Individuals around the world who try to downplay evidence of Hamas atrocities and attack Israel for fighting Hamas are engaging in the new and disturbing version of ”Holocaust denial.”
In America, college students and professors have only doubled down on their support for jihad-loving Palestinians since the start of the current conflict. The United Nations (UN) — whose UNRWA agency is infested with Hamas jihadis — and many individual governments within it have pressured Israel to a ceasefire, despite ample experience that a ceasefire is never honored by Hamas.
Governments, including the Biden administration, continue to pour aid into Gaza, ignoring the fact that Hamas terrorists control the area and thus the aid. Even Google’s AI was caught downplaying evidence of horrific Hamas-inflicted rapes. Why is so much of the world determined to forget the massacre of Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, in favor of falsely painting the Gazans as victims?
Israeli ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan has compared this pernicious attitude to “Holocaust denial.” It is interesting that the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas (that alleged moderate and funder of terrorists whom the Biden administration wants in charge of Gaza), continues to claim that the Jews brought the Holocaust on themselves. There was a reason that the Arabs in that area at the time of World War II under the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem were allied with and supportive of Adolf Hitler. Radical Muslims and Nazis shared a goal of genocide against Jews. Sadly, that goal has not changed for Gazan Arabs, perhaps because Islamic scriptures and leaders support massacring Jews.
Erdan made the comparison between Holocaust denial and the new pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel activism while discussing an exhibition of Hamas atrocities Israel has brought to the UN. “The UN, sadly, is actively attempting to cause mass amnesia to make the world forget the heinous crimes that Hamas committed,” Erdan said. Of course, dozens of UN employees are accused of participating in these very Oct. 7 crimes, so naturally the UN is being dishonest.
The UN is working to forget the crimes of Hamas. Like "Holocaust denial,” we can witness at the UN the phenomenon of "October 7 denial." That is why the exhibition we launched last night at the UN is so important - now, every person who enters the UN will witness the cruelty of… pic.twitter.com/l7bV8EqUHf

Erdan continued, “Friends, just as Holocaust denial is on the rise while survivors still walk among us, we are now seeing massacre denial, Oct. 7 Massacre denial while the wounds of Oct. 7 are still open.” That’s why the exhibition is “crucial,” Erdan emphasized. “Every person who enters the UN can now bear witness to Hamas’s brutality and recognize the need to eradicate this evil.” Even the representatives of the 50 Muslim nations, most of whom love to gang up on the only Jewish nation (Israel), will have to be reminded of why Hamas is the problem, not Israel. I would also add that over 70% of Palestinians still support Hamas’s Oct. 7 jihad even now, according to a recent poll.
Not only are the “Palestinians” (a term only applied to a conglomeration of Arabs for the first time in the 1960s) still supporting brutal jihad against Israel, but they never had a right to Israeli land in the first place. Israel has engaged in no occupation or apartheid. The Palestinians don’t want their own nation — they have been turning such offers down for decades — they want to destroy Israel entirely. The jihadis particularly want to kill Jews and Christians, along with any Muslim Israelis loyal to their country. The situation could not be clearer. Anyone still pretending that the Palestinians are the victims and Israel the evil aggressor can only be doing so from willful ignorance, ideology, and prejudice.

Her captor kept her chained in a dark room for weeks and then sexually assaulted her at gunpoint.
This is her testimony.

Just as anti-Israel sentiment is antisemitism, a denial or downplay of the Oct. 7 crimes is akin to Holocaust denial. On Oct. 7, the single worst day of slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, babies were burned alive and/or beheaded, whole families gunned down, women raped to death, and civilians of all ages kidnapped. Gazans celebrated the mass murder, and the Palestinian Authority rewarded the jihadis with cash.

Oct. 7 was one of the worst atrocities of modern times, and denying that fact is shameful and disgusting. Violent antisemitism is disturbingly alive and well, and Adolf Hitler would be very proud.
