        No, not really. A) Zionism predates the Nazi party by quite a bit, and B) it’s pretty well documented that a large amount of European countries supported the establishment of Israel so that they could get rid of their Jewish populations, including England who controlled Palestine. The Nazis did not have a monopoly on antisemitism in Europe, I promise you that.

          Not to mention that Sykes Picot was the English and French carving up the MENA area with no regard as to who lived there, post WWI.
