The Jewish Defense League has slammed actor Will Smith.

The league is upset over Will Smith's comments about Adolf Hitler. Smith recently said he thought Hitler was essentially a good person who didn’t intend to be “evil.”

Smith said Hitler “didn’t wake up going, ‘Let me do the most evil thing I can so today.’ I think he woke up one morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was ‘good.’”

The Defense League has labeled the comments “ignorant, detestable, and offensive.” They add that Smith, “spit on the memory of every person murdered by the Nazis. His disgusting words stick a knife in the back of every veteran who fought (and sometimes died) to save the world from the intentions of Adolf Hitler.”
