Farrakhan On Exclusive Use Of "The Holocaust" For Jews During WW2: "To Them, The Suffering Of Six Million Jews Is Worth Seven Billion Human Beings"

   Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan continued his public haranguing of the "Satanic Jew," his term for his Jewish critics, in his 2019 Saviours' Day event keynote address in Chicago at the United Center on Sunday. At one point, Farrakhan addressed the issue of the Holocaust and how he believes Jewish people have unjustly appropriated the word "holocaust" to apply exclusively to Hitler's attempt to wipe out Jews worldwide during World War II (video, 2:39)*:
"Now some of the Jewish people who are under the Talmud - Lord have mercy - they think so much of themselves -- that you black people -- you look at 400 years, you look at the transatlantic slave trade you look at them hanging us up, burning us at the stake, raping us, robbing us, and you call it "the Holocaust," and a Jew will say to you, Uh uh, you can't use that term. How many of you have heard Jewish people tell you you can't use "holocaust" when you talk about black suffering.  Do you know why? Because to them, the suffering of six million Jews is worth seven billion human beings on our planet. So when you say "holocaust" that's to them, blasphemy. That's how cheap they think of Palestinian life, the life of the Gentiles - only their life is sacred." [emphasis added]

   Earlier on Sunday, Michael Hoffman, a man that both the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center have called a "Holocaust denier," addressed the gathering at the United Center. A photo was posted on Twitter by someone in the crowd:



   Hoffman had visited with Farrakhan at Farrakhan's house on the eve of the Nation of Islam conference and posted a photo on Twitter of himself with Farrakhan:



   Hoffman has written regarding his own books, "it is necessary to have the courage to point out the many parallels between Nazi ideology and the Israeli Zionist ideology which is engaged in the on-going dispossession and murder of Palestinians." He also has a photo of himself from the year 2000 holding a banner equating the Star of David to the Nazi swastika:


   Two years ago at Saviours' Day 2017, Farrakhan's hosted 9/11 Truthers who gave a presentation alleging Jewish responsibility for the terror attacks as a false flag excuse to start a "War on Islam." The Truthers used this graphic in their presentation:



   The Script reported on this 2017 presentation last week.
