The more cynical motivation is that they wish another true genocide.

Do these -- pro-Hitler, Holocaust cheerers, Holocaust deniers, neo-Nazis -- accuse Israel with that (false) "genocide?"
- Yes, these groups aggressively accuse Israel of "genocide." For extremists like neo-Nazis, pro-Hitler activists, and Holocaust deniers, this is a calculated ideological strategy known as Holocaust inversion.
By flipping the moral roles—accusing the Jewish state of behaving like Nazis against Palestinians—they attempt to psychologically minimize or shift the blame for their own antisemitism.
1. "Even the score" and relativize history:By falsely claiming Israel is committing genocide, these groups attempt to lessen the unique historical weight of the Holocaust. The underlying rhetoric is that "Jews have their own genocide committers, just as we [the Nazis] had ours," which helps legitimize their extremist beliefs and normalize fascism.
2. Attack Israel's legitimacy:Extremist hate groups fundamentally oppose the existence of a Jewish state. According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Holocaust deniers use this false genocide narrative as an active tool to delegitimize Israel, linking the event to fabricated conspiracies about Jewish power and world control.
3. Shift moral responsibility:The American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League detail how weaponizing the word "genocide" allows anti-Jewish extremists to shift the blame for antisemitism. By accusing the very victims of the Shoah of carrying out the "crime of crimes," these groups attempt to invert history and place the responsibility for human rights abuses squarely on the Jewish people.
