          Syria criminalizes same sex relations, It’s just a part of the global south being a bit underdeveloped the “western measures of progression™” due to colonialism and underdeveloped economies.

            • The video cuts into him talking mid sentence. In the Arab World the Holocaust is seen as a tragic event that happened to many people but politicized by Zionists to justify their colonialization of Palestine, Golda Meir once said that after the Holocaust Jews are free to do whatever they want. Bashar questions the accuracy of the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust.

        I’m curious about one line in particular, where he says “there’s no evidence six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust.” Does the word “Jews” actually appear here? I’m wondering if Bashar is merely saying that six million is an underestimation of the total death toll of the Holocaust, or if he straight up thinks no Jews died in the Shoah. Thanks in advance.

    • I will do so later if I don’t forget. Is there a remind me bot here?

      The video is cut right before he questions the Holocaust’s Jewish death toll figures, but he doesn’t deny the Holocaust happened. He just says it has been politicized and he gives evidence to the fact that the Soviet death toll is ignored.

        It’s a popular trope among certain islamic intellectuals to deny the Holocaust and also to tow the judo-bolshevik conspiracy theory. Assad just made a left wing version of that trope. If you can’t deny the Holocaust then it means you shouldn’t deny a great amount of atrocity had been committed to the European jewry by Nazis. 6 million jews were systematically killed by gas chambers and death marches and shooting. It was also USSR who addressed the mass atrocities when they supported the 2 state solution.
