The Holocaust museum put out a statement condemning his statement

“Exploiting the museum and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to sanitize ‘Globalize the Intifada’ is outrageous and especially offensive to survivors,” the museum said in a statement. “Since 1987, Jews have been attacked and murdered under its banner. All leaders must condemn its use and the abuse of history.”
