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 mean, Likud is the successor organization to the original Zionists, so they’ve always been genocidal ethno-fascists. But this guy decided to form his own party because Likud apparently wasn’t ethno-fascist enough for him.

      The “original zionists” were socialist and communists who tried to do things in the way of cooperation and peace, and were a defensive group.
      The offensive groups splintered off the original one after Arab riots and massacres of Jews.
