This is the true face of Qatar’s Al Jazeera. Unabashed Holocaust revisionism and anti-Semitism on its Arabic channel. Don’t be fooled by AJ‘s polished facade for its gullible Western audience. AJ isn’t news, it’s state-controlled propaganda. pic.twitter.com/hJ6lc7UIoN

Anshel Pfeffer of Haaretz tweeted that although he had done interviews on Al Jazeera in the past, it was “inexcusable now to be on it, that it’s officially endorsing Holocaust denial.”The holocaust according to Aljazeera‘s young and hype brand:• Number of victims is debatable, some deny the extermination, some say it is exaggerated, some blame the Zionist movement for playing it up>> https://t.co/8cXA5gbF2Z

The World Jewish Congress condemned Al Jazeera for the “horridly offensive article accusing Jews of exploiting the Holocaust for their own interests.”I've done dozens of interviews on Al Jazeera over the years (both the Arabic and English channels). I always thought it was important to appear on the most popular Arab channel. Inexcusable now to be on it that it's officially endorsing Holocaust denial.https://t.co/9CO021gIJl

Al-Jazeera published a horridly offensive article accusing Jews of exploiting the Holocaust for their own interests. It is an appalling and unabashedly antisemitic piece. It crossed all lines of decency and entered into the realm of blood libel. https://t.co/ZYSklT6cyA

The Al Jazeera Media Network said it had “deleted a video produced by AJ+ Arabic because it violated the editorial standards of the Network.” As of Sunday, the network had not apologized. The video comes on the heels of other high-profile antisemitism media scandals. The New York Times atoned in late April for an antisemitic cartoon in its international edition.AJ+ Arabic strayed for a second into regular Al Jazeera Arabic territory with Holocaust denial before people noticed and the video was deleted.This is the exact reason the channels were segmented this way, to appeal to both liberals and the general Gulf. Whose mistake was this? https://t.co/Xvv2N8z1nA
