Just this month, one of Netanyahu’s shamelessly incendiary statements – the claim that Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, gave Adolf Hitler the idea of annihilating Europe’s Jews during World War II – sparked a media firestorm. When it comes to anti-Jewish zeal, Husseini’s record hardly needs false footnotes – unless, apparently, one has an interest in presenting the Palestinians as co-perpetrators of the Holocaust.
就在这个月，内塔尼亚胡无耻的煽动点燃了一场媒体风暴——他声称是耶路撒冷大穆夫提哈吉·阿明·侯赛尼向希特勒灌输了二战期间消灭欧洲犹太人的想法。在反犹热情问题上，侯赛尼的记录几乎不需要任何虚假的注脚——除非，显而易见，有人想把巴勒斯坦人说成是大屠杀的同谋。
