Germany to Bibi: No, We’re Responsible for the Holocaust, Not Palestinians
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s attempt to blame the Holocaust on a Palestinian religious leader has drawn condemnation from Palestinians, politicians, and historians. To that list of critics, now add Germany.
On Tuesday evening, Prime Minister Netanyahu made comments during a Zionist Congress meeting which raised a few eyebrows.
“Hitler didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews,” he said. “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 asked. He said, ‘Burn them.’”
In the 1920s and 30s, Haj Amin al-Husseini was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, a Palestinian religious leader. While he was certainly no saint, to suggest that he was responsible for giving one of the most evil men in history his worst ideas is patently absurd. Especially given that Hitler was pushing for Jewish extermination a full two years before even meeting al-Husseini.
