Comparing Iran to Nazis, Netanyahu vows to expose ‘lies’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continued a lobbying offensive against Iran during his last day in the US Thursday, comparing Tehran’s leadership to Hitler in the wake of the Israeli capture of a ship Jerusalem says was carrying Iranian missiles to Gaza.

Netanyahu spoke at the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, where exhibits document how 6 million Jews and Europe’s lively Jewish culture was destroyed in the Holocaust. He drew a parallel between a 1919 letter on display at the museum in which Adolf Hitler laid out his plans for an “uncompromising removal of the Jews altogether.”

“He called then for the destruction of Israel, and Iran today calls for the destruction of Israel,” Netanyahu said, after being shown a document signed by Hitler.

“Then, too, there were people who did not want to believe his words. We shall not allow Iran to arm itself with the capability to destroy us,” he continued.

You feel it's only fair that Iran have nuclear weapons since Israel does.

And if/when that happens, it'll be a good thing in your view.

Whenever he wants attention Bibi carts out the old Nazi ghoul from the casket to show around like some carnival barker showing off the elephant man.

Yes, Bibi, we all understand that you have a fixation with Nazis and Iran. Meanwhile when your IDF is caught gunning down another Palestinian in the back, standing idly by as your illegal settlers attack Palestinian olive groves or the Palestinians themselves who acts like the Nazis then?

It's sad when some become like the thing that they hate.
