A Lecture on the Hollowcause in Amman

Dr Ibrahim Alloush

On the evening of Saturday, March 4, 2006, a lecture on the myths of the Hollowcause and their political uses was delivered in the Association against Zionism and Racism in Amman , Jordan by the Arab revisionist Ibrahim Alloush. 

The announcement for the lecture carried the title: 

" Is the Hollowcause Scientifically Feasible?  And Why Does it Concern us Politically as Arabs?"

The main topics tackled in the lecture included:

1. The three components of the Hollowcause myth;

2. The political uses of the myth, and why one can't reject those uses while accepting the myth; 

3.  Arab attitudes towards the Hollowcause and why one can't accept the myth without diminishing the cause of Palestine;

4. A summary of the works of revisionist historians debunking the myth scientifically, especially the alleged 'gas chamber', and how that chamber is the centerpiece of the myth, not the exaggerated numbers as some think;

5) The persecution of revisionist historians and the Hollowcause as one of the most important files of the Arab-Zionist conflict, and why we should step all over the myth without flinching.

In the question and answer period that followed, the audience, which filled the hall to the hilt, interacted quite positively with the propositions being advanced.  Several demanded that the conclusions of the lecture be propagated as widely as possible.  There was definitely mass interest and sympathy there with the revisionist cause and with revisionist historians.

The morale of the story is: taking this position doesn't isolate us but brings us closer to the pulse of the street.  For the ones who are isolated are the ones who find themselves more and more often sitting with imperialists and Zionists criticizing the 'barbarism' of the people.
