even they would believe Jews had a greater claim to persecution than if the US military were to show up and started doing genocide purportedly because Jesus needs Christians in control of the Holy Land.

That is not the comparison I am making. The point I am trying to make is that a religion that does not welcome you as a believer is going to be more concerning to a person than a religion that does. A Houthi cannot become a Jew (for the most part). A Palestinian Muslim, even if their ancestors were Jewish 1000 years ago cannot become a Jew again (at least according to the way Israel has been conducting itself). And for those reason, it makes sense that Judaism itself is viewed with concern by the Houthis.

edit: To further explain this point at least how I imagine most people in the region would at least think about. When Islam came to that land, they converted the local community to Islam. But when these new people come in, they want to kill everyone? Why don't they just convert the locals again? For most people, the explanation would be Judaism as a religion.

I never said ISIS represents all of Islam, my point is that Israel is like ISIS but worse because at least ISIS offers the option of conversion (which is because unlike Judaism, Islam gives that as an option). For people who hate both ISIS and Israel, the conclusion that Israel is worse is quite clear and a big part of that is the way the religion conducts itself when conducting conquest. That the natives cannot be integrated into your society and must be "removed".

If Christians were the ones in Israel, things would still be very terrible for the Palestinians because of the colonial nature (probably more similar to South Africa which had apartheid but less genocide of the natives) but it wouldn't be as terrible as it is now with Israel trying to exterminate the entire strip.

Let's put it this way.

A lot of Palestinians actually have Jewish heritage, they just however converted to Islam (I believe the chain was Jewish people, something else than Islam) and that's a general feature for most religions that have this sort of holy war mentality. Even ISIS, the big bogeyman of the West offered conversion as an alternative to displacement with at least some Christians taking up the offer.

Judaism however, is behaving like Islam, but they believe in this chosen people malarky and thus, are just killing Palestinians even though a large number of Palestinians have Jewish heritage so realistically, Israel is killing their own kin who should be capable of just becoming Jewish again.

To me anyway, with the way Israel is conducting themselves, their religion is just ethnic cleansing with the worst traits of religions that proselytize and holy war combined with the worst traits of religions that believe their people are special in some way.

If Israel at the very least offered conversion to the Palestinians, I believe a lot of the violence would have already been resolved by now but they don't and while the truth is that it is because Israel is a white supremacy state, they use their religion as a cover so most people blame that for the current atrocities.
