In an article published on May 17th, the Saudi Daily Al-Iqtisadiya expressed the view that America has exaggerated the number of people killed during the Holocaust.
Abd Al-Rahman Al-Trairi supported the claims made by famed Holocaust denier Roger Garaudy, that the idea that six million Jews were killed is completely ‘irrational’.
This view was reiterated by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaking on IRINN (Iranian news) on the 24th June; he said that ‘if the black boxes of the Holocaust, and of 9/11 are opened, much evidence will come to light’.
Ahmadinejad compared the two events claiming both showed examples of how America had exaggerated numbers of deaths in order to advance the Jewish cause in the Middle East and highlighted that many people believed these exaggerations were made to give America an excuse to invade and ‘fill the pockets of capitalists’ and to secure the Zionist homeland.
