P A President Abbas has a PhD in Holocaust denial. The state of Israel was not the result of the Holocaust. It was a result of the break up of the Ottoman Empire into many smaller states post WW 1. Strange that the Germans do not deny the Holocaust while the Arabs and Iranians do.
2. #1, Sherlock

The Germans, despite being the culprits, didn't have a part of Germany carved out to form Israel. It was the Pals who got kicked out of their homes as atonement for the crimes of the Germans

You got it backwards & upside down. The Pals did not get kicked out of their homes. Their leaders told them to leave their homes because all the Jews were going to be killed. Is that plain enough for you to understand what happened? Read some history about the region, learn the truth, before you make a complete fool of yourself. The truth is well documented.
4. #2 It was the Egyptian Jews and others who got kicked out

#2 Don't revise history. It was most of the 900,000 Jews lioving in Arab countries like Egypt, Syria, Libya who got kicked out of our countries.
5. Weird they exhibit the Holocaust....
William ,   Israel   (02.04.14)
but block any Jews from going to Tunisia, even those from Europe were ran from the country during the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Arab lands.
6. #2 - The League of Nations vote was in 1922
William ,   Israel   (02.04.14)
WWII didn't begin for over a decade later. First, most "Palestinians" didn't own their own property. They were either renters from the absent Sultans or they squatted (stole) open land wen they arrived as migrants looking for work. Second, Jews that arrived as immigrants for decades up to WWII purchased land and then resided on it. No one was "pushed out of their homes", unless you want to speak of Jews who where ethnically cleansed in 1949 from Jerusalem, Hebron, Jericho, Shechem, etc. Third, the Jews of Germany also didn't call for a destruction of Germany or a replacement of Germans. Arabs, despite being offered to build the State together chose genocidal war, just 3 years after the biggest genocide war in human history had concluded. Pretty big difference, Chutia. Now, go ask your local Imam about this truth...with your husband's permission, of course.

in Tunis was a forced labour camp that was build by Mussolini, Tunisians just look at it as history of the place, it isn't like they care about jews. and yes Tunisians jews from the camps were send to consentration camps in Europe.
