You know, I'm Jewish but I am not a Zionist. That said, the situations are not comparable and the comparison was deliberately inflammatory.

In relation to the ghettos (I'm not talking about concentration camps) they are the same thing. A segragated, inferior, slum set aside for people of a different religion and ethnicity to live in by the government of people of a different religion and ethnicity for political reasons. Sounds exactly the same as the ghettos in Krakow during WWII and in Russia in the early 20th century.
