| After Holocaust remark, White House warns Netanyahu against incitement |
| 2015-10-22 |
| Comments made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the week, which implicated the former grand mufti of Jerusalem in the decision to proceed with the Holocaust, amount to inflammatory rhetoric stoking tensions on the ground between Israel and the Palestinians, the White House said on Thursday. |

| #8 The role of Amin al-Husseini as an important ally of Hitler and a vicious anti-Semite is not in question. |

| #6 As I have explained yesterday, I think Netanyahu's remarks are problematic. This is not about the mufti, who certainly was an ardent supporter of the Holocaust, and had Rommel made it to Palestine (after a vistory at El Alamein, this was a real threat), his men would have gladly done the dirty work for the Germans. But to claim that he "convinced" Hitler, who at that time "only" wanted to deport the Jews, not wipe them out, to chose extermination is simply wrong historically. The Jewish communities here in Germany are quite taken aback by that statement. |
