Syrian President Bashar Assad earlier this week declared that there is no evidence that six million Jews were killed during the Holocaust and accused the United States of funding the German Nazi party.
In a video of a speech by Assad translated and published by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) on Monday, Assad can be seen telling a listening crowd that “there is no evidence that six million Jews were killed” during the Holocaust.
“True, there were concentration camps, but what shows you that this is a politicized issue, not a humanitarian one and not a real one, is that we talk about these six million, but why don’t we talk about the 26 million Soviets who were killed in that war? Are the six million more precious?”
I hate Assad but this title is not accurate. He is just doing the classic “disputing the 6 million Jews” number and secondly whataboutisming the amount of Russians killed by the Nazi’s that are never mentioned but are far greater
He did not deny the entire holocaust.
I do agree with his second point a bit but the first one is just stupid.
Hope Assad lands up in a ditch soon.
