Checked out the link. It's one of those freak shows for pinheads, a fake news web site. You can't believe anythng those scumbags say. Kudos to Stone for excellent taste in enemies.
Hrm. How do you explain these?
After remarking in the interview that “Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30 [million],” Stone went into conspiracy mode with the assertion that "Jewish domination of the media" in the U.S. was to blame for Holocaust deaths getting a bigger spotlight than the millions of deaths that occurred in Russia in World War II.
The rest of the quote suggested that, in addition, U.S. foreign policy in general had been messed up by Jews both foreign and domestic: “There’s a major lobby in the United States," Stone said. "They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has [messed] up United States foreign policy for years.”

What about the response from the Israeli Diaspora Affairs minister whose comments were featured in
this article from the Jerusalem Post?
Director: US Holocaust focus is product of ‘Jewish media domination.’
Diaspora Affairs and Public Diplomacy Minister Yuli Edelstein slammed Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone on Monday for comments he made in an interview to Britain’s Sunday Times, in which he downplayed the Holocaust, defended Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and complained about Jewish influence in the United States.
Edelstein said that Stone’s statements to the newspaper were racist and anti-Semitic and made him sick.
“Beyond the ignorance he proves with his comments, his demonization of the Jewish people could be a sequel to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” the minister said. “When a man of Stone’s stature says such things, it could lead to a new wave of anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism, and it may even cause real harm to Jewish communities and individuals.”
In the interview, Stone said America’s focus on the Holocaust was a product of the “Jewish domination of the media.” He said his upcoming Showtime documentary series Secret History of America would put Hitler and Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin “in context.” “Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30 [million killed],” Stone said.
When asked by the interviewer why so much of an emphasis had been placed on the Holocaust, Stone responded, “The Jewish domination of the media. There’s a major lobby in the United States. They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f***** up United States foreign policy for years.”

Stone also raised an uproar when he defended Hitler at a press conference in January.
“Hitler is an easy scapegoat throughout history and it’s been used cheaply,” he said at the time. “He’s the product of a series of actions. It’s cause and effect.”
He was also slammed
in The Atlantic and
The Baltimore Sun, although slammed is not quite the right word for their utter disdain and disgust with him.
But of course, for real truth you have to go to
The Huffington Post, which says:
As the largest and most recent coordinated genocidal attack against Jewry in world history, the Holocaust has been the topic of intense analysis. The genocide did not start spontaneously with bullets or gas chambers at its peak in the 1940s, but rather with a carefully sculpted campaign of escalating lies and bigotry in the 1930s. What is most remarkable today, however, is that the poison of the Holocaust did not end its toxic rampage with the death of its victims or its chief perpetrator, Adolph Hitler, generations ago. The toxicity continues today in various potencies, through carefully sculpted contemporary rhetoric and pseudo analysis by powerful figures such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Oliver Stone who distort history.
Stone's statement in London's Sunday Times is already on major Anti-Semitic websites around the world:

There is something else disturbing about Stone's insensitivity. For one, he employs the same "Jewish domination" theme -- in this case of the media to explain why we focus on the Holocaust. The same kind of Jew-baiting that Hitler used to execute his atrocities. If American Jews keep up their media domination, America may very well have to employ the same censorship and takeover measures that his buddy Hugo Chavez has employed so benevolently against dissenters in Venezuela.
He's blaming the Jews, Brits, and Americans for the Holocaust and claiming that Hitler was just misunderstood, and then blaming our outrage over the Holocaust on Jewish media elites. It's time to stick a fork in him and his tiny, demented, conspiratorial mind.
