However, during a ceremony at the nuclear research facility in Dimona, he issued a pointed warning to Iran – but his choice of words was rather crude, for a number of reasons.
“The weak crumble, are slaughtered and are erased from history while the strong, for good or for ill, survive,” Netanyahu stated. “The strong are respected, and alliances are made with the strong, and in the end peace is made with the strong.”
For starters, the suggestion that “the weak” should be erased from history is a little disturbing coming from a leader of a country, especially one that possesses nuclear weapons.
Secondly, a historical figure said something similar in 1923:
“The whole of nature is a mighty struggle between strength and weakness, an eternal victory of the strong over the weak.”
These words were
uttered by Adolf Hitler, the genocidal maniac who slaughtered nearly six million Jews during the Second World War, during a speech in Munich, Germany.
