Berlin Police Open Preliminary Investigation Against Abbas For His Holocaust Comments

Aug. 19 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Berlin Police have opened a preliminary investigation against the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, for assuring that Israel has committed “50 massacres” against the Palestinian people that constitute “50 holocausts”.

This has been confirmed by police sources to the German newspaper ‘Bild’, who has published that Abbas is being investigated in Germany for possible incitement to hatred for these statements he made during a press conference in Berlin with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Already this week, the president of the Palestinian Authority assured that with these comments they were referring only to the crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinian people and that, in no way, was he denying the Jewish Holocaust, “the most heinous crime in modern human history “, in his own words.

Abbas’s remarks were in response to a journalist who asked him if he would apologize to the Israeli authorities on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the attack by Palestinian terrorists on the Israeli team during the 1972 Munich Olympics, which resulted in his death. of 10 Israeli athletes and coaches, as well as a German policeman.

After that, the German chancellor asserted, also to the newspaper ‘Bild’, that relativizing this historical fact is unacceptable. “For us, the Germans in particular, any relativization of the Holocaust is intolerable and unacceptable,” he declared.
