Netanyahu "Is A Certifiable Maniac" Norman
Finkelstein
Why is Netanyahu trying to rewrite history?
By Inside Story
It's not often you hear an Israeli prime minister being
described as a denier of the Holocaust.
That's exactly the accusation being levelled at Benjamin
Netanyahu. He says it was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem - a
Palestinian religious leader - who gave Hitler the idea of wiping
out the Jews during World War Two.
Israeli historians and opposition politicians are outraged.
Angela Merkel responded by insisting the Holocaust was very much
Germany's responsibility.
So is Netanyahu trying to rewrite history - and why? And how
dangerous is the inflammatory rhetoric on both sides?
