    He is saying something much worse here. He is blaming Palestinians for the holocaust, due to Amin al-Husseini’s meeting with Hitler. This is one of the founding myths of Zonism. As if meeting with some dude once was enough to be convinced to carry out a genocide.

    Edit: To clarify, Amin was a despicable person. But he did not and does not speak for the Palestinian people, and he probably had no role in convincing Hitler to carry out the holocaust.

      Wrong. Hitler became popular because he made good speeches. He started WWII because he failed art school. And he committed the holocaust because of the Palestinians. It’s that simple. Open a textbook, tankie

      Average neoliberal centrist: ”I only make up my mind when all facts are presented to me”

      Facts presented include genocide of 50,000 people

      “Well maybe they had a reason I’ll wait to make up my mind until I hear they’re argument

        Germany has insisted it was responsible for the Holocaust, after Israel’s prime minister claimed a Palestinian leader told the Nazis to kill Europe’s Jews.

        Chancellor Angela Merkel said Germans were “very clear in our minds” that the Nazis were responsible.

        Benjamin Netanyahu had said Hitler had only wanted to expel Jews from Europe, but that Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini told him: “Burn them.”

        His remarks have been condemned by Israeli historians and politicians.

        Speaking alongside Mrs Merkel in Berlin, Mr Netanyahu said “no-one should deny that Hitler was responsible for the Holocaust”.

        But on Tuesday speech at the World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem, Mr Netanyahu claimed Husseini had provided the idea.

        “Hitler didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the time - he wanted to expel the Jews,” he told the congress.

        "And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said: ‘If you expel them, they’ll all come here.’

        “‘So what should I do with them?’ he [Hitler] asked. He [Husseini] said: ‘Burn them.’”

    Many Nazis supported Zionism because they wanted them out of Europe.

    If anyone wants to do a weird alt history novel, a world where Nazi Germany and Isn’treal exist and fight each other would be wild.

    “The Nazis considered themselves Aryans. Where did that word come from? That’s right. The Arabs, and the Indians. The latter may support our resistance against Arab imperialist expansions into Israel, but we won’t forget that your people are literally predecessors to the Nazis!”

    kind of funny that Zionist movement that defend the interest of jews are the one doing more holocaust revisionism hence destroying the memory of the victims and survivors

    Bibi really sounds like the Judenrat who tells other jews in the ghetto that the nazi are ok as they are pushed into a cattle wagon
