I'm beginning to wonder about your reading comprehension skills. I haven't seen anyone on this thread trying to defend, minimize, or deny Hitler's role in the Holocaust or World War II.,

I'll give you one more chance to understand what I'm saying. The author of the referenced book has reached the conclusion, based on historical evidence, that Hitler, who obviously hated Jews, did not, initially, (at the beginning, at the start, early on) intend to exterminate the Jews, but proposed differing deportation schemes, which were rendered unworkable by the way the war was going. He then formulated the Final Solution, i.e. the deliberate murder of all the Jews of Europe.

Netanyahu is simply saying that the Palestinian Mufti played some sort role in Hitler's final decision to actually systematically murder the Jews... the decision to exterminate rests with Hitler alone. I find it incredible that you would accuse Netanyahu of being a Holocaust denier, simply because he places the Mufti in the loop of Hitler's decision making process.

I think you may be the one in need of a long vacation.

Not initially. It was the next day when Netanyahu began backtracking from his original statement. Before boarding a plane for Germany, he added "of course" Hitler is to blame".

Here's the statement (you can find it on YouTube) that Netanyahu was trying to backtrack from:

"Hitler didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews. And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, “If you expel them, they’ll all come here.” “So what should I do with them?” he asked. He said, “Burn them.”

The statement has been proven wrong (again) over the last few day to be factually wrong.
