The Holocaust...and Don Quixote's Wars

Written by: Ziyad Abu Ziyad

There is no doubt that there is a great exaggeration in the Don Quixote battle now raging between those who revolted against President Abbas because of his use of the Holocaust adjective in describing the daily Israeli war crimes against our people, and those who rose to defend the president as if we were in a war against Germany and not Against the Zionist Jewish influence in it. And if the matter was confined to the official clarification issued by the office of the president, we would have let the hostile trumpets croak until they got tired and fell silent without paying any attention to them, as happened when you tried to exploit the president’s saying about Trump “he will destroy your house”! .. and failed in that.

The President talked about the daily massacres against our people, and his speech came at the same time that the secrets of the brutal massacres that were committed against our people in many Palestinian villages and towns by Jewish gangs during the 1948 war are revealed, and some of these secrets are reinforced by video films and interviews with Jewish people who carried out these massacres and who say while laughing sometimes and smiling at other times that they do not know how many Palestinians they killed - because they were killed - and that they were not taking prisoners and that they were killing en masse those who surrendered to them and sat blindfolded and surrounded by barbed wire. So they fired machine guns at them from zero distance and in cold blood, and some of them talked about acts of rape, looting and other crimes to say the least that they are war crimes, and these days an Israeli film about the Tantura massacre is being shown, and a number of chilling videos are circulating on social media. We are all witnessing with our own eyes these days the acts of killing and abuse that are practiced against us, the elderly, children and women on a daily basis. ‏

There is no doubt that when the president talks about what happened and is happening to his people, he speaks with bitterness and pain, reaching, without realizing it, the point of emotion and anger. And everyone knows that it is not permissible to hold a person accountable for a word or phrase uttered by him in a moment of anger. What the president issued could have been dealt with as an unintentional slip of the tongue in a moment of anger, but the Jewish and Zionist trumpets could not miss an opportunity to remind the world of the Holocaust and Nazism and continue to practice blackmail against the Germans and Europeans as responsible for the crimes of Nazism. They found in the president's slip of the tongue an opportunity that they could not miss to practice that blackmail

We all share the President's anger and frustration with the world's failure to condemn the crimes being committed against our people, and we and he do not deny that the Nazi era and the crimes it committed, including the Holocaust, will remain a stain on humanity for many generations to come. It must be mentioned here that the Holocaust, in which six million Jews are said to have been killed, was not the only crime committed by the Nazis. Rather, there were 22 million Russians killed among those killed by Nazi Germany during World War II. ‏

The world must understand how disappointed we are with its double standards, because despite everything that happened to our people during the 1948 war and what has continued to happen to them since then until today, it constitutes a continuous calamity, but the world, hypocritically and lyingly, does not move a finger about what is going on. Ours, shakes, revolts and gets angry when it comes to Jews or other European peoples, as is the case in Ukraine these days. ‏

Our problem on the media level lies in the fact that we do not present our case well to the world, and that we sometimes do not realize the sensitivity of some words and phrases to the Western audience, and sometimes we do not realize the amount of pressure that the Jewish and Zionist propaganda machine in Europe and America can exert on everyone who beggars. It is the same to prejudice Jewish interests and the tools it uses to blackmail the West, foremost of which is the weapon of the "Holocaust" and anti-Semitism, just as we do not think when we deal with the West in the same way they think, nor with the standards they use. Although the simplest rules of political action require all of this.

Once again, I say that it is wrong to consider the exaggerated reactions by Jewish and Zionist parties in Germany, or parties subject to their influence, to the president's statements, as an opportunity to wage a battle of words against official or unofficial German parties. Germany is trying to hold the stick in the middle, as it cannot deny its history, nor can it abandon its responsibility for that history. At the same time, it is trying to provide financial support to the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian people, as it has more than once stood by the rights of our people. ‏

Germany is a very important European country, and it even stands at the head of the European Community, and our relationship with it must receive the necessary attention.
