Last week, on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen, leader of the so-called Palestinians and well-known as a Holocaust-denier, issued a statement calling the Holocaust “the most heinous crime to have occurred against humanity in the modern era.”
And, predictably, all the Useful Idiots, er…Liberals/Leftists… took Abbas at his word.
Like the New York Times: Mahmoud Abbas Shifts on Holocaust
Interesting that the NYT did not seem to look critically at Abbas’ statement:
“….The Palestinian people, who suffer from injustice, oppression and denied freedom and peace, are the first to demand to lift the injustice and racism that befell other peoples subjected to such crimes….”
(Translation: Ok, you Jews suffered in the Holocaust. Yes, we Palestinians can certainly sympathize with you, because right now we too are suffering, at the hands of the Israelis.)
Furthermore, the description of Abbas as a Holocaust-denier was never 100% accurate.
No, he was much more subtle in his cravenness:
In 1982, Abbas received a Ph.D. His dissertation was entitled “The Other Side: the Secret Relationship Between the Nazis and the Leaders of Zionism 1933-1945.”
Catchy title…
The question that really should be asked of Abbas is not if he ever denied the Holocaust, but rather who he says is responsible for it.
Via Israel National News: Report: Abbas’ Holocaust-Denial Disseration Widely-Taught in PA
Research by the Center for Near East Policy Research Center has found that the doctoral dissertation of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas “stars” throughout the Palestinian Authority educational curriculum, and “is the basis for Holocaust studies in the PA….”
Excerpts:
• “It seems that the interest of the Zionist movement, however, is to inflate this figure so that their gains will be greater… This led them to emphasize this figure [six million] in order to gain the solidarity of international public opinion with Zionism.”
• “A partnership was established between Hitler’s Nazis and the leadership of the Zionist movement … [the Zionists 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….”
Abbas still allows the Palestinian Authority to use his book as anti-Israel propaganda.
And now, he embraces Hamas.
Here is a children’s cartoon on a Hamas-run TV station, via Daily Caller:

Great post Shifra, thanks. The video is a stark reminder of what we are up against. These children are programmed at a very early age to hate and that is going to be difficult to overcome.
Thank you Shifra! Shifra & Patricia I have been aware of the hatred programming of children, but this children’s show officially flattened me. Just realized Abbas was once one of these little kids. There is not a comment I can make that each TAM has not already thought, so please know, I am in prayer over G-d’s protection of Israel & the children of the world.
This is CHILD ABUSE! Our tax dollars go to this child abuse. Crickets on the left. What about the right?
Even worse: How can you talk peace with someone who is brainwashed to kill you?
So it seems “the most heinous crime to have occurred against humanity in the modern era” was arranged by Jews, as a feint in their ongoing conspiracy to invade the Middle East and destroy the indigenous peoples. It’s all part of that big Jewish plan, as revealed in the Protocols. Oh, those rascally Jews!
Excellent post, Shifra. I’ve seen this horrible video before, and it still turns my stomach. This level of hatred instilled into the minds of small children is beyond evil. Pure and simple. As Israel will be resolute in her firm resolve to survive, we must stand with her, and pray always.
