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.”
wait, he ACTUALLY SAID HE’S QUOTING HITLER???
when i read the title i thought he said something identical or very similar to something Hitler said maybe without knowing… all fascism leads to the same destination after all, you don’t need to be deliberate about it. (remember how people said TFG was quoting hitler and he said, and i paraphrase, “i didn’t know he said it i just came up with the same conclusion on my own” as if that doesn’t make it worse… kinda like that)
but NO! he literally quotes Hitler by attributing the quote to Hitler without a modicum of irony. dude the israeli government has gone do far deep into fascism that they can’t even use the thinnest veils as cover.
Yeah, his take seems to be “Hitler was right, races can’t coexist, if only he had been Jewish” from that quote.
Coming from a country which had a Fascist dictatorship until the 70s, I’ve started calling Zionism ethno-Facism, because it’s a far more rabidly racist strain than most Fascist dictatorships and unlike almost all of the others which were mainly Nationalist, claims to represent an entire ethnicity and justifies even their used of the most extreme violence as some kind life or death fight for the defense of their ethnicity.
Fascism as seens in places like Spain, Portugal, Greece or even Italy was mainly Nationalist (still authocratic, repressive and violent) and never anywhere as racist or violent as the kind of Fascism that includes claims of racial superiority and representing a whole ethnicity.
Amongst Fascists in Europe it’s only the Nazis that claimed, like the Zionists do, that they represented an entire ethnicity, who similarly committed extreme genocidal violence against specific ethnicities whilst claiming it was all in defense of their own ethnicity and who in the same way claimed than critci sm of their acts was being against that ethnicity.
Any Fascism is bad, but ethno-Fascism adds to it the whole layer of ethnicity and hence is far more cold, calously violent and genocidal when it comes to other ethnicities - think Ku-Klux-Klan crossed with Fascism.
He has never been part of Israel’s government.
Like I wrote in another comment, he was 36th on the Likud’s list 10 years ago, and later founded a party that didn’t even get 1 mandate.i shouldn’t have used the word “government” as what i meant was more along the lines of Israeli politics in general. not that the government itself is much better, they just haven’t name checked Hitler as much yet.
although natenyahu already has engaged in apologia for Hitler himself so it’s not far off anyway.
Yeah, he obviously can’t be a very good politician if he’s going around telling the truth like that
Carlos Latuff was right
Holy based
And nearly twenty years old but still relevant.
You know what I’d probably be doing right now if I was a Palestinian who was 8 at the start of that graph? Not looking to shake hands with my neighbors that’s for sure.
A politician who got the 36th position in the Likud list 10 years ago.
The party he founded after that didn’t get even 1 mandate.They have become the thing they hate.
I get the impression with a lot of Israeli politicians, they didn’t hate the Nazis so much as they hated being the out-group of the Nazis. Since, as soon as they were able to establish a foothold of power they’ve largely followed the same playbook, but with themselves as the “Master Race” and everybody else as the vermin to exterminate.
Zionists collaborated with the Nazis to try and create a Zionist Palestine, very early on. This is well documented.

Fascist thought is perfectly compatible between countries of different races. The philosophy is the “right” type of people should expel (or murder) undesirable minorities and take the resources they need. If those minorities go somewhere else and oppress some other people, that’s just how the world is supposed to work when it’s not corrupted by things like equal rights or respect for personal freedom. It’s how Aryan-supremacist Germany had no issues allying with Japan. They both believed in a world order where it was the natural state of things for racially homogeneous states to dominate lesser races and claim the resources for their people. Because they’re just better, and all the problems are from race-mixing and kowtowing to the undeserving.
One of the early anti-Jewish efforts by the Nazis (promoted now by some Israeli politicians for Palestinians) was encouraging Jews migrate somewhere else, Israel being one of the common destinations.
Very well put. Thank you for writing this.
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.

Any chance Zehut is pronounced like Zealot?
How anti-semitic of him
I’m most surprised by how little this development surprised me.

Promotors and apologists for genocide seem to believe “rooting out the Nazis” is an excuse they can claim with no evidence. This ignores the entire point that most people could not give less of a shit how you label the indiscriminate murder of civilians.
Actually, everyone and it goes many millennia back. If everywhere you go it smells like crap, look at your foot.
I downvoted, now you’re doing Holocaust inversion.
Like, yeah, most people want to live in peace, Jews and Arabs alike. This guy is literally quoting Hitler as a guy who had the right worldview, so not him.
“Downvote if you’re a nazi”
Oh no, he cracked the code, how can we downvote now???
The Jews have a lot of awful history. But right now it’s Israel who are comitting Genocide. That’s not “living in peace”
Wow, Bibi wasn’t quite far right enough for this Jewish Nazi. And fucking ironic he’s talking about ‘Islamo-Nazi’ s.
Pretty much the entirety of the Zionist propaganda follows the same ethno-Fascist lines as the Nazis stuff, from the “chosen people” and them claiming to represent a whole ethnicity to their claims that their agressive murderous violence along ethnic lines is “defense” and even calling anybody who criticizes their violence as being against their race, in the case of Zionists by calling the “anti-semites” whilst the Nazis would say that such critics were “against the Arian Race”.
Most of what the Zionists say is just Nazi propaganda with “Arian Race” replaced by “Jewish People” and “against the Arian Race” replaced by “anti-semite”.
So one kind a member of an ethno-Fascist ideology - a Zionist - directly quoting the leader of another ethno-Fascist ideology such as Hiltler, is not at all surprising.
It does seem like the TL;DR of right wing Israelis is “Hitler was right, but his only problem was that he was killing us.”
Looks like they choose themselves. Nobody chose them.
Nobody Jewish should ever do so.
Whats with all these Judea-Nazis in Israel?
If you think any of this is new I have a Nakba to sell you.
