As you might know I’m a big fan of Jay Nordlinger, I met him at the National Review Boston event during the 2004 convention and shared a table with him.
4 weeks ago during the Lockerbie disgrace he reminded us of an interesting quote from Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi, (Gaddafi’s son) at the Davos summit in 2005.
So he says, “It is incorrect to deny the Holocaust.” And why? Because it was the Russians who liberated Auschwitz. We learned about these horrors from the Russians—”not from the Zionists, not from the New York Times,” but from the Red Army. “So, if Arabs deny this, it is incorrect.”
The World Economic Forum official who is with us says, “On that conciliatory note, we must adjourn.”
Amazing: that an admission that the Holocaust occurred—because the Red Army has said so—should be “conciliatory.” But, in our bizarre world, it is.
As you might remember Russia has been deeply involved in aiding and abetting Iran these days.
I think if a reporter decided to ask the question: “You state that the Holocaust is a lie but the Russians say their troops liberated Auschwitz on January 27th 1945 and state categorically that it took place. Are they lying?” the answer would be an interesting piece of news.
Update: It’s stuff like this that explains why it should be asked.
