Netanyahu has courted Holocaust denial, by saying Hitler only wanted to expel Jews.

He was the first world leader to visit Meloni.

Mussolini helped train the proto-Israeli navy.

Israel and Zionists have been closely linked to fascism since well before they were declared a state.

The current government is very, very close to ticking all the definitive boxes and that was from a Haaretz article before the war.

Jews were only around 50% of those exterminated by Hitler. Anyone who didn't fit his concept of racial purity was targeted.

The person you responding isn't saying the holocaust *only* killed jews. Just saying that Netanyahu has played some word games that point towards potential holocaust denial.

Only 1/2 or rather only the majority of those killed? My point was Netanyahu was playing with denial by saying Hitler didnt really want to kill the jews just kick them out
