Senior Morsi Aide: The Holocaust was Invented by US Intelligence

There really doesn't seem to be much of a functional difference between the Egyptian government and Neo-Nazis.  Both seem to have a virulent hatred of Jews and have a similar point of view about them and the Holocaust.  The fact that Obama continues to arm them with M1A1 tanks and F-16's would be farcical if it wasn't so tragic for both the Jews and the last remaining vestiges of the Egyptian opposition.  Anyway, check out these comments which appear in a very extensive column on the official Muslim Brotherhood website and are written by Fathi Shihab-Eddin the current Chairman of the Culture, Tourism and Information Committee in the Egyptian parliament and head of the Supreme Press Council, which allows him to choose the editors of the state run newspapers in Egypt.  Here is a key section as translated by the folks at FrontPage Magazine (you can translate the whole thing with Google Translate, you'll get the gist):

The myth of the Holocaust is an industry that America invented. U.S. intelligence agencies in cooperation with their counterparts in allied nations during World War II created it to destroy the image of their opponents in Germany, and to justify war and massive destruction against military and civilian facilities of the Axis powers, and especially to hit "Hiroshima and Nagasaki" with the atomic bomb.

He goes on to say that 6 million Jews actually moved to the United States and that they were only considered "murdered" for the sake of political ends.  Somehow nobody noticed this mass migration at the time.  Also, he says it is impossible for 6 million Jews to have been killed because the number of German Jews never exceeded 700,000.  Obviously they don't teach much history or geography in Egypt or else he would have known that there were millions of Jews in next door Poland, which had been overrun by the Nazis and millions more in Russia.  Much of the column is then spent saying how great the holocaust deniers were and how they were persecuted for speaking the "truth".  

I don't think people can even fathom how deep the Jew hatred goes in Egypt.  And we are giving them billions of dollars a year when we should be implementing sanctions.
