Israel PM compares boycott campaign with Nazi brutality

‘Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the international boycott campaign against the regime equals the sufferings imposed on the Jews during the Nazi rule in Germany.

“What was done to the Jewish people then is being done to” Israel now, he said on Monday in a meeting with Polish Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna.

The Israeli premier was launching a broadside against the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign. The campaign is aimed at increasing economic and political pressure on Israel and end the Israeli occupation and colonization of Palestinian lands, besides pursuing respect for the right of return of Palestinian refugees.
