The real roots of Hitler's anti-Semitism was correctly perceived by the Russian revolutionary ( and Jew ) Leon Trotsky :
"Nationalism in economy comes down in practice to impotent though
savage outbursts of anti-Semitism. The Nazis abstract the usurious or
banking capital from the modern economic system because it is of the
spirit of evil; and, as is well known, it is precisely in this sphere
that the Jewish bourgeoisie occupies an important position. Bowing down
before capitalism as a whole, the petty bourgeois declares war against
the evil spirit of gain in the guise of the Polish Jew in a long-skirted
caftan and usually without a cent in his pocket. The pogrom becomes the
supreme evidence of racial superiority. "
Not the German SOUL but a profound crisis of capitalism created a need for a most vulnerable scapegoat in the ruined, post war Germany of the Weimar Republic.
Racism will not die as long as human society is divided into privileged and subjugated classes and groups. Way back in 1975 the United Nations declared Zionism a form of racism. Zionist philosopher Ayn Rand thought the oppressed Palestinians were inferior to the Jewish settlers of modern Israel.
Netanyahu played on anti-Palestinian prejudice in winning re-election as prime minister of Israel.
Armed with nuclear weapons Netanyahu is himself capable of HOLOCAUST genocide against the numerous " enemies of Israel " . Perhaps he gets ideas from that professional Islamophobe Pamela Geller ?
