I think we can agree, Jewish and non Jewish, it was far from a civilised nation at that time. Which is why the world, lost many souls to get rid of that uncivilised nation.

In this case, as said above, it affects mostly non Jews. So its not.
You have fears about Anti Semitism. So do do it. My fear is this, its being used as a tool, no sorry, overused as a tool by the state of Israel. The Holocaust should never be forgotten, taught in history in schools and remembered annually. However throwing that into this dispute, (and its thrown into nearly everything that the State of Israel disputes) is not relevant, and at the end of the day, will lead to Holocaust fatigue through the world, and dilute its existence. The very same applies to Anti Semitism, which at the the end of the day is just racism, Overuse and wrongly applied definitions of Anti Semitism, threatens the fight against racism generally.
And finally disapproval of actions of the state of Israel is not anti semitism.
