The Likud party slams former prime minister Ehud Barak for reposting a video in which a professor compares Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a host of leaders who have lost touch with reality, including Adolf Hitler.

Barak, a prominent critic of the government, posted a video of Prof. Ichak Adizes from March saying that Netanyahu’s firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant indicated that he was determined to drag the country down with him to stay in power. (Gallant was quickly reinstated.)

Adizes compared Netanyahu to Slobodan Milošević, Donald Trump and even  Hitler in his final days.

The Likud party issues a scathing statement saying that Barak “continues to incite toward the murder of a prime minister of Israel and compares him to Hitler.”

The statement also slams the police and judicial authorities for not taking action.

“After dozens of complaints against inciters like him, where is law enforcement, which has not summoned him for questioning?” Likud says.
