American writer Ron Unz said in an interview aired on Channel 4 (Iran) on January 18, 2023, that “Holocaust worship,” which he said is also known as “Holocaustianity,” has replaced traditional religion in American society. He said that “Jewish-dominated” Hollywood is partly responsible for this, and when asked by show host Arash Drya-Bandari (also known as Blake Archer Williams) about how many Jews “actually” died in the Holocaust, Unz replied that the number was no more than a “couple hundred thousand.” He also said that once the American people start to doubt the Holocaust, they will start to doubt other things that were “suppressed” by the media, such as the JFK assassination or the events of 9/11.
