This is mostly true.

The details here are that the new death penalty law does not explicitly apply only to Palestinians, but effectively does. The new law applies to military courts where only Palestinians are tried. Israeli citizens and residents including Jewish settlers are not subject to military courts.

Also there is some due process, appeals are allowed, though they must be heard by a special court, and it seems that the standard procedural safeguards have been weakened. But the law does prohibit mitigation, commutation, or pardon, and it sets a 90-day deadline for execution after a final judgment.

And of course the Holocaust comparison is a matter of opinion.

Correct: the law is written neutrally, but only military courts—exclusively for Palestinians—can apply it, so in practice it targets them alone.

I don't try so hard to sound balanced and impartial. The only difference from the holocaust I see is the murder method.
