There is a relationship. The reason Britain and France supported Israel and helped them create their own state after WWII was because of the Holocaust. They gave away land that wasn't theirs to give. It would be like as if the US now decided to give a group of people part of Iraq to make into their own country even though Iraqis now live there. Over 500,000 Palestineans were removed from their homes by force in 1947, and were never allowed to return. Not much different than the Jews in Europe who were removed from their homes by force. That is the relationship that he is referring to.
