...brought upon Europe, upon the world ... May I state: let never again that concept be misused, because we remember the late '30s and the result of that misuse." As his listeners understood, Begin was comparing the Palestinian claims to the West Bank with those of Nazi Germany on the Sudetenland, a predominantly German portion of Czechoslovakia, in the late 1930s?an analogy that was as undiplomatic as it was contrived...
