Prime Minister Netanyahu asserted that “after the Holocaust and the State of Israel was established, the attempts to destroy the Jewish people have not disappeared. Iran openly declares every day that it wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth”. He went on to state that “the lesson of Auschwitz is, one, stop bad things when they’re small, and Iran is a very bad thing. It’s not that small but it could get a lot bigger with nuclear weapons. And I think the first thing is [to] stop that”.
