Egyptian Newspaper Headline: UN Marks the "So-Called Holocaust"

Story dated 26 January 2005

The headline says all there is to say about the substance of this issue. Does anyone remember when The Passion was about to open and someone found out that Mel Gibson's father was a Holocaust denier? I do. That was national front-page news and it spawned a lot of completely unfounded speculation about whether or not Mel Gibson was an anti-Semite and whether he had filmed the Passion to make Jews look bad (neither of which was remotely true). Now we have actual nations that officially deny the Holocaust in their major media, and there is barely a blip on the national radar. Oh, but they're not white Christians, they're Arab Muslims; they're allowed to be anti-Semitic -- silly me for forgetting.
