There doesn't need to be an equivalency between nationality and religion, it's simple demographics. When you make your country an ethno-religous state the lines between both get blurred and that's what Israel wants.
Would you agree more Germans than non-Germans supported the Holocaust outside of Germany? Would you agree more Jewish people than non-Jewish people support Zionism outside of Israel?
Irrelevant. I should not have to defend myself just because I'm Jewish. I'm not an Israeli. I was not born an Israeli and I have never lived in Israel.
And if someone asked an American whose ancestors came from Germany 2000 years ago whether or not they supported the Holocaust, that would also be wrong.
I mean, my ancestors were in Germany in the 1940s. They didn't make it past the 1940s, but they were there.
