    No it’s not. He’s willfully ignoring the mountains of evidence that the Nazis did indeed deliberately target European Jewish people and almost wiped their population out. They targeted other groups, sure. But antisemitic conspiracies were an explicit part of their entire ideology. Yeah, the legacy of the Holocaust is distorted and weaponized by the West, but his statement is one of Holocaust denial.

    This is an L. And his take doesn’t help the struggle against Israel or the global reputation of Arabs.

        I never said he is?

        But we gotta acknowledge that Holocaust denial coming from an Arab leader – one that Marxists generally support – doesn’t exactly help in a time while activists and Arabs are being censored en masse for “antisemitism”
