There is a certain amount of what the Italians will or will not permit to be considered, Rommel deported the Jews in Libya but not exterminate them even though he had plenty of time to, so I would presume his instructions where just to ghettoize and loot the ones in Libya and not to massacre them. Letting the Egyptians root out and slaughter the Jews (whilst turning a blind eye; and handing out the rifles to do so) is different than the SS setting up organized extermination camps like they had in Russia and Poland;
Italy in this period only did repression against Jews not institutionalized slaughter like Germany did, they might not be on board with getting their hands so dirty (but likely to be indifferent to letting the Egyptians do it)
Oh FFS!
After all the drama surrounding this thread, all the comments that you were not supporting the worst parts of the Nazi regime, you HAD to go here? This is so far beyond simply being a Rommel/Afrika Korps fan that it has reached escape velocity.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph! How did you think, even for a second, that this sort of justification was acceptable. Worst part is that Rommel's hand were relatively clean when it came to the Final Solution, way cleaner than this:
" Letting the Egyptians root out and slaughter the Jews (whilst turning a blind eye; and handing out the rifles to do so) is different than the SS setting up organized extermination camps"
No, it isn't. It is the exact same thing as the Reich did in parts of occupied Europe.
It would be GENOCIDE.
Dispossessing Jews and moving them into Ghetto's because the are Jews is Ethnic Cleansing. It is a Crime Against Humanity.
You don't get to handwave Genocide or Ethnic Cleansing.
To Coventry with you.
