Columnist for Egyptian Government Daily: The Nazis Did Not Massacre
the Jews
In an article titled "Israel's Lies" in the Egyptian government
evening
paper Al-Masaa, columnist Hisham Abd Al-Rauf wrote that there were
no
massacres of the Jews during World War II, and that the gas
chambers were
intended for disinfecting clothing. Hitler, he wrote, was not
against the
Jews, and had even permitted Jews to emigrate to Palestine during
his first
years in power. (1)
The following are excerpts:
"The Execution Chambers Were No More Than Rooms for Disinfecting
Clothing"
"The world is truly discriminative and oppressing. Israel spreads
whatever
lies it wants, and the so-called 'cultural' world congratulates it
and views
these lies as absolute indisputable facts. Israel refers to
Palestine as a
land without a people, which was inhabited by a people without a
land, who
established its country there. Sometimes it refers to Palestine as
the land
of the Jewish people who returned to it after long years of exile
and
diaspora.
"Even the 1948 war, which led to the declaration of the
establishment of
[the State of] Israel [is called], in the language of falsification
and
terror, the 'War of Independence,' in which the Jewish people
participated.
"Sometimes Israel reminds the 1948 Arabs [i.e., the Israeli Arabs]
that it
did them a favor by letting them continue [to live] within its
borders,
which have not yet been settled. Israel claims that the land of
Israel
belongs historically to the Jewish people alone!
"We've had enough of the lies and the falsification of the facts
with which
the [Israeli] textbooks are replete. The most serious lie is the
Jews'
Holocaust, which they have exploited in order to extort global
solidarity.
"When Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad refutes this lie, the
entire
world is up in arms, and the Iranian president is inundated with
accusations
of madness, fanaticism, and falsification. [Ahmadinejad] was
inundated with
these accusations even though he did nothing more than state the
truth,
which a number of honest researchers have [also] reached.
"What this truth means is that these massacres, which Israel
alleges that
the Nazis perpetrated against the Jews, never happened. The famous
execution
chambers [i.e., the gas chambers] were no more than rooms for
disinfecting
clothing."
"It has Also Been Proven That Hitler was Not Against the Jews,
as
Disseminated by the Zionist Historians"
"According to what we know, [the most recent of these researchers]
is the
courageous British historian David Irving, who paid a heavy price
for his
courage. Some other historians have proven that some of the
massacres
alleged to have been perpetrated against the Jews in World War II
were
carried out in coordination with the Jewish leadership, in an
effort to push
[the Jews] to emigrate to Palestine.
"It has also been proven that Hitler was not against the Jews,
as
disseminated by the Zionist historians, but that on the contrary,
he
permitted 120,000 Jews to emigrate to occupied Palestine in his
first years
in power, in order to appease the Jews.
"The onslaught against the Iranian president has intensified merely
because
he posed a logical and proper question to the Western countries,
which
planted Israel in the heart of the Islamic world, and which
protected and
continue to protect it. If you feel sorry for the poor Jews, why
don't you
establish their country on your lands?!"
