Deny this, motherfucker

Israel Hayom has an article and a video about an absurdity by Hamas:

This evening we will mark Holocaust Remembrance Day and the State of Israel will remember the six million victims of the Holocaust," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the weekly cabinet meeting, stressing that "the main difference between the Jews' helplessness during the Holocaust and their situation now, is that we now have a sovereign state with a strong military that protects us from those who seek to harm us. Iran is at the top of the list of those who seek to destroy us," Netanyahu said. "Aside from its own nuclear ambitions, Iran finances, arms and trains Hamas and the other terror groups lurking on our borders. Hamas denies the Holocaust while trying to facilitate another one by destroying the State of Israel.
This is the Hamas that abu Mazen (Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas) has chosen to align himself with last week. Instead of making statements meant to appease the international community, abu Mazen has to choose between his pact with Hamas, a terror group that urges the destruction of Israel and denies the Holocaust, and true peace with Israel. We hope he resumes the path of true peace," Netanyahu said.
The cabinet meeting also addressed a recent report by the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Victims in Israel, which found that some fifty thousand survivors living in Israel experience dire financial hardship. The ministers approved a plan proposed by the Finance Ministry to appropriate some one billion shekels ($288 million) to the welfare of Holocaust survivors. Some two hundred million shekels ($57.6 million) are expected to come from the budgets of the Education and Welfare ministries.
The measures approved include allocating a $1,036 stipend to Holocaust survivors who meet certain criteria, as well as making Holocaust survivors eligible to receive various services and drugs included in the health basket for free.
Other measures include increasing the benefits paid to victims of Nazi persecution to a minimum of $633 a month; making survivors who immigrated to Israel after 1 October 1953 eligible for full benefits; paying the spouses of Holocaust survivors who passed away special death benefits; and offering Holocaust survivors who do not receive special benefits mental healthcare.
The government also approved the transfer of $5.75 million from the Finance Ministry in favor of welfare projects catering to Holocaust survivors' needs.
Foundation Chairman Avi Dichter was quoted by Army Radio as saying that, while the additional funds would surely benefit the various aid organizations, "the issues of aid to survivors should be anchored in legislation, so it can become independent from the government."
Army Radio further noted that a survey held by the Consortium of Holocaust Survivors' Organizations in Israel last week, found that one-third of the survivors living in Israel do not feel the government is doing enough to assist them.
The findings echoed a those of a poll held by the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Victims in Israel, which found that over fifty percent of survivors believe the government was falling short in its efforts to assist them.
The various aid organization welcomed the news about the impending measures, expressing hope that they will be implemented soon after the Knesset begins its summer session.
The state ceremony marking Holocaust Remembrance Day is scheduled to be held at 8 pm at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem. President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are expected to speak at the ceremony.
This year's ceremonies' theme has been named 1944: Between Elimination and Liberation: Jews on the Borderline.
The traditional March of the Living will be held in Poland on Monday. Thousands of Jews from Israel and around the world, including hundreds of teenagers, will participate in the march from Auschwitz to Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex built during World War Two.
An Israeli police delegation numbering 185 policemen, officers and cadets will participate in this year's march, led by Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino. "Policemen who participate in the march come back as changed individuals. They are much more sensitive to people, and they have a new understanding of how important the work they do is," Police Human Resources Division head Major General Yaron Be'eri said.
Joining the police delegation will be survivors of the Nazi atrocities and their descendants, led by Holocaust survivor Mickey Goldman, as well as dozens of bereaved families and the survivors of terror attacks.

CNN has an article about the PLO's version of history:

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called the Holocaust the most heinous crime in modern human history, his office said in a statement. He called the Holocaust an embodiment of racism, in response to a question by Rabbi Marc Schneier on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the statement from the Palestine Liberation Organization said. He said Palestinians reject racism and ethnic discrimination, and he called on the world to fight it. "The Palestinian people, who suffer from injustice, oppression, and are denied freedom and peace, are the first to demand to lift the injustice and racism that befell other peoples subjected to such crimes," the statement read.
The PLO called on Israel to "conclude a just and comprehensive peace in the region, based on the two-states vision."

Rico says it's good timing on his part; Monday is Holocaust Remembrance Day. and ceremonies begin at sundown on Sunday.
