"Recognizing the Holocaust more dangerous than calling Israel a Jewish State"

The inevitable Arab backlash against Mahmoud Abbas' cynical but explicit recognition of the Holocaust has begun.

Naturally, it is starting in an Egyptian newspaper but from a Jordanian writer.

Dr. Ibrahim Alloush (a high percentage of Arab antisemites have advanced degrees, it seems) writes in El Badil that for Arabs to recognize the Holocaust is even more dangerous than having them recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

Alloush, after describing how Israel manipulates the Holocaust to force the world to accede to its evil plots, then stages a full, sickening example of Holocaust denial. He says that there was no Nazi plan to exterminate the Jews, that there were not six million Jews even living in Europe under Nazi rule, and that not a single Jew died in a gas chamber - only a few hundred thousand from starvation and disease, at most.

He ends off saying that the words "Israel" and "Holocaust" must always be placed in quotes, since neither of them are real.

Alloush has written for, and been interviewed by, many media outlets. He has a website called Free Arab Voice and another called NoZion as well as a Twitter account where he spouts his hate and posts links to his articles.

This guy teaches at a Jordanian university.

But I don't think that any academic organizations in the US or Europe will be upset about what Alloush is presumably teaching his students. No, professors spouting Holocaust denial is fine, especially if they are Arab, because, you know, freedom of speech trumps unimportant things like truth. You will find no condemnations from Lisa Duggan or Judith Butler or anyone else involved in  progressive, liberal academic associations who say that Israeli Jews building houses are the worst violations of human rights imaginable.
