Last week, Chairman of the PA Olympic Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Fatah Central Committee Jibril Rajoub said that Hitler "could have learned" from Israel "about the concentration camps, the extermination camps."
Following the failed negotiations between the Palestinian Authority and Israel, official PA TV asked Rajoub if he expected "things to get worse." Rajoub replied that the Palestinians have nothing to lose, because they "live under a racist and fascist occupation":
PA TV host: "Do you expect things to get worse?"
Deputy Secretary of the Fatah Central Committee, Jibril Rajoub: "Sir, we have nothing to lose. What's worse? Do you think we are living in Sweden and have something to lose? We are living under a racist and fascist occupation. I'm telling you, if Hitler had come [here], he would have learned from them how to oppress humans and learned from them about concentration camps, extermination camps."
