Israeli president lectures Philippine leader on Hitler

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin gave a brief lecture on Hitler to Rodrigo Duterte yesterday after the Philippine leader’s 2016 remarks comparing himself to the Nazi dictator who carried out the Holocaust.

“Hitler was actually representing the devil himself,” Rivlin said when the two men met at his Jerusalem office. “He was the devil on earth.”

Rivlin went on to say that Duterte’s visit to Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial on Monday must have illustrated to him the sensitivity surrounding any reference to Adolf Hitler.
