Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has been accused of absolving Adolf Hitler in a speech to the World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem.
In the speech, he suggested that the WWII Palestinian grand mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini inspired the Holocaust:
“Hitler didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews. And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said: ‘If you expel them, they’ll all come here [to Palestine].’
‘So what should I do with them?’ he [Hitler] asked. He [the mufti] said: ‘Burn them.'”
