Abu Bluff's latest denial

I was waiting for someone to make this comparison.

Yesha Council Chairman Danny Dayan slammed 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen for claiming that the Machpeila Cave and Rachel's Tomb are 'Palestinian sites.'
Yesha Council chairman Danny Dayan on Tuesday slammed Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas, after he said that the Machpelah Cave and Kever Rachel were "Palestinian sites." Dayan said that Abbas, "a man who for his doctorate work denied the Holocaust, is outdoing himself now by denying our connection to Jewish history. He is trying to deny the existence of the Jewish people. But there is nothing to be done about the fact that the fathers and mothers of the nation are buried in Hevron, and it is where King David had a capital," Dayan said.
Yes, for those of you who did not know it already, Abu Mazen is a Holocaust denier.
[Abu Mazen] wrote his doctorate in 1982 in Moscow, at the Institute for Oriental Studies. The institute was headed by Yevgeny Primakov, a Jew, an Arabist, an avowed friend of Saddam Hussein and other Arab rulers, and eventually the prime minister of Russia. Of all these qualities, Abu Mazen emphasized mainly Primakov's Jewish origin.

The heading of his doctoral thesis was: "Zionist leadership and the Nazis." The introduction dealt, among other topics, with a loaded issue: How many Jews perished in the Holocaust. In the Soviet period, especially in the anti-Israel institute that Abu Mazen attended, they often dealt with such questions. The Soviet Union, more than any other country, was addicted to Holocaust denial. The victims were not recognized by their origin, but rather by their nationality. And this is what the diligent researcher Mahmoud Abbas wrote:
World War Two caused the death of 40 million people from different parts of the world. Ten million Germans, 20 million Soviets, and moreā€¦Rumors at the end of the war said that 6 million of the world's Jews were among the victims in the war of extermination that was waged against the Jewish people and later on against other peoples. The fact is that no one can confirm this number or deny it. The number could be 6 million, but it could be much smaller, perhaps even smaller than one million. The controversy over the number must not divert us from the severity of the crime committed against the Jewish people. The murder of a human being is a crime that the cultured world must not accept.
"Many researchers who discussed the number reached the unconventional conclusion that it is no more than several hundred thousand," he wrote. Later on, Abu Mazen quotes a Holocaust denier who claimed that "at first the Zionists spoke about 12 million Jews who were killed in the death camps. They later narrowed the number down to 6 and to 4 million. It is not possible that the Germans murdered more Jews than existed in the world at the time." He quotes another Holocaust denier who counted 896,000 Jewish victims in all.

...

Abbas has consistently refused to distance himself from his thesis.
Lying about the Jewish people's connection to Bethlehem and Hebron is completely in character.

The Palestinians are upset because they have NO ancestral sites in the Land Of Israel. They cannot dispute it as the birthplace of the Jewish people, so they deny a Jewish connection to holy sites there. That is in character for them.
