On a very basic level, it is also a swipe to imply the Jews (pre-Israelis) were like Nazis. It is also inaccurate to say that "Jewish forces expelled, or intimidated into flight, an estimated 750,000 Palestinians." While the number is probably in the correct ballpark, the Jews weren't the only ones 'expelling' and intimidating Palestinians into flight. Also, while Jews who were victims of the Holocaust are being compensated, they aren't getting their homes/land, ancestral or otherwise, back. The "catastrophe" is that Israel (i.e. the Jews) was not crushed as promised. Therefore, they don't have just the Israelis to blame for that fact.
