Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did something important last week — he reminded the world that the Arab war against Israel is a continuation of the Nazis’ war against the Jews.
What an uproar greeted Netanyahu’s remarks. He made them Wednesday, when he suggested that it was the World War II-era mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, who planted in Hitler’s mind the idea of exterminating the Jews.
Netanyahu was referring to an infamous meeting between the Mufti and Adolf Hitler in November 1941, two months before the Nazi ghouls gathered at a lakeside villa at Wannsee to plan the Final Solution.
“Hitler didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the time,” Netanyahu told a Zionist conference last week. “He wanted to expel the Jew.” He said the mufti warned Hitler that if he merely expelled the Jews, they’d all go to Palestine.
“What should I do with them?” Hitler asked, according to Netanyahu’s account.
“Burn them,” the mufti supposedly responded.
The liberal pettifoggers are going crazy over this, claiming, with a straight face, that Netanyahu was giving a pass to the Führer. A “defense of Hitler,” is how it wasdescribed in a headline in the Forward. The White House suggested that Netanyahu was being “inflammatory.”
