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.
