No Surprise, Since PA's
Prime Minister is Holocaust-Denier

Holocaust Horror In Abu Mazen's Official PA Newspaper:
"Zionists Collaborated With Nazis To Kill Anti-Zionist Jews"

    NEW YORK- The official Palestinian Authority newspaper has asserted that Zionist leaders collaborated with the Nazis during the Holocaust in order to kill anti-Zionist Jews and force other Jews to immigrate to Palestine. Such libels are an egregious violation of the Road Map's prohibition against incitement.

    An article in the PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida on June 24, 2003, stated:
    "If coming back to the suffering and tribulations [caused] by the Nazis, we would read hair-raising things about the entanglement of the Zionist leaders in the "sacrifice" of many Jews in order to kill two birds with one stone: to be rid of those who disagreed with them [meaning Jews opposed to Zionism] on the one hand and, on the other, to push all the Jews to immigrate to Palestine, since Europe had become an unbearable Hell.
    "I would like to say that, based on the above, the Jewish -- or more accurately Zionist -- willingness to sacrifice Jews for the above mentioned cause is a known historical tradition."
    (Translation courtesy of Palestinian Media Watch.)

    The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) points out that the PA's latest Holocaust slur should come as no surprise, since PA Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) is himself a Holocaust-denier who has accused Zionist leaders of collaborating with the Nazis. Mazen is the author of a 1983 book called The Other Side: The Secret Relationship Between Nazism and the Zionist Movement, in which he stated that the Nazis may actually have killed "only a few hundred thousand" Jews, not six million; that Zionist leaders collaborated with the Nazis and gave "permission to every racist in the world, led by Hitler and the Nazis, to treat Jews as they wish, so long as it guarantees immigration to Palestine. Zionism not only gave this permission but was seeking more victims in order to maintain equality with the sacrifices of other nations during the war"; and that "the interest of the Zionist movement is to inflate this figure [from several hundred thousand to 6 million] so that their gains will be greater." (Jerusalem Post, Jan. 26, 1995)

    ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said: "At the very moment that some are claiming Abu Mazen's and his PA regime are moderate and interested in negotiations, Mazen's official PA newspaper is promoting the most vicious slander about Zionism, Jews, and the Holocaust. If Mazen wants peace, why is he promoting hateful lies about the Jewish people and Jewish history?"

    The Bush administration's Road Map plan specifically requires that "all official Palestinian institutions end incitement against Israel." The plan also states that the incitement had to end by May 31, 2003--nearly four weeks ago.

    ZOA president Klein added: "Abu Mazen claims that he doesn't have a sufficiently large security force to combat terrorism. But he doesn't need a security force to order his own newspaper to stop its vicious anti-Jewish incitement. All he needs to do is give the order. Why won't he do it?"

    The ZOA notes that a February 2003 poll by McLaughlin & Associates found that 64% of Americans believe that "world leaders should refuse to meet with Abbas and treat him the same as others who deny or minimize the Holocaust." Only 20% of Americans believe that world leaders should meet with Abbas.

    PA spokesmen and official PA publications have repeatedly called the Holocaust a hoax or belittled the Holocaust by comparing Israel to the Nazis. For a free copy of the ZOA's report, Holocaust Denial and Distortion by Palestinian Arab Leaders, please call the ZOA at 212-481-1500.

    The Zionist Organization of America, founded in 1897, is the oldest pro-Israel organization in the United States. The ZOA works to strengthen U.S.-Israel relations, educates the American public and Congress about the dangers that Israel faces, and combats anti-Israel bias in the media and on college campuses. Its past presidents have included Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis and Rabbi Dr. Abba Hillel Silver.

The incitement and hatered of Jews continues, while we march down the road of establishing a terrorist PLO-state right next to Israel at suicidal borders. Couldn't be any better for the terrorists. They finally agree - terrorism has worked and the west has bought our propaganda.

It is the same regime. The same terrorists. The same policies. The same goals. The same view of Jews. The same view that Israel must be destroyed. The same deal during the Oslo Accords in 1993. Now its simply a different name, a schedule for giving these murderers a state, and pulling back Israel.

You are, unfortunately, correct. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Actually, the old boss (Arafag) is still the boss.

[SwinneySwitch]

I'm confused. If the Holocaust never happened- how could the Zionists have "Collaborated With Nazis To Kill Anti-Zionist Jews"?

The terrorist Abu Mazen believes that only about 890,000 Jews were killed by Zionists collaborating with Nazis. So I guess with that number, it cannot be considered a Holocaust.

Sharon may soon denounce Abu Mazen, Arafat and the Bush 'roadmap for peace.' The Palis cannot keep any bargain. I believe the Israelis soon will be forced to drive the Palis out by force.

[yonif]

Or you can say he denies what happened in the Holocaust.

I believe the Israelis soon will be forced to drive the Palis out by force.

And the sooner the better.

BTW, there is no such thing as an ethnic "Palestinian." They're Arabs, just like Jordanians, Syrians, etc. I hate the term, because like all Arab citizenships, it is based solely on arbitrary boundaries drawn up after WWI and WWII.

If you need more info about what the ZOA is doing etc, just Freepmail me. I am the President of a chapter at my college, and last year we had the Vice President of the ZOA come speak to a small right-wing crowd (and a few anti-Israel Arabs).

[Gurn]

Heck, for the hundred bucks I just sent, I hope I get some kind of regular updates to keep me informed. 8^)
