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?”
Sorry. Can’t really hear anything behind all those slaughtered Syrian citizens.
This guy is such a moron.
No, he’s pretty smart - he knows he can get away with spewing complete bullshit.
3,196 Syrian Palestinians Were Killed by Syrian Regime Forces, including 491 Due to Torture, Between March 2011 and July 2020. Just in case you want to cheer for the guy because you hate Israel.
Fuck Assad, fuck Isreal, and fuck Hamas. The holocaust is real and killed many innocent jews and so is the Palestinian genocide that is happening right now by zionist.
Yeah let’s just ignore how the Assad family have been pursuing a “foreign policy” goal that basically amounts to, “Lebensraum but Alewite”
This is a state for which the resolution to both the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and Cyprus/North Cyprus conflict is, “ALL WILL BE CRUSHED BENEATH THE BOOT OF THE ASSAD DYNASTY!”
This man is a war criminal and a sham. What a dumb thing to say.
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.
