The importance of the campaign to boycott Israel

While the campaign to boycott the Zionist entity gathers momentum, I have noticed that some Zionists are attempting to discredit the campaign by claiming tha there are similarities between this boycott  campaign and the Nazi boycott of Jews in the 1930s. As the following table makes clear there is absolutely no basis for arguing that these boycott campaigns are in any way similar.

	Nazi boycott	Anti-Israel boycott
What was/is the ultimate objective	Physical destruction of the entire Jewish race	Physical destruction of the entire Jewish state
What was/is it based on	The singling out and demonization of Jews  based on a set of complete lies (propagated by anti-Semitic bigots) about the political, economic, social and religious behaviour of Jews	The singling out and demonization of the Jewish state based on a set of complete lies (propagated by anti-Semitic bigots) about political, economic, social and religious behaviour of the Jewish state
What was/must be ignored and covered up at all costs to maintain the momentum	The genuine atrocities committed by the Nazis and their proxies against the Jews	The genuine atrocities committed by the Arab states and their terrorist proxies against the Jews
Who was/is the real brains behind it	Hard core anti-semites, national socialists, and politically active academics and lawyers	Hard core anti-semites, socialists, and politically active academics and lawyers

Tactics: Lawfare	Special Nazi laws introduced to both outlaw Jewish-owned businesses and criminalise attempts by anybody else to work with them	Special EU and Arab laws introduced to outlaw Jewish-owned Israeli businesses and criminalise attempts by anybody else work with them
Tactics: Secondary boycott	Non-Jews visiting Jewish houses and businesses were publicly vilified and threatened to be boycotted themselves if they did not cease their interaction with Jews	Non-Jews visiting the Jewish state and doing business with it are publicly vilified and threatened to be boycotted themselves if they do not cease their interaction with the Jewish state
Ultimately who other than Jews was/is affected	Rest of the world suffered from loss of scientific and cultural contribution from Jews	Rest of the world suffers from loss of scientific and cultural contribution from Jews
What was/will be the ultimate outcome of the boycott	Millions of Jews died, but it did not help the Nazis in any way at all	Millions of Jews may die, but it will not help the Palestinians in any way at all
