Sudanese Defense Minister Abdel Rahim Mohamed Hussein told a Saudi newspaper that Jewish organizations are responsible for the conflict in Darfur. Which, according to Hussein, doesn’t actually exist. There is merely “friction between farmers and herders and shepherds.”

Oh, wait. There is no genocide. Sorry, Mr. Hussein.
