Guardian readers claim leading Zionists during WWII rooted for Hitler. Comments not deleted by CiF Moderators

Whenever CiF fills its meager quota of essays which advance the heterodox view that Israel is actually not a ruthless villain, the righteous indignation by Guardian readers is typically fast and furious.

Today’s CiF commentary by Israeli MK Einat Wilf, “This UN bid for statehood will not help the Palestinian cause“, is no exception.

Here are a couple of responses beneath the line to Wilf’s commentary:

Leader of Zionist group in pre-state Israel wanted Hitler to win.  Also, bonus antisemitic comment: Jewish groups control the U.S. government. (11 Recommends)

Another commenter advancing the view that Jews supported Hitler during the war, while adding that modern day Israeli Jews are similarly “inhumane pricks”. (7 Recommends)

As of this post, these vile comments have not been deleted by CiF Moderators.
