Lod police have opened an investigation into two incidents, which are suspected to have occurred on a nationalist background. One of them occurred on Tuesday morning, when a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the gas station in Shila"t, near Modi'in. No one was injured or damaged.

In recent years the PLO has taken up the call of Holocaust denial with vigor.
In an April 20, 1990 story in the Jewish Week, Daniel Santacruz wrote: According to a series of magazine articles published by the Palestine Liberation Organization , the Nazi concentration camps were more humane than Israeli prisons are today . The publication also claimed that the camps did not have the technical capacity to burn millions of bodies.
In the same article he said that Israeli soldiers "Undergo fascist education more extreme than the nazis" and that the world must " combat Zionism because it is more dan- gerous to human civilization than the Nazis."
Later in 1990, the Los Angeles Times reported: "PLO ARTICLE ENDORSES HOLOCAUST AS HOAX ... [T] he Palestinian Red Crescent Society, published, last July, an article which cites Revisionist scholarship in challenging what author Ream Arnouf calls..."
Robert Faurrison told attendees of the IHR's Tenth Conference, "Arab and Islamic intellectuals . . . have begun a seriius study of Holocaust Revisionism abd its implications for the Muslim world."
According to the 1992 Anti-Semitism World Report of the Insti- tute of Jewish Affairs, Holocaust-denying articles have also appeared in Algeria and Egypt.
Target: Israel
Even in the non-Arab literature of Holocaust denial, hatred for Israel appears prominently. That fact should convince the naive that mere "historical inquiry" is not the goal. Israel was not created until 1948 , three years after the end of World War II . If somehow World War II was greatly misinterpreted, as the deniers claim, that would have little to do with a subsequent event — the founding of a Jewish state. Deniers, however, integrally link Holocaust denial with anti- Israel propaganda, for if the Holocaust is a " (supposed) hoax," as they suggest, then one of the justifications for a Jewish state is undermined.
Holocaust denial not only attacks Jewish history, its inherent anti-Zionism also targets the Jewish present and the Jewish future. Historian Deborah Lipstadt believes "The anti-Israel component is the key. This is where they really come around to their contemporary claims. This is absolutely central to their argument.
In some respects, all Holocaust denial is a means of trying to deny the legitimacy of the state of Israel. The troubling thing is that it is going to prove very appealing to people who are inclined toward anti-Semitism.
And those people are going to be exactly the ones who are going to fall prey to this kind of stuff."
When Israel is mentioned, many deniers can barely hide their crass anti-Semitism. Their literature asks questions such as "Is the Old Testament the basic plan for the foreign policy of a modern nation?
IHR conferences - especially the earlier ones - have been orgies of classical anti-Semitism.
For example, at the 1982 conference Palestinian Sami Hadawi said...</blockquote></small></ref>
