Palestinian ruling party reposts Al Jazeera nixed clip saying Jews exploited Holocaust
Fatah, the party of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, yesterday reposted a clip produced by Al Jazeera that claimed “the narrative” that the Nazis killed six million Jews was “adopted by the Zionist movement.”
On its Facebook page, Fatah criticized Al Jazeera’s removal and apology for the clip — posted by its online AJ+ Arabic service — and its firing of two journalists involved in its production and approval, according to the Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) monitor.
“Al-Jazeera TV did a favor to the occupation and erased the video. Let’s publish it again,” the Palestinian ruling party wrote, according to a PMW translation.
