A day after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of being behind Egypt’s military coup, former foreign minister Avigdor Liberman shot back at Ankara, calling Erdogan the ideological heir to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

“Anyone who heard Erdogan’s words, which were full of hate and incitement, understands without any doubt that we are talking about the successor to Goebbels, and his plotting is in the same vein as the Dreyfus trial and the Elders of Zion,” Liberman said Wednesday, referring to two notorious instances of anti-Semitism.

The head of the Yisrael Beytenu party, known for his sometimes fiery and undiplomatic language, currently heads the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, and pending acquittal on a fraud indictment, aims to reassume the post of foreign minister.

The Elders of Zion is a notorious anti-Semitic text that describes a fabricated Jewish plot to control the world.Red the full story here.
