Fox News strategic analyst Ralph Peters said on Wednesday morning that the Middle East is seeing “a genuine Holocaust against Christians” and described President Barack Obama as “the reincarnation of Pontius Pilate.”

Peters was responding during “America’s Newsroom” to a question from Fox host Bill Hemmer about whether the Islamic State terrorist group was intent on committing genocide.

“You know, after the Holocaust and World War II, the world said ‘Never again.’ But Bill O’Reilly’s right; it’s happening again. And it is a genuine Holocaust against Christians,” Peters said.

“Christians are driven from their homes in the Middle East by the hundreds of thousands, slaughtered by the tens of thousands, and our President does nothing,” Peters added. “He is the reincarnation of Pontius Pilate washing his hands, but this blood’s not coming off.”
