Gilad Atzmon won’t say whether the Holocaust happened because he’s “not a historian”

Sammi Ibraheem (former chair of West Midlands PSC) asks Gilad Atzmon at 4:24, in the second clip:

Ibraheem: My question to you is, do you question the Holocaust?

Atzmon: I believe, I believe…

Ibraheem: The Holocaust did it take place?

Atzmon: I do not address this question because I’m not a historian

And then at 12:07 in the same clip:

If you want to believe in the Holocaust, salaam aleikum, but I want to understand where is ethics, what do we preach, how do we redeem ourselves, what is the message, what is the meaning.

Atzmon has previously questioned the gas chambers (H/T Modernity):

if the Nazis ran a death factory in Auschwitz-Birkenau, why would the Jewish prisoners join them at the end of the war? Why didn’t the Jews wait for their Red liberators?

Atzmon told the Freiburg conference this past week:

I have never denied the Holocaust. I also find the notion of ‘holocaust denial’ to be meaningless, and on the verge of idiotic.
