Australia’s most outspoken Muslim leader, Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, has compared the Israeli bombing of Gaza to the Holocaust, sparking outrage among Jewish groups.
Sheik Hilali, the imam of the nation’s biggest mosque at Lakemba, southwest Sydney, lashed out at the Israeli leaders, branding them as “butchers” whose “Zionist racism” was creating another Holocaust.
“When we remember the atrocities of the Holocaust – it seems that what we are seeing is another Holocaust,” said Sheik Hilali.
“It is not just about numbers of people killed – thousands as opposed to millions – but the atrocity itself, and here we have similar atrocities.”
