Anti Defamation League condemns the remarks saying, "comments are a disturbing reminder of the virulent anti-Semitism promoted by Hamas."

The Anti Defamation League condemned the remarks made by a senior Hamas official on Thursday, who claimed that the Holocaust was "a lie that has crumbled," and suggested that Israel had committed "countless Holocausts" on the Palestinian people.

Mahmud Zahar, a senior leader of Hamas made the remarks during a memorial service for 43 Palestinians killed at a UN school in the Jabaliya refugee camp during an Israeli military incursion into Gaza in December 2008.

ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman issued a statement, "once again, the abhorrent and hateful philosophy of Hamas has reared its ugly head, polluting the public square with Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism. These comments are a disturbing reminder of the virulent anti-Semitism promoted by Hamas and the ongoing threat the group poses to Israel.

Islam is a lie.

About 2 or 3 years back a Palestinian minister of one type or another said something close to the following.

"Yes there was a Holocaust. But it was not Jews being shoved in the ovens. Instead, it was the Jews that were shoving Palestinian children into the ovens. That was the real Holocaust!"

Oh he does.

Did Prophet Muhammad ordered 900 Jews killed at Banu Qurayza

can’t make up their jew-hating pea brains whether to deny it or cheer it... what maroons

sarc on / Of course the Haolocust was a lie -- the 6 million Jews who were supposedly killed were actually transported by secret UFOs to the planet Korriban and they came back 50 years later as super-planetary supermen. / sarc off

These Hamas guys are so brain-dead it's impossible.

Hamas leader claims Holocaust was a lie, and what's more, the Jews were asking for it.

[Senator John Blutarski]

For the fanatic, any lie will do if it advances the agenda.

Return Medina to The Jews!

Don't know if you saw the story about Helen Thomas getting a gig with some small Virginia paper or their blog. I went to look and many of the comments there are quite scary. I think the Nazis would have been a bit softer. But it's clear that these people have rallied around a leader. Anyway I foolishly made a comment about the right of the folks in Sderot have to defend themselves. Then I was told that the "Palestinian" village of Najd was destroyed to make room for Sderot and the Jews had no right to it anyway. So I wrote:

So lets see ... Today, according to Rashid Khalidi, "some old trees grow" on the site of the village (Najd). It is "overgrown with cactuses and Christ's thorn and sycamore trees and contains the crumbled walls of unidentified buildings...."

So who should I believe: You or your boy Khalidi?

Do you want to give Medina back to the descendants of its ancient inhabitants too?

There was a really funny response which I see has now been deleted. Let's just say the guy didn't like me.

If you look, you should also observe the counts of people who "liked" various comments. I'm not sure how this works but maybe the first person gets to have his name so one post says at the bottom "Adolph liked this." You have to admire some people's sense of humor.
