Al Jazeera journalists suspended after posting anti-Semitic video about Holocaust

Source: The Hill

Al Jazeera suspended two journalists after they posted a video that questioned "how true" the Holocaust is.

The journalists posted the video on the AJ+ social media service, according to The Guardian. The video described the deaths of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust as a "narrative" "adopted by the Zionist movement," according to the newspaper, drawing swift condemnation.

The journalists also attached a caption to the video that read, "The gas chambers killed millions of Jews ... So the story says. How true is the #Holocaust and how did the Zionists benefit from it?"

The video also stated that "Israel is the No. 1 beneficiary from the Holocaust, using it as an excuse for ethnic cleansing and exterminating Palestinians," according to The Jerusalem Post.

Sometimes the big public bluff can be seen through. A glimpse that many will conveniently ignore because it conflicts with their narrative.

Either the Trump administration or Fox will find them new positions.

And it's not like they will be the only deniers there....
