There is widespread condemnation for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a stunning attempt at revisionist history:  Bibi said that Hitler didn't plan on killing Jews during World War II, but got the idea from the Grand Mufti of Palestine.  Tel Aviv University history Professor Meir Litvak condemned Netanyahu's remarks "a lie" and "a disgrace".  Professor Moshe Zimmermann of Hebrew University said, "With this, Netanyahu joins a long line of people that we would call Holocaust deniers."  Opposition politicians demanded he retract the claim, especially who had family members killed by the nazis before Hitler and the Mufti met.  Netanyahu made his comments in a speech at the World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem. 

Netanyahu later flew to Germany for talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel, who refused to directly address Netanyahu's completely idiotic claim.  But a spokesman made it clear that Germany is solely responsible for the Holocaust.  The deepest indignation might be felt by Palestinians:  "It is a sad day in history when the leader of the Israeli government hates his neighbor so much so that he is willing to absolve the most notorious war criminal in history, Adolf Hitler, of the murder of 6 million Jews," said Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat.  "Palestinian efforts against the Nazi regime are a deep-rooted part of our history."

At the very least, the Israeli Prime Minister's statements risk deepening the divide between Israel and the Palestinians.  But this also comes at a time of spiraling violence in Jerusalem.  Eight Israelis have been killed by being stabbed, shot, or run over by Palestinian attackers in what appear to be unorganized copycat attacks.  And at least 45 Palestinians have been killed, either for their part in those attacks or in clashes with Israeli authorities.  There have also been blunders, such as one Israeli mistaking a fellow Jew for a Palestinian and stabbing him, and the lynching of an African farm worker who had nothing to do with the violence.  UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon personally went to Israel to urge Netanyahu to help ease tensions - instead, the world got this.

Luckily, there are still sane people in the Middle East.  The Hummus Bar restaurant in Kfar Vitkin is offering 50 percent discounts to Jews and Palestinians eating together.  The owners say their tables are filled with people enjoying good food and not killing each other.

US Vice President Joe Biden will not run for the Democratic Party presidential nomination.  The simple fact is that trial balloons, apparently floated from the Biden camp, were not met with a lot of enthusiasm.  Speaking at the White House with his wife and President Barack Obama at his side, he urged the other candidates to embrace Mr. Obama's record, and to run on it.  It ends weeks of speculation about whether Biden would challenge the two major Democrats:  Former Secretary of State, Senator, and First Lady Hillary Clinton; and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, running as a proud Democratic Socialist.  On the republican side, a bunch of know-nothings, hillbillies, and the orange clown.

The Vatican denies rumors claiming Pope Francis allegedly has a small brain tumor.

Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's first overseas trip since the beginning of the Civil War in 2011 was to Moscow.  The message from the Kremlin is clear - Russia will continue to defend Assad from Western-supported rebels, and will have to be involved in any resolution of the current crisis.

Refugees from the Syrian Civil War and elsewhere allegedly burned tents at a migrant reception center in Slovenia, upset over a lack of food, water and blankets in the camp.  Slovenia set out to be a model in charitable treatment of the migrants.  But the country was quickly overwhelmed.  Nearly 20,000 migrants that have arrived there just since Friday.  Officials say the centers can only handle 2,500 migrants a day.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is calling for worldwide oil prices to stabilize at US$88 per barrel.  Right now, oil is about $50 per barrel and actually slid a little on news of increasing American supplies.  Venezuela's one trick economy has been hit hard by falling oil prices, which were at $115 per barrel in mid 2014.  Ahead of a meeting of OPEC and non-OPEC oil-producing nations in Vienna, Maduro said, "We are going to present proof, technical elements, at this meeting, that the average price needed to guarantee global investment in the next five to 10 years should be $88."
