MK Avigdor Lieberman, Head of the Yisrael Beytenu faction in Likud, has hit back at Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's latest comments on Israel, compating him to Nazi propaganda minister Josef Goebbels.

"Anyone who heard Erdogan's hate filled rhetoric and statements of incitement understands beyond any doubt that this is a person who continues in the footsteps of Goebbels. His libels are like those of the Dreyfus trial and the Elders of Zion," said Lieberman, who heads the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee.

"Today," Lieberman said, "I urge all those who attacked me and Yisrael Beytenu for our resolute objection to apologizing before the Turks for the Marmara events, to reach conclusions and do some soul searching."

Lieberman was referring to his opposition to Israel's decision to "apologize" for the 2019 killing in self-defense of 9 Islamist extremists on board a flotilla. Soldiers who boarded were attacked with knives, swords and blunt objects, eventually responding with live fire after a number of their comrades were seriously injured.

"What do they say about Egypt: democracy is not the ballot box. Who is behind this? It's Israel," Erdogan told a meeting of his Islamist Justice and Development Party (AKP).

"We have the evidence,” he said, citing comments made in 2011 during an open session between current Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and Bernard-Henri Levy, a French-Jewish philosopher and author, in which he said Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood would not be able to remain in power even if it won elections.

This is not the first time the Islamist PM of Turkey - whose AKP party is ideologically aligned to the Muslim Brotherhood - has entertained anti-Israel and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
