Aide to Egyptian President Morsi claims Holocaust a US hoax

Loading

Paul Alster @ Fox News:

A key figure in Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi’s government called the Holocaust a hoax cooked up by U.S. intelligence operatives and claimed the 6 million Jews who were killed by Nazis simply moved to the U.S.

The outrageous claims, by Fathi Shihab-Eddim, a senior figure close to President Morsi who is now responsible for appointing the editors of all state-run Egyptian newspapers, came as the world marked Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27, and also as the U.S. continues to assess its relationship with the increasingly radical Arab state.

“The myth of the Holocaust is an industry that America invented,” Shihab-Eddim said, leaving no room for doubt that the Egyptian government — like Iran’s — has at the very least significant elements that deny humanity’s greatest crime of all.

“U.S. intelligence agencies in cooperation with their counterparts in allied nations during World War II created it [the Holocaust] to destroy the image of their opponents in Germany, and to justify war and massive destruction against military and civilian facilities of the Axis powers, and especially to hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki with the atomic bomb,” Shihab-Eddim said.

The ludicrous claims were especially worrisome to Israeli experts who have been watching since the Muslim Brotherhood Morsi administration took over the Egyptian government in elections last summer, following the ouster of Hosni Mubarak, who maintained good relations with Israel. Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center in New York, said Shihab-Eddin’s comments were as troubling as they were ridiculous.

“Fathi goes on to claim that the 6 million Jews all really moved to the United States during the war (and oddly no one noticed) and that the number of Jews killed in the war was about the number who died in traffic accidents,” Greenfield wrote in Frontpagemag.com.

Yet the Islamic world hopes to make a new Holocaust Day even if it irradiates most of their own lands too!

Nan G
that’s a good argument yes,
why do they want to deny the HOLOCAUST?
I think because the MULTI WORK HARD ON HITLER TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN,
HE IS RESPONSIBLE AS MUCH ,
WHEN Iheard about the MULTI BEHING THE SHADOW OF HITLER,
I UNDERSTOOD BECAUSE OF THE HATE OF THE JEWS THE MUSLIMS CARRY LIKE A CROSS,AND THE OPPORTUNITY WAS THERE,WITH HIS INFLUENCE OVER HITLER
TO MAKE THE JEWS THE SACRIFICE LAMB HE THOUGHT WOULD FOREVER GET RID OF .
IT WAS EASY BECAUSE HITLER ALREADY WAS HATING THE JEWS, HE WAS JEALOUS OF THEIR SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE, AND COULD NOT BARE TO HAVE THEM KNOWN MORE SUPERIOR THAN THE ARIAN RACE HE FOCUS ON BEING THE ONLY SUPERIOR,
HE WAS BEATEN BY ANOTHER MORE SUPERIOR RACE THE AMERICANS, ALONG WITH THE CANADIANS AND BRITISH ,
HITLER NEVER EXPECTED THEM TO BE ABLE TO BEAT HIM
