THREAD: πŸ“ŒπŸ“ŒπŸ“Œ
I had to read this article twice to try to understand Netanyahu's message here.
Netanyahu is letting his hatred of Palestinians cloud his knowledge of history. The alleged meeting with the Mufti didn't take place until November 1941.

Dachau concentration camp opened in 1933.
By 1935 there were already more than 100k Jews in concentration camps at Dachau, Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Flossenberg and Ebensee.
This assertion by Netanyahu defies all well-established and documented Holocaust history.

Netanyahu is effectively absolving Hitler---the 2nd worst mass murderer in recorded history after Stalin--of the extermination of 6 million Jews & 10 million other "undesirables" from the disabled to gays. But The Final Solution was established specifcally to EXTERMINATE Jews.

The gassing of Jews at Belzec using Zyklon B was already underway. Auschwitz, Birkenau, Dachau, Buchenwald: the dead at these camps are roiling in their mass graves at this Holocaust revisionism.
Hitler first began writing about "The Jewish Question" in September 1919!!!

There is only one conclusion to be drawn from this latest from Netanyahu, who is the most corrupt leader in the history of Israel: His hatred of Palestinians supersedes his concern for the memory of millions of Jews who perished under Hitler, my own relatives among them.
5/

Holocaust denialism in all its forms must always be refuted with the vast array of documentation that exists. There is an actual Holocaust scholar in my family---I am merely an historian-- but these FACTS of the Holocaust timeline refute Netanyahu. #Kristallnacht was in 1938.
6/

For Netanyahu to push this theory which amounts to absolution of Hitler mere days after claiming Abbas is linked to ISIS reeks of an agenda. And to violate the memories of millions in service to a corrupted view of Palestinians is just unconscionable. What a shanda.
