Warning: Philippines' President Wants To Be The New Adolf Hitler! by Justmary06(f): 9:54am On Oct 01, 2016 |
World News, Fri Sep 30, 2016. Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte appeared to liken himself to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler on Friday and said he would "be happy" to exterminate 3 million drug users and peddlers in the country. Although the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama played down the remark, Duterte's comments triggered shock and anger among Jewish groups in the United States, which could create pressure on the U.S. government to take a tougher line with the Philippines leader. U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter told a news conference following a meeting Southeast Asian defense chiefs in Hawaii that he personally found Duterte's comments "deeply troubling", though the matter wasn't discussed at the meeting. State Department spokesman Mark Toner had earlier described Duterte's remarks, made in a rambling speech in Davao City, as "a significant departure" from America's partnership with the Philippines "and we find them troubling." Duterte told reporters that he had been "portrayed to be a cousin of Hitler" by critics. Noting that Hitler had murdered millions of Jews, Duterte said, "There are 3 million drug addicts (in the Philippines). I'd be happy to slaughter them. "If Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have ...," he said, pausing and pointing to himself. "You know my victims. I would like (them) to be all criminals to finish the problem of my country and save the next generation from perdition." U.N. special adviser on the prevention of genocide, Adama Dieng, expressed alarm and urged the Philippines leader to exercise restraint in his use of language, a U.N. statement said. Dieng also called on Duterte to support an investigation into the reported rise in killings resulting from his anti-drug campaign, the statement said. In August, Duterte threatened to withdraw the Philippines from the United Nations after it called for an end to the killings. Since Duterte took office on June 30, more than 3,100 people have been killed since then, mostly alleged drug users and dealers, in police operations and vigilante killings. Duterte, who was elected in May on the back of a vow to end drugs and corruption in the country of 100 million people, has insulted Obama and in a number of remarks he has undermined the relationship between Manila and Washington. On Friday, reacting to critical comments on his war on drugs by U.S. Senators Patrick Leahy and Benjamin Cardin, Duterte said: "Do not pretend to be the moral conscience of the world. Do not be the policeman because you do not have the eligibility to do that in my country." Jewish groups quickly condemned Duterte's Hitler comments. Rabbi Abraham Cooper, head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Digital Terrorism and Hate project, called them "outrageous". "Duterte owes the victims (of the Holocaust) an apology for his disgusting rhetoric," Cooper said. The Anti-Defamation League, an international Jewish group based in the United States, said Duterte's comments were "shocking for their tone-deafness". "The comparison of drug users and dealers to Holocaust victims is inappropriate and deeply offensive," said Todd Gutnick, the group's director of communications. "It is baffling why any leader would want to model himself after such a monster." Duterte has said there will be no annual war games between the Philippines and the United States until the end of his six-year term, and his hostility may make Washington's strategy of rebalancing its military focus toward Asia in the face of an increasingly assertive China more difficult to achieve.

I was invited to this indoor wedding at the weekend. When I reached the Venue (hotel), I found two doors written: 1. Bride relatives 2. Groom relatives "Hmmmm interesting" I said to myself as I entered the door marked Groom relatives and found two more doors written: 1. Ladies 2. Men I started laughing for no reason then entered the mens door and found two doors written; 1. People with gifts 2. People without gifts. I entered the second door ( people without gifts ) and found myself outside of the hotel. Happy Independence Day. Have fun 3 Likes |

Its not just a war against drug dealers, its a war against drug users too. Meaning that even marijuana users would be killed too seeing that it the world's most abused drug. Killing people unjustly is wrong. Receive sense. Larryfest: |

Its so unfortunate that some Nigerian youths are in support of this supposed impending genocide by a power drunk tyrant. Someone plans to kill 3 million people and you cheer him on? Have you ever taken marijuana or codeine in your life? If yes you deserve death too. Bloody morons. |

trapQ: Murdering 3 million people? That's a holocaust. Sad thing is that many of those who actually indulge in drugs and became addicted were once victim of mental depression. I don't know how someone can be so heartless and taking such decision. 1 Like 1 Share |

Larryfest: Actually am not in support of abusive drug usage but death penalty for such an offense is pure brutalism. Highly gruesome and inhumane. What gives them the right to take away the lives of people they did not create? Do I need to tell you that most of the victims will probably be teenagers and youths. Less than 30years and their lives would be drastically cut short when they have lots of years ahead of them to make amends. 1 Like |
