      No it’s not. He’s willfully ignoring the mountains of evidence that the Nazis did indeed deliberately target European Jewish people and almost wiped their population out. They targeted other groups, sure. But antisemitic conspiracies were an explicit part of their entire ideology. Yeah, the legacy of the Holocaust is distorted and weaponized by the West, but his statement is one of Holocaust denial.

      This is an L. And his take doesn’t help the struggle against Israel or the global reputation of Arabs.

          I never said he is?

          But we gotta acknowledge that Holocaust denial coming from an Arab leader – one that Marxists generally support – doesn’t exactly help in a time while activists and Arabs are being censored en masse for “antisemitism”

      It’s not reasonable to deny 6 million jews died in Holocaust. There were systematic killings and torture to wipe out European jewry out of existence along with poles but jews were considered as the lowest grade of people. The concentration camps, the death marches and systematic ethnic cleansing carried out by Nazis was recorded by soviet Union. The problem is solely Jewish state based on Palestine is an artificial problem. Why these arabic governments don’t try to address the apartheid in that regard?
