Lebanon's New TV: 'Contradictions, Lies, and Exaggerations' in Number Killed in 'Jewish Holocaust'

On June 21, 2006, Lebanon's New TV aired an interview with U.S. author Norman Finkelstein, who wrote the book The Holocaust Industry. In the introduction to the interview, the New TV narrator asserted, "Never has there been an issue subject to as many contradictions, lies, and exaggerations regarding the number of victims as the issue of the Jewish Holocaust." In his interview, Finkelstein stated that the number of the Jewish survivors from the Holocaust had been grossly inflated by the "Holocaust industry" in order to blackmail Europe.

New TV: "Never has There Been an Issue Subject to as Many Contradictions, Lies, and Exaggerations Regarding the Number of Victims as the Jewish Holocaust"

Report: "The 'Holocaust' is the Jewish term for burning the sacrificial offering to ashes. Never has there been an issue subject to as many contradictions, lies, and exaggerations regarding the number of victims as the issue of the Jewish Holocaust. The number of people killed in the Holocaust was estimated, in the film Night and Fog by the French director Alain Resnais, to be between eight and nine million, on the basis of documents invented by the Jews. The number dropped to four million Jews in the Soviet report to the Nuremburg trials. The figure dropped further, to 300,000 victims, according to British historian David Irving, and reached only 50,000, according to Raul Hilberg the Jew.

"Given the statistical contradictions in the number of Holocaust victims, the French intellectual Roger Garaudy asks how the truth can be determined. The Holocaust Industry, by Dr. Norman Finkelstein, recounts how the Jews of the world have turned Jewish suffering at the hands of the Nazis into a political and ideological industry in order to garner support for Israel, and into a source of economic extortion, which has yielded inconceivable sums for the Jews and their organizations, using as a pretext the so-called victims of the Nazi annihilation operations."

Day in, day out, year after year, this is the hate-filled crap Jews have to put up with. But let someone publish a cartoon about Islam and the world is filled with self-righteous indignation as more innocents are dragged to their deaths. Sickening.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

An apt comparison. Thanks.

[Petronski]

Finkelstein and Irving are pigs.

Deborah Lipstadt has it covered:

[Jaded]

Sigh.

[Inyokern]

The 'Holocaust' is the Jewish term for burning the sacrificial offering to ashes.

The 'Holocaust' is not a Jewish term.

[umgud]

Why do these people even get an audience?

[denydenydeny]

and reached only 50,000, according to Raul Hilberg the Jew.

Total lie. Hilberg concluded a total of 5 million.

[andy58-in-nh]

Yeah, that's it: six million people just vanished into thin air; obviously a Zionist Plot. BTW, most of the residents of the town from which my father's family came just "vanished", too, never to be heard from again. I'm sure they're all now secretly living in Israel, plotting a takeover of the West Bank and Gaza.

Let the anti-Semites and their friends on the Left expose their insane hatreds. More Jews like me become die-hard Conservatives and American patriots every day.

[DJ MacWoW]

The 'Holocaust' is not a Jewish term.

This definition agrees with you.

Definitions of Holocaust on the Web:

From the Greek: "holos" (completely) and "kaustos" (burned sacrificial offering).

The word, Holocaust, derives from Greek words, meaning complete destruction, usually by fire.

(Greek, "the destruction of life by fire")

Norman Finkelstein: panned by The Dersh as an academic fraud and notorious as the world's only Jewish Hitler lover. Somehow he would come around to saying the whole problem with the Holocaust was Jews lied about the number of victims killed. Minimizing the extent of the Judeocide is but a short step to denying the Holocaust altogether. Actually, anti-Semites use both techniques to dismiss the idea the Jews were the victims of a crime against them so they don't have to worry about their ideology being viewed unfavorably by association with the Nazis. Today, its just acceptable to hate Jews, period.

[goldstategop]

The preferred term in Israel is the Hebrew "Shoah." Holocaust evokes the notion of a religious sacrifice through burning and what happened to the Jews was neither. It was an act of comprehensive state-organized mass murder.

(The Palestinian terrorist regime is the crisis and Israel's fist is the answer.)

[VeritatisSplendor]

Finkelstein does not claim there were few victims as Lebanon's New TV implies. He claims that there were few survivors, only about 100,000, because the Nazis were so efficient. He limits the definition of "survivor" to one who survived the camps, rather than one who hid or fled, or wasn't rounded up in time.

His thesis is that the slaughter of the Jews was not unique, and the survivors were few, so the world doesn't owe them anything - but that's not enough for the anti-Israel propaganda machine - they have to distort that thesis as well.

[DJ MacWoW]

I think to the Nazis, the destruction of Jews and others WAS their religion. But I understand your point.

[William Terrell]

How many Jews were living in Germany at the time, and how many survived it?

[goldstategop]

They have to erase the enormity of the crime from history altogether. Then it becomes easier to justify Israel's destruction because the Jews were thieves who stole the land from the Palestinians rather than the victims of a genocidal initiative against their race. Its hard to justify atrocities against a victim but against a brigand all manner of reprisals can be defended. So there is a vested interest in Holocaust denial. Its a veritage cottage industry among neo-Nazi and Islamofascist websites around the Internet and the bottom line they spout is the Jews lied. Discrediting the victim is the first step in making anti-Semitism fashionable again.

He limits the definition of "survivor" to one who survived the camps, rather than one who hid or fled, or wasn't rounded up in time.

Good grief your kidding! I met a couple in NY city that hid in Poland and had 2 small children. He would sneak out at night and steal food. All their family, on both sides, died in the camps. And this yahoo thinks they're not survivors?

[goldstategop]

Yes... the fewer Jewish victims to count, the more it can be dismissed as a case of ordinary wartime suffering and anyway so the argument goes what happened to the Jews was nothing special. Every one was a victim of Nazi aggression in World War II. Of course, this means conveniently overlooking the special character of the Nazi war against the Jews and the systematic measures taken to facilitate their complete destruction. To do that, all the evidence has to be ignored.

(The Palestinian terrorist regime is the crisis and Israel's fist is the answer.)

[DJ MacWoW]

It just proves again that liberalism IS a mental illness.

[goldstategop]

Along with Islamofascism.
