They can almost be used interchangably. Most of what I'm about to say probably changes from person to person.
The first difference that comes to mind is that squashing something implies it's doing harm or damage. But squeezing doesn't sound as bad. You might say, "I hugged my best friend, and squeezed her tightly" However there is still such a thing as squeezing too hard or tightly.
Squashing brings to mind the image of someone stepping on a an insect or a peice of fruit and destroying it. It also makes me imagine a downward force, but it doesn't have to be. I remember telling my chubby little brother when I was young to "get off of me, you're squashing me!" when we would wrestle :)
So there is a subtle difference. I can say for example that the word squeeze is always used when you're trying to get juice out of fruit.
Perhaps someone else might be able to add to my answer, but I hope that helps a little.
