Baradei: Nobody Has Right to Raise Doubts about Holocaust

Mohamed El Baradei, former director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said on Saturday that no one has the right to raise doubts about the Holocaust as a "Heinous crime of genocide."

"Every person has the right to defend his thoughts and beliefs against any abuse, but he has no right to resort to violence,” Baradei tweeted on Saturday.

Baradei added that "Every person has the right to condemn the racist Israeli policies against the Palestinian people, but not to question the Holocaust as a heinous crime of genocide," noting that "Rational and ethical thinking is the entry point to defend all our causes."

It is noteworthy that the Holocaust occurred during the Second World War, in which nearly six million European Jews were killed by the Nazi regime of Adolf Hitler and his collaborators.

The killings took place throughout Nazi Germany and the German-occupied regions in Europe, affecting millions of people, the majority were Jews, as well as other groups.
