As bad as it was to incarcerate American citizens simply becuase of their race during WW 2, it would be an egregious error to say that it was morally the same as the Holocaust. No not all sins are equal, not even close.

Well, true. Both were reliant on race/culture/faith. As for the holocaust, I have NEVER gotten an answer as to whether Judaism is a faith and/or a culture. Doesn't really matter, I suppose.

One incarcerated; one tortured and killed. They would seem to me to be MILES apart.

The answer is yes. Or, to be more specific, Jewish life is a culture, while the Tanakh is an expression of the relationship between The Almighty and His people. In the world's eyes, they are conflated: anti-Semites hate both Jews and their culture, supporters of the Jewish people love both Jews and their culture.
