The Palestinian Authority (PA) celebrated Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day by denying its scope, Palestinian Media Watch revealed Sunday - claiming that instead of six million Jews killed by the Nazis, there were only 1-2 million.
"Estimates regarding the number of Holocaust victims differ," an Op/Ed penned by columnist Omar Hilmi Al-Ghoul for the official PA Al-Hayat Al-Jadida claimed. "The supporters of the Zionist movement have exaggerated the number of victims, claiming that it amounts to 6 million, whereas others, unbiased researchers, have estimated that there were between one and two million Jewish victims."
"Regardless of the number, the bottom line is that a catastrophe that harmed the Jews in Europe occurred, due to matters concerning the relations between the European nations and the Jews living among them," he continued.
He then accused "Zionists" of orchestrating the Holocaust in order to establish the state of Israel.
"The Zionist movement wanted to achieve a series of goals: First, to take advantage and use this [the Holocaust] to blackmail the European states financially and politically to make them support the Zionist colonialist project," he said. "Second, to bully the Jews to immigrate to the Israeli ethnic cleansing state, which was [then] in in the preparatory stages of establishment."
"Third, to increase the Jews' suffering and abuse in order to take advantage of the world's compassion for them."

Well, I guess that would make it OK, then, hey? You know, if ONLY 1-2 million Jews were herded into gas chambers and then incinerated.
Oh, well....in THAT case......
Plenty of stupid White Christian Americans believe them. I can’t believe the sheer number of Jew-hating maniacs who post on Facebook every day, denying Muslim terror and blaming the Jews for 9/11 and every other attack.
They are just trying to lower the actual number so they can claim to exceed their German predecessors.
A lot of confusion is based on the fact that at the end of the war, there was a substantial effort to destroy incriminating records. Initially, estimates were that the Nazis exterminated “3 million Jews and 3 million others.”
However, some records survived, both in the West, and under the control of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact. And as these slowly came to light, the numbers of extermination camp dead, non-camp genocide, and war dead all had significant revisions.
The total number of Jews believed killed in the camps close to doubled to 6 million, and the number of ‘others’ was significantly reduced.
The Nazis had a very complex system of camps, and people were often shuttled between them.
Hostage camps.
Labor camps.
POW camps.
Reeducation camps for Poles.
Collection and transit camps.
Extermination camps.
Naturally. The bearded savages are no better than the nazis.
Not to mention he gave us the Volkswagen. /s
He stabilized the currency, and kept the dogs out of the parks./s
Pretty well much it. Without denying the higher figure, I think 1-2 million and 5-6 million converge into an asymptote.
I guess Turkey can come out and say “hey, we only murdered 653,357 Armenians.
You mean the Palestinians that Hillary has always favored?
Anyone who can got to the Holocaust Memorial and not be moved to tears is a cold soul indeed.
One time a few years back a Pali official claimed, “There was no holocaust of the Jews during World War II! There was a holocaust but it was not of Jews! It was a holocaust of Jews shoving Palestinian babies into ovens! That was the real holocaust.”
Don’t have the exact quote but it was very similar! It was for internal consumption in Gaza.
instead of six million Jews killed by the Nazis, there were only 1-2 million.
For years I have believed the 6 million claim. What a relief that it’s actually only 2 million max.
I understand that Palestinian arabs lost as many as 9 homes during the 1967 war.
1 million at Auschwitz alone. With records.
That comment should win the Internet for the day.
Just dayamn.
Only 1-2 million like that is nothing.
German records list between 4.9 and 5.2 Million. Many more died in transit to the death camps. Some believe the 6 million figure is too low and the true number is closer to 7 million.
There was also the death march.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
