Description
Presents an overview of the participation of European Muslim organisations, particularly Arabs, as a European tragedy which led to negative implications and suffering in the Arab world through the creation of the State of Israel. The Holocaust is often related to the Nakba. Whine acknowledges that Muslims played a minor part as victims or perpetrators, but the rejection of Holocaust commemoration as a form of Zionist propaganda is an adoption of Islamist and Arab nationalist antisemitism
