In reply to the discussion: Palestinian official: Holocaust was necessary because 'Jews planned to take over Germany' [View all]Beastly Boy
(9,573 posts)38. Yasser Aby Sido is certainly not a legitimate source of factual information.
But I am not citing facts, I am citing an instance of rabid antisemitism. A sample of what he said was included. I don't know Arabic, but I distinctly heard him refer to Hitler. If you are challenging the accuracy of the provided translation, or Aby Sido opening his mouth and saying the words attributed to him, or the fact he did so during an interview on Egyptian TV while the cameras were rolling and recording him saying what he said, by all means, cite your sources and make your case.
You are calling all of the above obvious disinformation. By all means, find better sources that make this obvious. It's not helpful when you tell me to do it.

It's an accurate example of a long-time, well established belief among many Palestinians.

Is the translation inaccurate? Because that's all they did: translate into English

Disinformation? Are you suggesting that there aren't a large number of Muslims and Hamas lovers that hate Jews?

It is wild how the Palestinian people get no blame for their current situation.

So the 505,000 Jews had enough power to dominate a population of 67 million in Germany.
