He didn't say that did he ?He may well have done, that however, does not make him a Zionist and that's what Livingstone claimed Hitler was when he was stating Historical facts..!
Your words not mine mate, you cant defend the Indefensible, ask Ken Livingstone...!
Happy Friday
Livingstone said Hitler supported Zionism then backtracked and said he wasn't a Zionist. Whilst it's true that Nazi Germany signed an agreement to allow some Jews to emigrate to Palestine, that does not mean that Hitler supported Zionism. To support Zionism would mean that he supported the idea of a Jewish state which is undeniably false. He just wanted to get rid of Jews and hadn't yet decided to murder them all.He didn't say that did he ?
Mr Livingstone said he was not suggesting Hitler was a Zionist, saying the Nazi leader was "a monster from start to finish", but he said he had simply been quoting historical "facts".
That's it mate, he may have said it in a ham fisted way but he was only stating facts and the furore is over the top.Livingstone said Hitler supported Zionism then backtracked and said he wasn't a Zionist.
