MEMRI has excerpts:

"The truth of the matter is that no one can verify this number, or completely deny it. In other words, the number of Jewish victims might be 6 million and might be much smaller – even less than 1 million. [Nevertheless], a discussion regarding the number of Jews [killed] does not, in any way, diminish the severity of the crime committed against them, as murder – even of one man – is a crime that the civilized world cannot accept and humanity cannot accept."

"It seems that the Zionist movement's stake in inflating the number of murdered in the war aimed at [ensuring] great gains. This led it to confirm the number [6 million], to establish it in world opinion, and by doing so to arouse more pangs of conscience and sympathy for Zionism in general. Many scholars have debated the question of the 6 million figure, and reached perplexing conclusions, according to which the Jewish victims total hundreds of thousands. The well-known Canadian author Roger Delarom said on this matter: 'To date, no proof whatsoever exists that the number of Jewish victims in the Nazi concentration camps reached four million or six million. Zionism first spoke of 12 million exterminated in these camps, but then the number decreased greatly, to half, that is, only six million. Then the number decreased further, and became four million, as the Germans could not have killed or exterminated more Jews than there were in the world at that time. In effect, the true number is much smaller than these fictitious millions.' The [American] historian and author Raul Hilberg thinks that this number is no greater than 896,000."[70] Abu Mazen's attribution of this figure to Raul Hillberg's The Destruction of the European Jews is false.[71]

Her husband John Ward Anderson did a bit of creative reporting yesterday, in "Sharon Accuses Abbas of Failing to Stop Attacks" he writes:

Many Israelis express doubt that Abbas's approach will work and say they believe it will take too much time to find out. Their fears were underscored by the attack at the Karni crossing, which many analysts said was a provocative challenge to Abbas's authority and his oft-proclaimed stance against such violence.

Also Sunday, the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which Abbas chairs, issued a statement demanding a halt to "all military acts that harm our national interests and provide excuses to Israel, which wishes to obstruct Palestinian stability." Several of the main Palestinian militant groups, including Islamic Jihad and the Islamic Resistance Movement, known as Hamas, do not belong to the PLO.
