Netanyahu: Hamas is trying to start another Holocaust

[azurnoir]

As Israel geared up to mark its annual memorial day for the Holocaust, Prime Minister Benjamin netanyahu renewed his attack on the new Palestinian unity agreement between Fatah and Hamas by drawing a comparison between Hamas and the Nazis.

"Hamas is trying to start another Holocaust," the prime minister told his cabinet at the start of its weekly meeting Sunday. "We hope that he will withdraw from the alliance and return to the path of peace."

Netanyahu also reportedly dismissed a statement by Abbas on Sunday, in which the Palestinian leader branded the Holocaust "the ugliest crime in modern history."

"Instead of issuing statements designed to placate global public opinion, Abu Mazen needs to choose between the alliance with Hamas, a terrorist organization that calls for the destruction of Israel and denies the Holocaust," the prime minister said.

1. Oh shut up for ONE day, Netanyahu, and don't use the Holocaust for cheap political purposes

Hamas are a vile bunch of far-right fundie extremists; but they're not the Nazis. Only the Nazis were the Nazis.

everything for himself and his friends.

4. What a fear mongering assh*le.

Instead of wrapping himself in the Holocaust perhaps Fibi could help out those Holocaust survivors in Israel living in abject poverty.
