Hitler retraction

A SENIOR member of Israel’s government has welcomed White House spokesman Sean Spicer’s apology for saying Adolf Hitler did not use chemical weapons, comments that overlooked the killing of millions of Jews in Nazi gas chambers.

“Since he apologised and retracted his remarks, as far as (I) am concerned, the matter is over,” Intelligence and Transport Minister Israel Katz said.

Spicer made the assertion during a discussion about the April 4 chemical weapons attack in Syria that killed 87 people. “You had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons,” Spicer said. Reuters
