đź§µ Things Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (the moderate) has said about Jews, Zionism, and the Holocaust:
- The Holocaust and all massacres against Jews in Europe from the 11th century on, were not because they were Jews, but because of their role in society (usury, banks).
- there wasn't a single incident of jews being massacred in Arab land in 1400 years 2/ memri.org/tv/pa-presiden…
- Joseph Stalin was a jew
- Hitler helped Jews move to Palestine because he wanted the jewish state to be loyal to him.
- jews didn't move to Israel out of longing for Zion, the Europeans wanted to plant a foreign body in the region. 3/ memri.org/tv/pa-presiden…
From his doctoral dissertation:
- probably less than a million Jews were killed in the Holocaust
- Zionists collaborated with Nazis in annihilation of Jews in order to prompt jews to move to palestine. 4/ memri.org/reports/he-sai…
(from dissertation cont.)
- Zionists use the holocaust to justify their actions which includes nazi-style annihilation of arabs.
- The goal of Zionism is to create an Empire in the middle east called Greater Israel 5/ memri.org/reports/he-sai…
From book:
- Zionists inflated the number of Jews killed in the holocaust to gain sympathy for their cause
- many jews died due to normal war conditions
- gas chambers were not designed for killing people but for preventing spread of disease 6/ memri.org/reports/he-sai…
- US and Britain created Israel to get rid of their Jews, and also for their colonialist benefits
- Israel lies and lies, like Goebbels said
- Israel has been digging for 30 years under Al-Aqsa and found nothing that connects them to it 7/ memri.org/tv/pa-presiden…
Remember, Jews learned the wrong lesson from the holocaust. After 2k years of being tossed around and persecuted, they should have remained stateless and unable to protect themselves. Jews forced out of iraq, syria, yemen, ethiopia, etc etc should have had nowhere to flee to
"But I believe in the brotherhood of all men" that's nice, what about all the people who don't believe in this? What is your solution to protecting against them?
And do you know how many people claimed to believe in this brotherhood and still persecuted jews and others?
And often jews are persecuted or at least looked down upon precisely because of this belief that everyone is the same and jews are considered stubborn for trying to maintain a distinct identity
"Israel is the only Middle-Eastern country where the Christian population has grown since 1948."
in most M-E countries the christian population has grown. the only place it's dropped significantly is in Turkey, or more recently Syria and Iraq. 1/4 gordonconwell.edu/wp-content/upl…
2/4 if you're looking at percentage of the population (from 1910) then most countries have dropped. Significant drops are in Lebanon (-43%), Turkey (20), Syria (10), and Palestine (10). Egypt, Israel, Iraq, Jordan and Iran have had a drop less than 10%.
3/4 countries with an increase in christian percentage of population are the oil rich gulf states (Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar) where they have imported large pop of migrant workers.
Overall in the M-E the christian percentage has dropped and muslim increased.
