Netanyahu compares Iran nuclear threat to Nazi menace

Source: ToI

The world turned a blind eye to the rising Nazi threat over 75 years ago, and today Iran is being allowed to develop its nuclear program and menace Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday as the country marked Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Declaring that Iran was determined to acquire nuclear weapons, and urging international negotiators to insist that Iran’s enrichment and other nuclear capabilities be completely dismantled, Netanyahu warned: “A deal that leaves Iran as a threshold nuclear state will bring the world to the threshold of the abyss.”

Israeli leaders gathered at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial Sunday night to remember the 6 million victims of the Nazi genocide.

On Monday morning, an air raid siren will ring out for two minutes as the nation comes to a standstill to mark Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Day, as the memorial day is official known.

Talk about historical comparisons? I'm sure German Jews of the 1930's could relate very well to how your nation has treated the Palestinian people over the years.

Just because Nutty is vile and cheap about it, doesn't mean DU-ers need to be.

He is an evil person.

It's a "God gave us this land!!" kind of thing. (Hint: no she didn't.)

Gees! Sometimes I really despise religion. Well... Most of the time. And there's no more of an exemplar of religion being bad than Israel. But they claim to be a secular nation. Right?

As an atheist, I reserve my criticisms to not what people believe, but how they act. I am polite to Jehovah Witnesses who knock on my door, as well as the Mormons (always in twos, dressed alike like Bobbsie Twins). I don't give a fuck what people believe. I judge them by their actions.

Israel is a thuggish country who have let religious elements take over control. That's never a good thing. And Netanyahu is a fucking kook.
