\u201cIf we want to go over the past, go ahead. I have 50 slaughters that Israel committed \u2026 50 massacres, 50 slaughters, 50 Holocausts,\u201d Abbas replied.<\/p>\n
Scholz condemned Abbas on Wednesday in a statement on Twitter, writing, \u201cI am disgusted by the outrageous remarks made by Palestinian President Mahmoud #Abbas. For us Germans in particular, any relativization of the singularity of the Holocaust is intolerable and unacceptable. I condemn any attempt to deny the crimes of the Holocaust.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nIch bin zutiefst emp\u00f6rt \u00fcber die uns\u00e4glichen Aussagen des pal\u00e4stinensischen Pr\u00e4sidenten Mahmoud #Abbas<\/a>. Gerade f\u00fcr uns Deutsche ist jegliche Relativierung des Holocaust unertr\u00e4glich und inakzeptabel. Ich verurteile jeden Versuch, die Verbrechen des Holocaust zu leugnen.<\/p>\n
