“The first thing we saw was the town square being blown up. I have a shop there. A person’s whole life is in that place, their work, their memories, everything. Suddenly you see it exploding in front of you,” said Ahmad Abu Taam, a 56-year-old construction supply shop owner from Taybeh. “From that moment, I felt that I had become a refugee. I feel like I have no home.”

Well, without Hitlers horrific actions the Israels horrific actions would’ve been stopped already.
The course of Israeli history was essentially unaffected by Holocaust survivors, so his only mistake relevant here was not dying sooner.
Now that’s a big load of bullshit given Hitler was supportive of deporting the German Jewry to British mandate Palestine (look up the Haavara Agreement of 1933).
And while that was a modest transfer of people (less than 10% of the Jewish population by 1947), the post-Holocaust influx of survivors DID affect international politics to push for the establishment of Israel, hundreds of thousands of people flooding Palestine, creating a quasi humanitarian migration crisis, with post-WW2 sanctions/agreements forcing Germany to pay reparations directly to Israel.
Now, mind you, Hitler didn’t like the idea of Israel et al, but he found getting rid of German Jews more important than standing against the creation of a Jewish state. Altogether, his actions helped accelerate the spread of Zionism, even though he was anti-Zionist himself.
Saying that Holocaust survivors had little effect on the events that led to the establishment of Israel is a straight up lie.
