi?
