Following the U.S. veto of a U.N. resolution, which called for “international protection” for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip over Israel’s response to the violent March of Return riots, U.S. President Trump was described as “the copy of Hitler” and a “racist” in an op-ed in the official Palestinian Authority daily:
“This racist [Trump], the copy of Hitler, does not want to see us free but rather dead, uprooted, expelled and captive. He is happy to see us hungry, chasing the American sack of flour and leaving the principle of freedom thousands of miles behind us.”
[Official P.A. daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, June 3, 2018]
The same columnist stated that Trump is “colonialist, neo-racist, Hitleresque [and] Balfouresque” in an op-ed condemning the missile strikes on Syrian chemical-weapons’ facilities by the United States, the United Kingdom and France in April this year:
“I do not believe that colonialist, neo-racist, Hitleresque, Balfouresque [U.S. President Donald] Trump is interested in the welfare of a single Syrian and his right to live, since the same Trump justifies the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the officers of the occupation’s army, its soldiers and its settlers, and he defends these crimes.”
