Netanyahu: Palestinians forced Hitler to kill Jews

[MikeWB]

The Israeli prime minister was roundly condemned today for claiming that a Palestinian religious leader coerced Adolf Hitler into murdering six million Jews during the Second World War.
Binyamin Netanyahu's comments came during a speech yesterday at the World Zionist Congress. He laid the blame for the Holocaust on Haj Amin al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem, who became an early Palestinian leader after Israel was founded in 1948.
"Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews," Mr Netanyahu said, recounting an alleged meeting in 1941 between the two men.
