And Hitler loved his Christ so much, that he spread His word to the Jews.

It would seem that the Israelis – judged by their treatment of other people – did learn something from Hitler and try to justify it as OK if it ” protects” Zionism. Lets not forget these maniacs as well as Muslim fundimentalists and our own Christian Stormtroopers.

Hitler’s only love was for power. He may have been Catholic but did practice his religion. Then again being religious doesn’t mean you’re a Christian either.

I think that this is surely an example of a quote that needs a bit more context. As it is shown here, I find myself a little disappointed at having to guess as to whether he’s criticizing Christians, Jews, or both.
Also, I note that Zangwill lived and died before the Nazi party came to power, so comments about Hitler here are probably more of a footnote to the quote as opposed to the point of it.
