Germany tells Netanyahu: We are responsible for the Holocaust

[denem]

Source: BBC

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.

Merkel: "We abide by our responsibility as Germany for the Shoa [Holocaust]"
Netanyhu: "No-one should deny that Hitler was responsible for the Holocaust"
(just one bad egg or two Bibi?)

This must be some kind of alternative reality.

Thanks for the thread, denem.

2. Netanbooboo is an opportunistic asshole that will say or do whatever gives him a boost.

He'll just shrug it off tomorrow.

17. He and Trump are cut out of the same rotten cloth.

3. ignorant " rivisonist"

4. Netanyahu excuses Hitler for the Holocaust and the German Chancellor scolds him for it.

Netanyahu remains popular and home, doubles down on that position and sees no need to escape Israel with a fake passport.



Reality bending to the breaking point.

5. If countries would be as honest about their past as Germany

and I'm talking to you, America, maybe we could move forward.

and thank you Chancellor Merkel for setting the lying Bebe straight.

6. Neti is such a shit-stirrer.

It's obvious he has no respect for anyone's intelligence.

7. What Netanyahu said

Is as low as it gets.

14. it really is

the asshole thinks he can speak to the world as if everyone, besides him, are a bunch of 3 year olds with an education that lacks the comprehension of a 3rd grade education.

what. a. prick.

8. So much for the justification of the RW Likud party's brutilization of Palestinians....

Netanyahu was trying to claim there was a direct and logical connection.

There was none.

This is no different that the way our RW tried to pin 9/11 on Saddam to justify the invasion.

We should be grateful Netanyahu was stupid enough to spout this in front of cameras because it could mean the beginning of the end of decades of propaganda.

16. Yes, that's exactly what he was doing IMO

It was a further attempt to demonize the Palestinians and justify the occupation.

The occupation is approaching 50 years old - an anniversary which will, presumably, bring Israel's position under increased scrutiny.

I expect to see more and more of this toxic propaganda from him as he attempts to re-frame the debate.

As you say, maybe he has or will go too far with it - one can but hope.

9. When the descendants of the FUCKING PERPETRATORS have to tell you what happened.....

10. Net really is the Israeli version of Darth cheney.

He is one sick, twisted, paranoid, unyielding son-of-a-bitch, just like that sick, twisted, Paranoid son-of-a-bitch that fook'd this country over with his hand up w's ass for eight ugly years.

11. If Even Merkel Is Willing To Take Ownership

What a schmuck it again proves Baby Yahoo to be, another sad milepost in his long history of schmuck-dom.

Say anything, do anything, as long as it draws attention and might garner votes if you are a politician, understanding that you are superior and will never be held accountable. And of course it probably plays well with your fear-mongered and poorly-informed audience.

Come to think of it, could there possibly be anyone with a high profile on the North American plate who might match that profile?

In a former lifetime, well before "D'oh," the expression we shared, apparently from some barely post-medieval English literature, was "Hud."

13. It's not everyday I express appreciation for somebody like Angela Merkel

Dankeshön, Frau Merkel.

15. what an ass.

18. Its official: Bibby is the Donald Trump of Israel!

Without a doubt! America, pay attention!
