	Arab League to participate in Holocaust-denial symposium
		The Arab League is slated to participate in a symposium in Abu Dhabi, which organizers say will expose Israeli "lies and exaggerations about the Holocaust," according to reports in the English-language dailies Gulf News and Khaleej Times.

		I think that it is instructive to listen to the rabid anti-Jewish Arabs saying on the one hand that the Holocaust never occurred, while claiming on the other hand that the "Nazi Israelis" are "exterminating" the Pallies.
