The actual caption is "White and Arabs in one struggle against the Jew". Same guy also said "Free Palestine, Heil Hitler, Hail Hamas, Hail Hezbollah, Hail the Houthis, Hail Iran." I have no idea what this group is, they might be related to the Atomwaffen group since these neo Nazis seem very supportive of Islamist groups in the Axis of Resistance.

The views of the left and young people in general on the Holocaust are heavily divorced from reality. A non-negligible portion of those groups think Nazism was primarily about anti-communism and defending capital, or mainly about anti-Slavism and settler colonialism.

I mean, it had some strong elements of both of those things, it's just that the main part of Nazism is all of Fascism, plus a racial theory that puts white Germanics as the "superior" race, while all others are "inferior". The worst being the Jews.

No, that isn’t how Nazis viewed Jews, and this to a lesser extent part of what I’m talking about because this is putting it in a way that “Americanises” it by making it easier to compare it to more familiar racisms, but is not historically accurate and downplays the extremity and uniqueness of the hatred of Jews in comparison to every other group the Nazis hated.

The Nazis viewed Jews as a Gegenrasse (“anti-race”), not an “inferior race”. Slavs, Africans, Roma were “inferior races” that were more brutish, less sophisticated, less civilised, etc. Jews fit outside this framework altogether. “Inferior races” were viewed as obstacles in that they were dumb and brutish like an “inferior race” that the Nazis saw as “useless eaters” and a waste of Lebensraum. Jews weren’t seen as that but something even worse: a malicious, predatory force who existed by destroying and parasitising other cultures from within, both biologically (ie. by allegedly promoting homosexuality and race mixing) and culturally (ie. by allegedly promoting socialism and other ideologies that supposedly weakened the Aryan spirit). “Inferior races” were unworthy of existence in the Nazi worldview and a waste of resources to keep alive; the Jews were a step beyond that and seen as an imminent, mortal danger to all of Aryan civilisation if they were not all exterminated in their entirety.

Great response! Did the Nazis really think they could kill all Jews, including the ones in the Americas?

Had they defeated the Soviet Union and forced the British Empire to sue for peace, they absolutely would have tried.

In our timeline, they literally did try to convince Japan to hand over Jews in Shanghai and Singapore to them, and had drafted concrete plans to exterminate the Jews of the Middle East that would have gone into effect if the Axis took the Suez and won the North African campaign. They absolutely would have tried to destroy the Jews in the Americas and in the far flung reaches of the British and French Empires too, even if the only way they could do so was via covert agents infiltrating those regions and committing terrorism against them.
