Former Israeli Knesset member Moshe Feiglin quoted Adolf Hitler as he called for Israel to resettle the Gaza Strip and create a “Hebrew Gaza.”

Feiglin, who quit Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party to found the right-wing Zehut Party and plans to challenge Likud in Israel’s next elections, made the comments during a panel discussion on Israel’s Channel 12 that was shared on social media on Sunday, as Middle East Eye reported.

“We are not guests in our country, this is our country, all of it…” Feiglin said, adding, “As Hitler said, ‘I cannot live if one Jew is left.’ We can’t live here if one ‘Islamo-Nazi’ remains in Gaza.”

      I guess you just pretend not to see comments all over Lemmy expressing support for Hamas?

          Doesn’t mean there isn’t support for Hamas abounds.

          They seem like immature TikTok kids from what I can tell, but they’re around.

            Oh definitely. I’m just saying both sides have their indiscriminant supporters and that one side is way overrepresented in my experience

        I read newspapers in several languages and see your strawman in comments all over the world: Criticizing Israel means supporting Hamas.

        In reality pretty much everyone is explicitly not supporting Hamas terrorists while arguing for a stop to the Israeli atrocities.
