1. Proves yet again, there is no peace to be had with jIhadist
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (08.02.12)
lying Islamofascists and their supporters. Time for useful idiots to send another "peace flotilla" to Hamastan.
2. A big lie ja?
Jean-Pierre ,   Austria   (08.02.12)
Nein, you have not live in europe. You have no idea about the history of Europe done by a crazy man and crazy mobs. Hitler killed many jews, he even killed Austrians and Germans who are against him, he killed people that like down syndrome and what not.. he was a madman...and it all happened. Many jews died aswell before the times of hitler... You will find people denying it in order to excuse them to kill more jews.. just as people denies Ancient Israel. Go study the babylonians and assysrians and romans and you will find israel was real. But what can you expect, the palestinians are a group of arabs planted by the Arab League to support the destruction of Israel and Jews. It is a complex situation. The arabs are somewhat borned with hate and anger, they are not easy people to make peace with, infact its impossible to make peace with them, they are very cold and hard, look how they live in their own countries, they never try to be positive and loving, but always angry.
3. whith these guys Peres and the rest of leftist want to make
(08.02.12)
peace mmm
4. ATTACK IRAN!!!!
Miron ,   USA   (08.02.12)
5. "Palestinian" opinion wants another Auschwitz.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.02.12)
Of course, criticizing Nazis goes against "Palestinian" opinion. "Palestinians" want another Auschwitz. While Jews commemorate the Holocaust, our "Palestinian peace partners" plan another one. It's plain to see in all their covenants, media, public square and everywhere in their "society".
6. Death /Life Camps
Dennis Hibbard ,   Whittier USA   (08.02.12)
Maybe the Wrong Perspective ,actually. Liberation. HY if a man trust in me though he were dead yet shall he live , Embarrassing to know the evil scheme was made void.
7. Unfortunate.
Ali ,   Washington, DC   (08.02.12)
Unfortunately the conflict has shadowed the holocaust in the eyes of many Palestinians if not most. Understanding it however could bring Palestinians and Jews closer to understanding each other.
8. What is the point of tolerance then?
Baruch ,   Israel   (08.02.12)
If this is the kind of people that they are, and appearantly they are, then why are we expected to show tolerance toward them? I claim a single state, wherever we want it, and on our terms and as soon as possible. If this is their mentality let them relocate to the more ambient hills of Iran.
9. Palestine is a big lie
Dmitriy ,   Chicago, IL   (08.02.12)
What hope is there for peace with a people that denies the Holocaust? While I hate to put down such blatant statement, but who is this Palestinian people? In truth, Palestine is a big lie! Perhaps it is time to stop being appologetic and set the record straight?!
10. Hamas Blasts Palestinian Official's Auschwitz Trip
ltrail ,   United States   (08.02.12)
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum. What a buffoon he really is! Fawzi has seen with his own eyes the truth that hamas and the PA have been lying about for years. There really WAS a holocaust; it wasn't a lie! Just maybe, Fawzi will be able to leave hamas and become a better person. God Bless the G-d of Israel.
11. Evil Arab hatred against innocent Jews re: Auschwitz
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (08.02.12)
These Arabs including the Pal/arabs show no mercy, no sympathy and no shame. How can anyone, especially Jews, live side by side with such a cruel and viscious culture of Arab/Muslim hatred ?
12. Just a reminder
Arturo   (08.02.12)
Surely we wouldn't want to remind the Palestinians what the beloved Hajj Amin al Husseini supported during WWII
13. The REAL big lie...
PaulZion ,   Israel   (08.02.12)
Is the Palestinian claim that they are a nation with a heritage of over 2000 years. Their ethnic and national origins are so diverse that the Encyclopaedia Britannica in its 1911 edition described the population of Palestine at the time as " comprising widely differing etnological groups" and that they speak " no less than 50 different languages and dialects". Does that sound like one united people to you? They can deny the Holocaust as much as they want. It does not change the facts, and trying to impose alternative "truths", both about the Holocaust and about their claims of nationhood shows just what a despicable people these are with whom we have to deal. And the gullible world eats it up like morning porridge.
14. Holocaust "is a big lie."
john ,   uk   (08.02.12)
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum speaks this way and world nations hear him it shows what type of hamas and people like them are they live in denial full of hate Fawzi Barhoum should go and see Auschwitz for himself but he wont and if he did he will say its staged like in films as palistinians and hezbollah do
15. He was probably gathering additional material, for his boss'
tom ,   tel aviv   (08.02.12)
Dr. Abu-Adolf Mazen's next academic work. His doctorate of Shoa- denial from Moscow University needs updating....
16. The Holocaust was not a lie but factual
Alan Smith ,   UK   (08.02.12)
Maybe the Palestinians should be provided with free access to a translated version of the excellent drama-documentary made by the BBC - The Nazis : a warning from history. Of course it doesn't absolve the Israelis from the illegal occupation of the West Bank, nor their right to steal Palestinian land in the name of God and colonialism, but it does give a relatively true perspective on the Holocaust.
17. Every now and then Hamas reminds us what scum they are
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (08.02.12)
Reality check: Hamas are racists, misogynists, and war criminals. They spit on international law and order, they piss on human rights and freedoms. That is Hamas.
18.  claims Holocaust 'a big lie'
Galut ia ,   Selah   (08.02.12)
That is exactly why General Eisenhower had the death camps photographs and filmed...so that no one could say it didn't happen... I remember seeing some of the footage of the death camps in my 8th grade 1961 classroom....just 16 years after eisenhower had it filmed those that wish to rewrite history will help history repeat itself....Sad
19. Arab public opinion
Abie Dee ,   New York, US   (08.02.12)
Allowing Jews to simply exist, goes against Palestinian public opinion...
20. Blasting Auschwitz trip
Abie Dee ,   New York, US   (08.02.12)
Gd forbid a Muslim Arab should actually learn something new and perhaps have a change of mind...THAT is the 'culture' that Romney should have detailed.
21. to #2 the arabs took active rule in the nazi regim
ghostq   (08.02.12)
it's not suprise there, the were very active when it come to get nazi education in the balkan. hitler even built arafat's unkle a house on german soil.
22. two brits bishops claimed the same, british
ghostq   (08.02.12)
religious leaders got alot in common with hamas, and the denile of holocaust, those voices grow stronger in the UK.
23. #16 Doesn't Absolve the Israelis
ltrail ,   United States   (08.02.12)
Mr. Alan Smith. You should study the history of the Arab-Israeli Wars. With regard to the districts of Samaria and Judea, Israel, who was not the agressor, won wars against the Arabs and the districts returned to Jewish ownership by victory. Those parcels were not stolen. How can one steal something that already belonged to the Jews for milleniums?
24. 23 - belonged to the Jews for milleniums?
split ,   US   (08.02.12)
Any visible proof other than your fairy tales that you owned that piece of fallow not just camping there?,...
25. Palestinian official's trip to Auschwitz
Carol Allen ,   Littlehampton, UK   (08.07.12)
Good for Ziad al-Bandek - in understanding the huge loss he can show his maturity and respect humanity. I respect him for this action of tolerance.
