It's sad to see that people are being deceived, even concerning something that is so well known as the Holocaust during World War II. Try and explain to the many thousands of survivors of the Holocaust that what they had to endure was actually not real!! Imagine that for a moment!

Here is something that may contribute. Last weekend on the History Channel there was a documentary about the fact that the Bath Party of the Arab World is an Arab Version of the Nazi Movement. The founders of the Bath Party were enamored with Adolph Hitler and his Nazi Party. They sent representatives to Germany in the years leading up to WW2 to learn about the Nazi movement and incorporated a lot of Nazism into the Bath Movement.

I am not surprised. The Grand Mufti in pre-Israel "Palestine," was an ally of Hitler and promised support from the Arab world to Hitler. He, in fact, travelled to Germany to personally offer his support to Hitler.

It is also not surprising that Mein Kampf is still a best seller in the Arab world.

The head of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, the main opposition force in parliament, echoed Iran's president on Thursday in describing the World War Two Holocaust of European Jews as a myth.

"Western democracy has attacked everyone who does not share the vision of the sons of Zion as far as the myth of the Holocaust is concerned," Mohamed Mahdi Akef said in a statement.

Those are the first sentences of the article. You know what is so ignorant about the Arabs denying the Holocaust? They use holocaust imagery to describe the way that Israel is treating the Palestinians. The accusation has been made over and over again, that Israel is mimicking the Nazis in their treatment of Palestinians. On the one hand, the Arabs deny the Holocaust, and on the other, they claim that the Jews are imitating the very tactics the Arab world claims never happened in the first place!

If Israel were trying to imitate the Holocaust they are not doing a very good job of it. From 2000 to 2004, apx. 3,000 Palestinians had died since the beginning of the intifada. That includes all those who died as suicide bombers and were killed by the PA as supposed "collaborators" with Israel. But for the sake of argument... If you were to assume that Israel was responsible for all of the deaths of those 3000 Palestinians, at a rate of 750 per year, it would take Israel 8,000 years to approach the same number of Jewish casualties in the Holocaust.

That shows just how ignorant and irrational the Arab world is when it comes to the Holocaust. There is more evidence for the Holocaust than there is evidence that slavery existed in the United States. And evidence for slavery in the United States is itself overwhelming. How much more so the Holocaust?
