Netanyahu claimed yesterday that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was responsible for convincing Hitler to exterminate the Jews. Israelis and Palestinians are not letting him get off that easy.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to the World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem Tuesday afternoon, where he claimed that until he was convinced by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Hitler never actually planned on exterminating European Jewry.
According to Netanyahus curious reading of history, Hitler had only intended to expel the Jews, a plan that allegedly worried the Mufti, who was concerned that they would flee Europe for Palestine. Thus the Mufti hatched a new plan one the Nazis had yet to come up with themselves: Burn them.
But Netanyahu didnt get off so easy. Despite trying his best to backpedal on Wednesday, the prime ministers words caused an uproar, prompting both the Israeli opposition as well as Holocaust historians to condemn his remarks. Average Israelis and Palestinians did not hold back, taking to social media to mock Netanyahus comments. Here are a few of my personal favorites:

But as those things go, that was still pretty funny.
Now I want crepes.
