That particular Hitler analogy is cliche

In terms of ideology, comparing Hamas or Fatah to Nazism is correct.

However, in terms of historical military analogies, the comparison is cliche and useless. Neither organization has the economy, the organization, or any of a half dozen other things they would need to field a million man army, air force, etc, or to make an existential military or economic threat against anyone.
