Given that calling Israel a nazi state has become not uncommon, I’d say we’ve pretty much forgotten what Nazis are/were and it’s now just a perjorative for evil people/governments.
Colloquial use of the word Nazi is pretty much synonymous with fascist, and I don’t really have a problem with that outside of - like - academic discourse and such.

Yeah, it’s not like Israel is demonizing a specific ethnic group and committing genocide.
There are a variety of genocidal, nationalist ideologies though. They’re not all Nazis.
I don’t think you can really separate Nazism from antisemitism. It’s a core part of the ideology. So I don’t find this label to be accurate.
Fascist, sure, since that’s a broader category that includes multiple iterations of the same basic approach to genocidal authoritarianism.
