Holocaust Denial

<< < (2/9) > >>

Lincoln:
I don't deny the holocaust in the least bit, but I think it's absolutely ridiculous to make denial of it a crime, it's an absolute affront to free speech.

virtuoso:

I think it is ridiculous that any part of history should be prohibited from being discussed, examined, inspected, and or questioned. People can throw as many facts out as they like about how hitler displayed hatred towards the jews I never implied he did not, he was just another monster like so many before him and after him. However using what he did as a tool to prohibit/demonise is nothing more than blatant emotional blackmail and it masks the core issue which is, this law amounts to thought crime. Jeezy wants to talk about the dangers of "nationalism" and yet this is equally as dangerous because it tells people how they can think.

Noname:
People who ''deny'' the holocaust, dont say that it never happened. But there just pointing out that there were also a lot of other people dying. And why give only the jews a special treatment? It is true Hitler hated the jews the most. But for me that isnt a valid reason for giving the jews a special treatment. There died about 60 million people in WWII. That was about 3% of the world population at the time. So there were a lot more people that died.

But the thing i dont understand is, if you look how the Jews were treated back then, they are treating the Palestinian people almost the same way. You would think that of all people Jews know how it feels to be oppressed.

Trauma-san:
The jews aren't keeping the palestenians in slave camps.  The jews aren't performing transplant experiments on their living bodies.  The jews aren't gassing the palestinians who aren't strong enough to work anymore.  It's night and day difference... of course since you have lived a sheltered, protected life when you see the palestinians in a bad way of course you're going to think it's horrible and nothing more horrible could ever have happened.  Comparing the holocaust to basically anything that's happening between israel and palestine is childish and shallow. 

virtuoso:
So according to your bizarre reasoning the palestinians are not being kept in what is effectively a concentration camp....sorry and simultaneously you call into question others mental age  ::). Hemmed in from all sides by tanks, surrounded by barbed wire, 24 hour curfews kept in squalid conditions, little kids getting shot and checkpoints everywhere. Of course you embrace this because this in the "evil" middle east and thus it is not oppressive, unacceptable or anything approaching it. After all george bush and the other cockroaches in congress insist that israel is a friend an ally who have a "right to protect themselves". Ignorance is strength in your view so you willfully ignore the reality to fit in with your view of bush the defender of world freedom LOL. Sorry I can not go on....responding to your ridiculous views is a challenge in itself.
