Hamas TV says Holocaust was Jews' idea

GAZA, May 1 (UPI) -- A TV station run by the Palestinian militant group Hamas aired a program saying Jews organized the Holocaust to get rid of the weak, a media watch group said.

The Al-Aqsa TV program features recordings from the World War II Nazi Genocide in conjunction with images of former Israeli prime ministers David Ben Gurion and Golda Meir, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported in its Friday edition.

The newspaper reported the program alleges Gurion and "the Satanic Jews thought up an evil plot to be rid of the burden of disabled and handicapped in twisted criminal ways."

The Holocaust "was a joke, and part of the perfect show that Ben Gurion put on," Palestinian Center for Strategic Research head Amin Dabur said in the April 18 program.

Palestinian Media Watch posted a segment of the documentary on YouTube and called it "Hamas Holocaust Perversion: Jews Planned Holocaust to Kill Handicapped Jews."
