Israeli Politician Quotes Hitler to Argue for Resettlement of Gaza | Common Dreams
www.commondreams.org
"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.”

    The Story Of Lehi, The Jewish Terrorist Organization That Tried To Form An Alliance With The Nazis

    He took Jabotinsky’s idea of a mass exodus of European Jews to Palestine and crafted an outlandish proposal: in return for Lehi swearing their allegiance to the Axis Powers, Stern wanted all Jews under the Nazi administration to be transferred to Palestine, 40,000 of whom would be immediately armed and trained to rebel against the British authorities.

    Lehi’s members obtained key roles in israeli politics later on, such as one of their leaders Yitzhak Shamir which became prime minister of israel.

      The claim was “the right wing Zionist used to work with the Nazis”. The “source” is describing

      • a splinter group (that was opposed by other Zionists)
      • trying to get an agreement with the Nazis
      • that would allow all Jews to leave the Nazi territories

        Of course the right wing was opposed by other Zionists. They were radical fascists. That’s why I said right wing (the minority) and not all of them. The problem is the right wing is now the majority. Revisionist Zionists control Israel today. They did far more than try to get agreements and it was for way more than for Jews to leave Nazi territory. Stern was hoping to get Nazi backing to attack the British in Palestine and to help prop up the fascist ethno-state that would be established.

          I’m not familiar with the factions in Zionism, but according to Wikipedia they were opposed by other revisionist Zionists, e.g. Ze’ev Jabotinsky. Also: still no sources

            I did give you a source, you just didn’t respond to that comment for some reason.

            Also I’m not sure why you think what you’re saying is inconsistent with what I said. The revisionist zionists worked with the Nazis and fascists in Italy. Then after the war started a splinter group continued to work with a Nazis, although there is evidence to say that the other group was also still working with the Nazis. Since you already read Wikipedia you must have seen that part.

            Since you were unfamiliar with the factions of Zionism I suggest you learn about them and that would make you better able to have these discussions. Though keep in mind they’re all friendly with fascists left and right. Because Zionism is inherently a fascist principle.
