I mean, Netanyahu has built a successful platform on fear, but he struggled like hell to gain a majority now, and his genocide does not seem to be popular at all with the Israeli voter. I don’t think he would have received many votes had they known it would end up like this.
The Germans never gave the NSDAP a majority, and the whole genocide thing probably wasn’t that clear to the voters either. The main thing putting Hitler in power was arguably the weak leadership of the German center right, not the electoral success of his platform.
I can’t think of a single genocide where people actively voted for it in a direct way and it won a majority. Contemporary Israel is the closest example I can think of. Netanyahu showed his true colours long ago, and the Israeli voter - much like the American Trump supporter - really should have known better.
Which history though?
