Former Jordanian education minister Ibrahim Badran said Hitler killed many people in one time period, but Israel kills many slowly with Western support. 
Badran made the comments in a July 7 interview with the official Palestinian Authority television channel, Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) reported on Thursday.
 
Badran called Israel a “racist state” which rejects the other in a “Nazi, Hitlerian manner.” The Jewish State, he said, “is a barbaric, racist state that has outdone what Hitler did.”
Hitler, the former educator claimed, killed many people in a single period of time, Israel “is murdering the others slowly… with Western support,” he claimed.
Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub recently made a similar claim, saying that the Jewish State is following in the footsteps of Nazi ideology.
Keeping up with the idea that the country was built to offer the Jewish people a homeland after the crime of the Holocaust, in which six million of the Jewish nation were murdered in Europe by the Nazis and those who aided them, Rajoub said on July 8 that “Auschwitz is here in every city in Palestine.” 
 
Rajoub spoke in an interview for Sawt Al-Arab in Kuwait.
