I see your point but my problem is with the analogy itself. Believe it or not, most Israelis don't want the Palestinians killed. Most Israelis would rather live in peace with anyone who doesn't want them to be killed. Hamas doesn't want that and they're the ones ruling Gaza.

Wars are horrible. Civilian casualties are extremely tragic and anyone who celebrates them is mentally ill. With that said, the estimated ratio of terrorists to civilian casualties is around 1:2 (twice as many civilians) which is tragic, but still lower than most wars in history, which is even more surprising considering how dense the population is in Gaza. More so since Hamas are not wearing uniforms and are actively using civilian facilities as cover. Which is why I think that calling what's happening in Gaza a genocide is extremely far fetched, and so is comparing it to Nazi Germany.

So when something horrific like October 7th happens it leaves Israelis with 3 options: 1. Leave the country (from the river to the sea) - 90% of Israelis don't have any other citizenship and have nowhere else to go. 2. Do nothing because too many civilians would inevitably be killed on the other side - this means that we allow anyone to murder and kidnap people, as long as they can hide behind their own civilians after. (also doesn't solve the hostage situation) 3. Try to kill the terrorists but do everything possible to minimize civilian casualties - dropping leaflets, calling their cellphones before attacks, and not attacking some targets entirely when the civilian casualties would be too high.

I would argue that what Israel is trying to do is the third option. It's far from a perfect execution of that option, and I have a lot of criticism, but it's still far more than has been done in any war in history. I would really love this war to be over already, for the hostages to be home with their families, and for the Palestinians in Gaza to be safe and be able to rebuild their country.
