Whether they were a threat or not is an objective fact. Jews were not a
threat (unless perhaps one happens to live in Eretz Israel). Nazis were a
threat. Anyone who says otherwise does not merely have different moral
preferences. He is deluded or lying.
In particular jews were not a threat to germans and the aryan race, whereas
nazis really were a threat to everyone.
That the nazis tended to murder anyone including their fellow nazis, and
commies tended to murder anyone including their fellow commies, is an
objective fact, capable of being true or false.
That normal people do not tend to murder anyone, but only those that really
do threaten them, is also an objective fact capable of being true or
false. From such objective facts, we can determine that the nazis really
were objectively evil.
It is certainly true that many jews intended and continue to intend to
steal the promised land from those currently occupying it, but the nazis
intended to steal the whole world, and enslave everyone in it, whereas
zionist jews merely intend that the current inhabitants of places near
Israel shall go a few hundred miles further away. Those oppressed by the
nazis were kept against their will and prevented from fleeing. Those
oppressed by Israel refuse to leave, despite the fact that most jewish
Israelis would very much like them to go away.
