Islamic Scholar Sheikh Dr. Kia Jahed At George Mason University: Israel Would Have You Believe Six Million Jews Were Killed In The Holocaust, This Arouses Sympathy For It; It Is Ironic That The People Who Survive The Holocaust Immediately Perpetrated Something Ten Times Worse Against The Palestinians

Islamic scholar and radiologist Sheikh Dr. Kia Jahed said at an address he delivered at George Mason University that since the Balfour Declaration of 1917, six million Palestinians have been displaced, and he said that that these numbers are similar to the number of Jews that people are "taught" were killed in the Nazi Holocaust. He explained that there is a lot of debate about how many Jews were actually killed in the Holocaust – with possible estimates being 3 million, one million, or maybe 600,000 – and that the figure of six million is commonly referred to because "Israel would have you believe" that that many Jews were killed because this creates the most sympathy for its cause. He also said that it is very "ironic" that the survivors of the Nazi Holocaust immediately afterwards perpetrated a holocaust that is "ten times worse" against the Palestinians, and the world just looked on.

Dr. Jahed is a radiologist working in Winchester, Virginia. The address was posted on the GMU MSA YouTube channel on September 17, 2024, although it was originally delivered on October 24, 2023.

Kia Jahed: "Take a guess. 1917 until now. How many Palestinians are displaced? Six million. Let's go back to the Holocaust. How many Jews were you taught were killed in the Holocaust? Six million? Okay. By the way, there's a lot of debate about the number. The Holocaust happened, there's no doubt about that, but maybe not six million. Maybe three million, maybe one million, maybe 600,000. There's all kinds of different numbers that historians talk about, okay?

"Israel would have you believe six million because it creates the most sympathy for them. But is it... How ironic is it that in 1944, Holocaust happens. A people go through tremendous suffering. You would think that these people, more than anyone else, would have sympathy and empathy to not allow this happen to anyone ever again. Yet the very people who underwent this trauma turn around and do ten times worse on Palestinians, and the world just looks on. Why? Is it because they're white and they're brown? Is it because they look more European and they look more African?"
