"... in reviewing German and Austrian history from the 1930's; how many rocket attacks did 'the Jews' launch against the German citizenry?"
According to pro-Israelers, that doesn't matter. The point-- they would make-- is that IF they had rockets Jews COULD have harmed Germany.
Also, since "proportionality" doesn't matter, it was entirely appropriate for Germans to collectively punish Jews during Kristollnacht after 1 Jew shot 1 German official.
Noting the similarities between Zionism and Nazis only "undermines" pro-Israelis who are used to shaming critics into silence.
Similarly, the days when calling someone an antisemite for criticizing Israel silenced them are over. In fact, it might soon become a badge of honor to be called an "anti-sem" since everyone knows its only tossed out when the truth about Israel is being told.
