HAMAS LEADER MASHAAL: NAZI HOLOCAUST 'EXAGGERATED'

On same the day that US President George W. Bush announced a new push for Middle East Peace and directly urged Hamas to renounce violence and recognize Israel, Khaled Mashaal, the terrorist group's Damascus-based leader, took a page from Iranian President Ahmadinejad by declaring that the Nazi Holocaust was "exaggerated" and charged "what Israel did to the Palestinians was many, many times worse than what the Nazis did to the Jews".

Mashaal made his comments about the Holocaust before an audience of 150 people at the Qaradawi Forum in Doha, Qatar. Responding to a question from a German participant at a Seminar in Qatar, Mashaal said in part, that "Germany is being blackmailed over the Holocaust," adding that "I do not want to deny the facts of the Holocaust," but, "we do not want to give in to the exaggeration... [of the Holocaust] being inflated and blown out of proportion...What Israel did to the Palestinians is many, many times worse than what the Nazis did to the Jews".

The Forum's sponsor, Sheikh Youssef Qaradawi, is the top authority of the Muslim Brotherhood and has issued fatwas in the past validating Palestinian suicide bombings--including by women-- as "martyrdom" operations. During his speech, Mashaal thanked Qaradawi for remaining resolute in his support for Palestinian terrorist operations even after September 11th.

How can this bloke be soooo stupid? Worse than the nazis did to jews... Next, he`s going to say that all the palestinians are saints and prophets who never commited mistakes nor wrongdoing in their lives...

You display stupidity and ignorance. This is the source of the problem in the region. Too many cretins with strong ideas.

But if I must have enemies, they might just as well be cretins. The brain is a most dangerous weapon...

The Holocaust did not happen and those 6 million jews are still alive and living secretly in Israel...Adolf Hitler never excist and was in fact Charly Chaplin and we are now convinced that Worldwar II is a hoax. We don´t believe it ever happened!

Didn't King David murder a man so he could steal his wife?

[oldjoe5]

What does the Holocaust have to do with the illegal occupation of the G heights, W Bank, et al?

And, in many ways, the Holocaust is absolutley exaggerated.
