Israeli Politician Quotes Hitler to Argue for Resettlement of Gaza | Common Dreams

"In what kind of society can one openly advocate policies modeled on Hitler's conduct? In a society that feels complete impunity due to America's protection," one foreign policy expert said.

Former Israeli Knesset member Moshe Feiglin quoted Adolf Hitler as he called for Israel to resettle the Gaza Strip and create a “Hebrew Gaza.”

Feiglin, who quit Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party to found the right-wing Zehut Party and plans to challenge Likud in Israel’s next elections, made the comments during a panel discussion on Israel’s Channel 12 that was shared on social media on Sunday, as Middle East Eye reported.

“We are not guests in our country, this is our country, all of it…” Feiglin said, adding, “As Hitler said, ‘I cannot live if one Jew is left.’ We can’t live here if one ‘Islamo-Nazi’ remains in Gaza.”

    Opposed?

    Yes, opposed: “These appeals to Germany were in direct opposition to the views of other Zionists, such as Ze’ev Jabotinsky, who wanted Britain to defeat the Nazis even as they wanted to expel the British from Palestine.” Source

    What’s important to know is that Lehi while not the biggest organisation they were extremely violent.

    No, for the question of “the right wing Zionists working with the Nazis” it is not important. You can be extremely violent without working with Nazis…

    Their radical Zionism played a big part in shaping israel and their “the end justifies the means” approach can clearly be observed to this day.

    This may well be, but is also not the same as working with Nazis.

    Bonus meme: Lehi also ran the newspaper Hamaas

    Also no relevance for the question of working with Nazis.

      I like the part where you fully ignored a Lehi leader becoming the Prime Minister of israel
