Jew Nazis the same as Green Nazis

Jew Michael Brull, a regular The Drum Unleashed contributor and Antony Loewenstein clone, notes a seeming paradox:
It must be stressed - Jewish organisations routinely declare that comparing Israel to Nazis is anti-Semitic. It must be stressed - Jewish organisations routinely declare that comparing Israel to Nazis is anti-Semitic. It turns out - describing critics of Israel as Nazis is fine. For example, ECAJ puts out yearly reports on anti-Semitism by the sober and serious Jeremy Jones. This one explains that “When Jews are called Nazis it not only renders the unique crimes of Hitler's regime common-place, but also uses Jews' past suffering as a means of abuse.... This slander is sometimes conscious anti-Semitism, sometimes thoughtless polemic and sometimes confused rhetoric, but regardless of its motivation it is generally recognised, after consideration, as anti-Semitism”.

Why doesn’t this apply to those who call Greens Nazis?
Can Brull really be that stupid?

Jews as a racial/cultural/religious group have been subjected to prejudice and persecution for literally thousands of years, this targeting reaching its zenith in the 1930s and 1940s in Nazi Germany. It is thus an unparalleled slur to accuse Jews of becoming what they and every right thinking person abhors: Nazis.

Now whereas likening Greens to Nazis is somewhat hyperbolic, it is highly unlikely that the Greens will ever be subject to the prejudice and persecution – and attempts to exterminate – suffered by Jews. Its truly amazing that Brull can't comprehend this.
