I've always been opposed to th equation of Zionism with fascism. It always
struck me as an example of the way a section of people on the left bandy
terms about for effect rather than precision.
But I think the particularly brutal murder of Mohammed Abu Khdeir was the
work of people who actually are fascists. There is a section of the
settler population on the West Bank, and their supporters within the
Israeli state, who really are fascists.
It's interesting that this murder has led to a wider questioning of the
Zionist state itself among Jewish Israelis.
Louis posted a link to an article in Haaretz, but it's paywalled, I wonder
if anyone has access to the text itself:

I agree with Gary about oppositionists in Israel still dreaming of an
acceptable Zionism, but at least there is a wider questioning. It is up to
the forces of liberation within Palestine (ie Israel and the occupied
territories), supported by our solidarity, to get across the message that
*this is Zionism*. That this murder is not some bizarre anomaly, but is
*the perfectly logical consequence of Zionism*.
