National Review - Anti-Zionism's Soviet Roots

"Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian National Authority since
2005, completed his graduate studies at the Patrice Lumumba University
in 1982. His dissertation, later published as the book The Other Side:
The Secret Relationship between Nazism and Zionism, was directed by
Yevgeny Primakov, a master of Soviet political warfare. Its thesis is
that Zionists collaborated with Nazis to perpetrate the Holocaust —
which, according to Abbas, killed far fewer than 6 million European Jews
— in order to win public support for a Jewish state. This supposed
history, Abbas wrote, explains “the origins” of Israel’s “aggressive and
racist policy vis-à-vis Palestinians and the Arabs in other countries.”
Invoking Nazi Germany, Abbas described Zionists as “the storm troopers
of world imperialist reaction” and claimed that the “aggressive essence
of international Zionism and, first and foremost, its crucial component
— Israel’s ruling Zionist regime — appear today in its most crude,
expansionist, and racist form.”"
