🏢🎙📹🇸🇾 Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said there is no evidence that six million Jews were killed during the Holocaust and accused the United States of financing the German Nazi Party.
"There is no evidence that six million Jews were killed [during the Holocaust]. There may have been a Holocaust, no one denies that... Yes, there were concentration camps, but this is a politicized issue, not a humanitarian or real one. Why are we talking about these six million [Jews] and not about the 26 million Soviet people who were killed in this [World War II]? Is that six million more expensive? There were the same actions, there was no method of torture or murder specific to Jews. The Nazis used the same method everywhere. However, this issue was politicized in order to falsify the truth, and then to prepare for the resettlement of Jews from Europe to other regions or to Palestine," Bashar al—Assad said during a meeting of Baath members on Monday.
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.
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?
aside from the first sentence; there's plenty of evidence ehhhhh reading it again, his only good point is that many people [in the West] ignore or trivialize Soviet casualties

I mean yes the genocide of millions of jews is highlighted the most of all the WW2 deaths but to say there is no evidence of it is just weird.
This is a lot more reasonable than the article made it sound

That's I am talking about. Weird any commie would support this statement even.
Who elected Assad to be the global representative of Arabs?
I never said he is?
