Anti-Defamation League: Huckabee’s Comments ‘Trivialize the Horror’

MICHAEL SALBERG: “References to the Holocaust, trying to score rhetorical points at the moment in time when the American people need to hear about the details of the Iran deal and understand it, all of those factors, but the primary concern that we expressed was making the analogy to the Holocaust. It is inappropriate. It's offensive. And it does cross a line. The Holocaust, there was no state of Israel for the Jewish people. Israel had no allies. And today the United States is Israel's greatest ally. It trivializes the horror and the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and it impacts on the survivors and the descendants of the victims. And it just isn’t appropriate. It distracts from the kind of conversation that the American public deserves from its leaders and expects from members of Congress in this very critical review period of the Iran nuclear deal.”
