Many progressives compare Israel to South Africa - I'm one of them. Only a handful compare Israel to Nazi Germany, and I think that doing so is both stupid and offensive.
South Africa treated the blacks as second-class citizens in their own homeland. Israel refuses even to allow the Palestinians into most of their own homeland, or to found a state in what's left of it. Nazi Germany murdered most of the Jews in their own homelands.
I think it's fairly clear that the second is somewhat worse than the first, but nowhere near as bad as the third.
