OK so I don’t think much needs to be said here, I’ll just bring your attention to the comments of the leader earlier regarding the Holocaust:
Leading Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert to step in (presumably with some bemusement) and remind the Israeli Prime Minister that:
“All Germans know the history of the murderous race mania of the Nazis that led to the break with civilization that was the Holocaust…This is taught in German schools for good reason; it must never be forgotten…And I see no reason to change our view of history in any way. We know that responsibility for this crime against humanity is German and very much our own.”
One of many authoritative historians wading in:
“The head historian at Yad Vashem responded to Netanyahu’s remarks saying that they “were completely incorrect. There is no connection between the beginning of the Final Solution and Hajj Amin al-Husseini.”
Tom Segev also has commented as have others. Take a look at the article in the Times of Israel for more.
