Hamza Yosef, the First Minister of Scotland, is under international criticism following a video he published. Yosef spoke for two minutes and talked about solidarity, genocide, human rights and the need to stand against cruelty everywhere in the world.

He chose not to mention even a single word the genocide committed by the Nazis, led by Hitler, against the Jewish people. "The first minister was frightened and avoided the use of the word Jew in a pathetic way," said Sir Simon Michael Shama, a British Jewish writer and historian.
