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.”

      I downvoted, now you’re doing Holocaust inversion.

      Like, yeah, most people want to live in peace, Jews and Arabs alike. This guy is literally quoting Hitler as a guy who had the right worldview, so not him.

      Promotors and apologists for genocide seem to believe “rooting out the Nazis” is an excuse they can claim with no evidence. This ignores the entire point that most people could not give less of a shit how you label the indiscriminate murder of civilians.

      The Jews have a lot of awful history. But right now it’s Israel who are comitting Genocide. That’s not “living in peace”

      Actually, everyone and it goes many millennia back. If everywhere you go it smells like crap, look at your foot.
