“…clarity enabled the Allies to root out Nazism in the twentieth century. They did not look for the ‘root cause’… of Nazism – because they knew that some acts are evil in and of themselves, and do not deserve any consideration or ‘understanding.' They did not ask whether Hitler was right about the alleged wrong done to Germany at Versailles. That they left to historians. The leaders of the Western Alliance said something else: Nothing justifies Nazism. Nothing.
We must be equally clear-cut today: Nothing justifies terrorism. Nothing.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
“Analogies with the past are never properly accurate, and analogies especially with the rising fascism can be easily misleading but, in pure chronology, I sometimes wonder if we’re not in the 1920s or 1930s again.“This ideology now has a state, Iran, that is prepared to back and finance terror in the pursuit of destabilising countries whose people wish to live in peace.”
He added: “There is a tendency even now, even in some of our own circles, to believe that they are as they are because we have provoked them and if we left them alone they would leave us alone.
“I fear this is mistaken. They have no intention of leaving us alone.
“They have made their choice and leave us with only one to make - to be forced into retreat or to exhibit even greater determination and belief in standing up for our values than they do in standing up for their’s.”
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
