News24 host James Macpherson reacts to an Aussie preacher who claimed that Jews provoked Hitler into deporting them so they could create Israel. “An Australian Muslim cleric now living and preaching in Iran has offered a rather novel interpretation of the Holocaust. According to Sayyid Abdullah Almusawi, we shouldn't blame Adolf Hitler for gassing the Jews. We should blame the Jews for Hitler gassing the Jews,” Mr Macpherson said. “Because, according to Almusawi, the Jews deliberately provoked Hitler so they could be deported to the Middle East and establish their own state on Palestinian land. “The cleric, who used to preach regularly at a Melbourne Mosque before moving to Iran, told those listening to his podcast that they shouldn't worry about the Jews. Because although the Jews were the most corrupt and vile people on earth, they would soon be destroyed, according to Islamic prophecy.”
