He did allude to that (EDIT: that conflict). This is a discussion of the Holocaust and the rise of the right in Europe, not a discussion of world conflicts, wrongs and rights, of which there are too many to list. Perhaps more relevant is that, sadly enough, there are quite a few Israelis who are semi-supportive of these right wing attitudes in Europe and elsewhere simply due to their feelings that their enemy's enemy is somehow their friend. Similarly some jewish people in Europe who have been facing rising anti-jewish sentiments and rhetoric might even believe the right wing parties will help with that. This is by no means universal but I think it's a bad idea. In my opinion, this is partly a result of the left-wing biased (or lazy, or idealistic) approach which is helping fuel the fire. Admittedly this is also related to the bubble nature of today's view of reality. It's much easier to people to stay and believe in their bubble than rise to see the whole picture. You can always find anecdotal evidence to support any world view, simply viewing the world through a black and white lens is already a problem. Maybe people who are stressed out tend to do that more often. Let's also not forget that the European (and American) actions or lack of action recently and over many decades are some of the root causes of the refugee crisis which is fuelling these sentiments. Finally the background of the global economy, crisis, and wealth re-distribution are also a factor. When times are bad everyone is looking for someone to blame.
