“Such a canard cannot go unchallenged,” declared Rabbis Marvin Hier and Abraham Cooper, Dean and Founder and Associate Dean and Director of Global Social Action for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, aleading Jewish Human Rights NGO.
“There is no comparing the monstrous genocidal dictator who plunged the world into WWII and who mass-murdered 6 million Jews during the Holocaust, with the democratically elected leader of theUS,” Hier and Cooper added.
“In truth Palestinians already know a great deal about one of history’s most evil mass murders: Hitler’s hatred for the Jews and war against the Allies, including Great Britain earned him an allyin the Grand />Mufti of Palestine, Haj Amin al-Husseini. He met with Hitler personally in Berlin,visited Auschwitz concentration camp and rallied Muslim support and soldiers for the Nazi cause,” they concluded.
