"Israel is a democracy"
Okay, so was 1870s America, yet that didn't stop it from performing either Jim Crow segregation (as in the meme) or genocide of minorities (as would be more accurate).
It's not Auschwitz, but it definitely has strong parralels to Warsaw.
I think it would be more accurate to draw the line directly from the US genocide of Native American peoples to Israel's genocide of Palestinians, but regardless, the comparison with Nazi Germany is not inherently incorrect. The way it would be incorrect is if the meme was accusing Israel of, specifically, imitating Nazi Germany's uniquely industrialized style of genocide (which may make good rhetoric, but fails as a serious comparison) or some manner of comparison of the political structures of the states (which, other than sharing ethnonationalist values, are vastly different), neither of which it is doing.
