Well, my feedback is, poor guy, he's just wrong, and worse, his status as a Holocaust survivor is being mercilessly exploited for political gain.

Well, my feedback is, poor guy, he's just wrong, and worse, his status as a Holocaust survivor is being mercilessly exploited for political gain. Hamas supporters love to find anti-Israel Jewish people and tout their Identity as Jews as a form of authority or legitimacy for their viewpoints. I don't care one bit about that. I care about what can be observed, what is empirically true. And what is demonstrable is that Hamas seeks the total destruction of Israel and death to the Jewish people (them first, all the other infidels later). They say so explicitly, not only in their charter, but in words spoken aloud by Hamas leaders post Oct 7. Apparently this Holocaust survivor is not aware of that (nor are you, it seems). That or he is under the weird impression that the protestors are equally against the Israeli government AND Hamas. Now, that may be the case among a very small minority, but that is definitely not what is observable as the main message of the public protests worldwide. It's all about the evil 'oppressor' Israel and the noble 'resistance' of their victims. "From the river to the sea" is a clear enough statement of genocidal intent.
As for the charge of Jewish people using the Holocaust as 'cover' for their Zionist evil doings, that is just patently ridiculous. That's not to say there is no one who takes advantage of their victimhood, people in general will sometimes do that (like many Palestinians and Hamas!). It is to say that properly considered, almost nothing could be more rational for the Jewish people, given all the facts of history going back two millennia, to fear the rise of forces in the world that would like so see them wiped from the Earth. That those forces exist and are currently in resurgence is an undeniable fact easily seen by any honest observer. Comparisons with Nazi Germany are entirely valid, and it is even true that Hitler supported the genocidal aims of the Grand Mufti, early Muslim Brotherhood leader and forerunner of Hamas (not 'created' by Netenyahu, as you claim, but unfortunately used by him, as you point out, for political purposes). So that's my feedback.
