In 1969, a Saudi envoy justified the Holocaust at the UN

At the UN General Assembly 679th Special Political Committee Meeting on December 1, 1969, the Saudi representative Jamil Baroody said some interesting things about Jews.

After repeating what many Arab representatives had claimed since 1947 - that Jews are not really Jews but descended from Khazars and therefore have no business living in the Middle East - he engaged in a bit of justification for the Holocaust:

He then described the relations between the Jews and Nazi Germany. He quoted an article from The New York Times of 7 August 1933, in which Mr. Samuel Untermeyer, after returning from a meeting at which it had been decided to prosecute an economic boycott of Germany to undermine the Hitler regime, had stated that the boycott was a holy war designed to bring the German people to their senses by destroying their export trade on which their very existence depended. Hitler, who had only just taken power, had been forced to react against a movement which had threatened the country's very existence. 

He then quoted a passage from the book Back Door to War; the Roosevelt Foreign Policy, 1933-1941 by Charles Callan Tansill, a professor at Georgetown University; the latter, referring to a conversation between Mr. Clifton, Mr. Utley and Mr. Schoenfeld, who was at present a member of the United States State Department, wrote that the concentration camp at Dachau was well organized; that the discipline of the inmates was excellent and their health was apparently satisfactory...The speaker was by no means seeking to condone the inhuman brutalities perpetrated by the Nati regime; however, he felt that the blockade recommended by the Jews had maddened Hitler. 

The theme was that Jews are liars, fakers, and there was justification for them being murdered.

The New York Times article does discuss the boycott of Germany but Untermyer never said that it was a "holy war meant to bring the German people to their senses." 

 

The book Back Door to War; the Roosevelt Foreign Policy, 1933-1941 does say that Mr. Clifton M. Utley, director of the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, described Dachau that way in 1935. However, in 1935 the Germans had set up Dachau as a model concentration camp to show to foreign visitors, what Utley saw was not in the least like how it was, let alone in the following years where thousands were executed.

All of this was well known in 1969. 

Baroody's false claims had nothing at all to do with Israel or Palestinians. It is nothing but pure Jew-hatred.

A hatred that is denied, despite massive evidence, to this very day.
