The following are reports published today, from MEMRI’s Special Dispatch series and the MEMRI TV Project.
Special Dispatch No. 3908— Hamas/Palestinians/Tom Lantos Archives on Holocaust Denial and Antisemitism Documentation Project Articles in Hamas Media on How Jews Gained From Holocaust:'The Holocaust Is One of the Widest Doorways Through Which Jews Entered the Western World'On January 19, 2011, the website Palestine-info.info, which is associated with Hamas, published an antisemitic article by columnist 'Abd Al-'Aziz Kahil. The following day, the Gaza-based Hamas publication Falastin published another antisemitic article by Huda Baroud. The articles, which question the scope of the Holocaust and the existence of the gas chambers, claim that Jews cynically exploit the story of the Holocaust to sow guilt in the West, as a way to achieve their national and economic goals. Following are excerpts from both articles: Kahil: "The Holocaust Is One of the Widest Doorways Through Which Jews Entered the Western World" 'Abd Al-'Aziz Kahil wrote: "The Holocaust is one of the widest doorways through which Jews entered the Western world. Thanks to it, they have enjoyed support, triggered emotions, shaped ideas, prevented [people] from using their brains, and accumulated a massive fortune. In its name, they committed and still commit [various] forms of mental/ideological terror and political and media takeover. They have transformed the persecution of the Jews by the Nazis – regardless of its veracity, scope, and secrets – into a sin that the entire world carries on its back... [presenting it not as] a historical event but more as a scientific truth that can never be reassessed... but only confirmed and reinforced – so much so that in Western Europe, examining it has become a shameful crime, which causes [doubters] to be placed on trial, even if they rely on official documents, living testimony, journalistic research, or academic writing.

MEMRI TV Clip No. 2959 - PA President Mahmoud Abbas: 'We Refuse to Recognize a Jewish State'Following are excerpts from an interview with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, which aired on Palestinian Authority TV on June 2, 2011:
Mahmoud Abbas: "With regard to [Palestinian recognition] of a Jewish state, or whatever, this has never been an issue. Throughout the negotiations between the Israeli and us, from 1993 until a year ago, we never heard the words 'Jewish state.' Now, they have begun to talk about it, and our response was: 'Go to the UN, and call yourselves whatever you want. We are not the party to address. Not only that – we refuse to recognize a Jewish state. Try to wrest it out of the UN or anyone else.'" To view this clip on MEMRI TV, visit http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/2959.htm. |
