Protest leader apologizes for comparing Netanyahu to Hitler

Prominent anti-government activist Moshe Radman apologizes for remarks he made “in the heat of the moment” earlier today, in which he likened Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

During a protest outside the premier’s home in Jerusalem, Radman said that “we got through Hitler… we will get through them too,” as part of a longer monologue comparing Netanyahu and his coalition partners to bitter past enemies of the Jewish people.

“My choice of words was wrong in the heat of the moment,” Radman says. “I was talking about the hardships endured by the Jewish people and the need for hope. [But] let’s move on, we have a country to save.”
