The fucking irony of this coming right after US Congress passed a resolution saying that anti-Zionism is antisemitism
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.
Is anyone needed any more proof that Israel is fascist, this really has to be the last proof required
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.
after he said this in 2015, Germany was immediately like “Netanyahu… we did the holocaust. you don’t have to simp for us like this lol”
dam do you have a quote? I’d like to reference this

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.’”
