1. what a worthless and petty attempt

like arabs will care about the so called "holocaust" as long as jews are committing crimes against palestinians no one will be interested in your whining and sniveling victimization tricks. holocaust is most likely a lie anyways, anne frank died of typhus and not gassing. there never was 6 million jews in europe at the time and jews claimed 6 million figure at least 19 times in history before 1945. a small investigation would easily expose this holohoax nonsense.
2. Abbas studied Holocaust denial so he already knows about it

Just came across this article. I am sure it will prompt many readers to suggest it is a useless approach as a majority of the Arab audience will either ignore the facts or even support revisionist views as it suggests in the title. Unfortunately, I suppose you may be right as far as extremists are concerned, yet, I am sure there is also a vast number of average people who have just not been confronted with the subject (even if this seems unbelievable). A colleague of mine says her Moroccan partner (who now lives in Germany) had heard about the Holocaust vaguely but had no idea of the scope and the inconceivable crime against an entire people, until he was taken for a visit to Auschwitz during a business trip and was deeply shocked. Whether this will have any effect on today's situation, I cannot say but it is one way to try and raise awareness and promote tolerance, therefore worth supporting - even if it is only a drop in the ocean...
