Is the Concept of Hyperbole Unknown in the Arab World?

Moqavemat, a Hezbollah website, today carries this story: "Al-Ghoul: Israeli war on Gaza was the biggest holocaust in history."

Palestinian parliament member MP Mohammed Faraj Al-Ghoul, of Hamas Movement, has described the Israeli war on Gaza as the biggest holocaust in history, adding that his government would chase Israeli war criminals and file lawsuits against them.Ghoul's remarks were uttered as he received a Moroccan Parliamentary delegation visiting the PLC building that was flattened to ground in an Israeli air strike on it during the war on Gaza.

Come on! Does this guy have no concept of scale? Haven't they been beating the United States up for years for Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Was what happened in Gaza worse than that? What about firebombing Dresden? There's no need to ask, of course, about the Armenia Genocide of the Great War or the Jewish Genocide of the Second World War.

The bar for holocausts and genocide will soon be the death of a single Arab.
