Israel is imposing its policies in a ‘Nazi style’; Saudi academic

Protest against Israel

30 October 2023; MEMO: Saudi Arabian Professor of political sociology at King Saud University in Riyadh, Dr. Khaled Al-Dakhil, said the world must come to terms with the fact that “Israel imposes its policy in a Nazi manner.”

In a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, Al-Dakhil said Israel is “imposing wars, killing and confiscating lands, to build settlements and displacing the indigenous population. The Palestinians have recognised it [Israel] while [Israel] refuses to recognise them. It rejects peace. Whoever objects is accused of anti-Semitism. They brought Nazism with them from Germany. They and their Nazism must be confronted.”

Al-Dakhil strongly criticised the Israeli leaders’ attacks against UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, for saying that “the Hamas attack did not happen in a vacuum,” as well as the United Nations General Assembly, which called for a ceasefire in Gaza.

He stressed that Israel would not have dared to take such positions without American and Western support.

“Israel has dared to demand the resignation of the Secretary-General of the United Nations because he said that what Hamas did on October 7 did not happen in a vacuum. Its Foreign Minister described the General Assembly’s remarks as despicable. The Israeli leaders’ feeling that they control the balance of power in the region is clear and with unconditional American and European support. The Arabs can neutralise this.”

“The Israeli Foreign Minister went out of his way against the majority that voted for the United Nations General Assembly’s decision to stop the fighting in Gaza and not threaten civilians. He described the decision as despicable. Despicable stands with Nazism. Israel considers its policies not subject to criticism from the whole world… as the Nazis used to do,” he added.
