Nethanyahu is the grandson of Begin, the Likud is like the Nazi Party.

Einstein had suffered REAL fascists ... so don't pretend he really
thought the Begin family were Hitler equivalents. He was way too
smart for that.
From the letter:
Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our time is the emergence
in the newly created state of Israel of the “Freedom Party” (Thuat Haherut),
a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political
philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed
out of the the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi,
a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine.
The current visit of Menachem Begin, leader of this party, to the United
States is obviously calculated to give the impression of American support
for his party in the coming Israeli elections ... It is inconceivable that
those who oppose fascism throughout the world, if correctly informed as to
Mr Begin’s political record and perspectives, could add their names and
support to the movement he represents.
Read the rest for yourself.
