Abbas made this statement in Germany (of all countries). And what was German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s response? Virtually nothing. He expressed regret only after the fact. This is particularly disturbing given the fact that the notorious Arab nationalist, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini, lived in Berlin and worked with Hitler during World War II to implement the “Final Solution,” and that today jihadists worldwide and the Islamic Republic of Iran in particular echo the Nazis’ genocidal imperative. Even prior to Haj Amin al-Husseini’s collaboration with Hitler, he led the Arab revolt against the Jews who were settling in their historic land.
Israel’s Prime Minister Yair Lapid called Abbas’ comments “accusing Israel of having committed ’50 Holocausts’ while standing on German soil is not only a moral disgrace, but a monstrous lie… History will not forgive him.”
“Palestinian Leader Mahmoud Abbas Tells Germany Israel Committed ’50 Holocausts,’” by Joel B. Pollak and Deborah Brand, Breitbart, August 16, 2022:
Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas told Germans on Tuesday, in the presence of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, that Israel had committed “50 Holocausts.”
The shocking remark came at a press conference at the chancellery itself, after a reporter asked him about the 50th anniversary of the Munich massacre next month.
In 1972, Palestinian terrorists from the Black September terror group, which was linked to Abbas’ ruling Fatah party, broke into the Olympic Village where the Israeli athletes were staying, killing two and taking others hostage. They demanded the release of 234 Palestinians in Israeli prisons, as well as members of the German left-wing Baader Meinhoff terror group, who were held in German jails.
The rest of the eleven hostages and a police officer were killed during a failed rescue attempt by West German police.
The Times of Israel reported:
Asked whether as Palestinian leader he planned to apologize to Israel and Germany for the attack ahead of the 50th anniversary, Abbas responded instead by citing allegations of atrocities committed by Israel since 1947.
“If we want to go over the past, go ahead,” Abbas, who was speaking Arabic, told the reporters.
“I have 50 slaughters that Israel committed….50 massacres, 50 slaughters, 50 holocausts,” he said, taking care to pronounce the final word in English.
Scholz, who later expressed regret about Abbas’s remark, is being criticized in the German media for not doing so in real time….

HEY MAHMOUD ! Do you LIE much? What? Are we to believe that 60 million Pallies were killed by Israelis? This is a stupefying exaggeration.
Lying on behalf of Islam is not seen by Muslims as a sin, but a requirement of Sharia law. If the defense of Islam can only be done by lying, then Sharia law says such lying is COMPULSORY.
Once Muslims embark on this practice (called TAQIYYA) it becomes very addictive. Lying about what Islam does or doesn’t teach becomes instinctive and natural. I have seen this over and over.
Muslims use lies as a kind of debating cudgel to stun the opponent so Islam may win through deceit. Muslims consider such lying as ‘HONORABLE’.
Islam is an ‘HONOR/SHAME’ culture and no one who doesn’t know that is unable to understand Muslim communication with KAFIRS.
– “Taqiyya permeates almost all the activities and dealings of Muslims with non-Muslim societies…” – former sheikh Sam Solomon
– “Taqiyya is of fundamental importance in Islam. Practically every Islamic sect agrees to it and practices it … We can go so far as to say that the practice of taqiyya is mainstream in Islam, and that those few sects not practicing it diverge from the mainstream … Taqiyya is very prevalent in Islamic politics, especially in the modern era.” – Sami Mukaram, At-Taqiyya fi ‘l-Islam (London: Mu’assisat at-Turath ad-Druzi, 2004)
However, it is just plain stupid for Mahmoud Abbas to try to teach Germans about the Holocaust of the Six Million.

BTW … 50 x 6 million = 300,000,000. Abbas claimed that 300,000,000 Pallies were killed by Israelis.
mortimer says
Addendum: AN EXAMPLE OF ARAB MATHEMATICS? No doubt, Abbas and many others are HOLOCAUST DENIERS who claim the Nazis ‘only’ murdered 600,000 Jews. But multiplying low figure that by 50 still gives 30,000,000 Pallies who are claimed by be victims of an alleged genocide perpetrated by Israel.
Even 30,000,000 Pally victims is many times more than all the Pallies who are claimed ever to have existed.
It’s not even a slightly credible lie. Such an exaggeration is aimed at the stupidest, most credulous and most uneducated in society.

Any lie, no matter how outrageous and ridiculous (where’s the proof for this Abbas bullshit artist’s claims) will do for these Palestinian “leaders” and Muslims in general. They are always completely off the planet in terms of the exaggeration that they indulge in. Islam will do that to the human mind. Rationality seems to be destroyed by islam along with so much else. Maybe this Abbas character should look at all the endless victims of islam, around 270 million so far, during islam’s appalling, murderous 1400 year histroy.

PA’s Abbas tells Germany’s Scholz that Israel has committed ’50 Holocausts’
…………………………………………
So Israel has killed 300 million “Palestinians”? This is odd, since the local Muslim population is still growing.
In reality, it is “Palestinian” Muslims who have called for the destruction of Israel and the genocide of the Jews.
Of course, this is all bs–and that Olaf Scholz’s basically gave him a pass is disgusting–but scarcely surprising.
Andrew Blackadder says
The EU and the USA needs to send even more money to fat ass Abbas and ask him gently to stop calling us bad names otherwise we will be offended…
FYI… I was one of three men that was in charge of the main Keys for the Sporthalle in the Munich Games in 1972, I was living in the Olympic Village when this happened, we were taken out in the middle of the night without knowing why until much later, I was in love with a woman from Tel Aviv at that time and one of the Athletes that was murdered was her first boyfriend when they were children….She went to pieces, could not stop crying… the Doctor gave her all kinds of pills just so she could sleep.
I wonder where she is now… Her name was Doris Derter, she must be around 70+ by now.

Muslims have to project in order to keep their “victims of an unjust society” narrative. They can’t have any of the genocides that their brothers and sisters in sinister faith (ancestors included) to be exposed the the non-Muslim world. This is exactly why they were against the release of Kashmir Files.
