Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte today (September 30, 2016) compared his campaign to kill criminals to the Holocaust, saying he would like to "slaughter" millions of addicts just like Adolf Hitler "massacred" millions of Jewish people, according to the Washington Post website.
"Hitler massacred three million Jews. Now, there are three million drug addicts... I'd be happy to slaughter them," he told reporters.
"You know my victims, I would like to be, all criminals, to finish the problem of my country and save the next generation from perdition," he said.
Since Duterte swept to power in July, more than 3,300 Filipinos have been killed -- either gunned down by police in late-night drug operations or felled by assassins -- often after being named by police. (An estimated six million Jewish people were killed in the Holocaust.)
