It is an error, a distortion, and a slander to insist that the neighbors who dislike you are to be regarded as mass-murdering lunatics, genocidal slaughterers.
We could say the same for those who liken your Presbyterian neighbors who play the pipes and dance at the annual Highland Games to Nazi, Aryan supremacists out to reduce all Slavdom to Helotry.
But that is how post-WW2 liberals have taught us all to condemn the mildest of anti-Semites, the most pacific of racists, the least aggressive of nationalists, and at last the Zionist partisans of a frankly Jewish State in Palestine.
And to refuse the truths in common stereotypes for no better reason than that they demand it.
Except for the tribalisms of non-Europeans, for which they have great indulgence.
