Syrian dictator, who has himself been accused of genocide, says Jews weren't specifically targeted during WWII, claims US funded Nazi Party's rise to power

Syrian President Bashar Assad earlier this week declared that there is no evidence that six million Jews were killed during the Holocaust and accused the United States of funding the German Nazi party.

In a video of a speech by Assad translated and published by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) on Monday, Assad can be seen telling a listening crowd that “there is no evidence that six million Jews were killed” during the Holocaust.

“True, there were concentration camps, but what shows you that this is a politicized issue, not a humanitarian one and not a real one, is that we talk about these six million, but why don’t we talk about the 26 million Soviets who were killed in that war? Are the six million more precious?”

      Then you should perhaps learn to listen? That sounds 100% like an issue only you can solve.

        Perhaps you should learn to listen than because the screams will never stop 😊

          How about I pretend you said this thing instead of what you actually said.
