neo-neocon: Holocaust denial: it's catching: "But Holocaust denial has spread to Arab countries, and of course to Iran. The reasons are not completely clear, but it seems to go with the territory of anti-Semitism itself. After all, if one desires to hate Jews and to blame them for all manner of evil, and at the same time one imagines there's a need to be sympathetic to victims (and to elevate the Palestinians as victims extraordinaire), then the Jews have to be discredited as victims. They must have no sympathy whatsoever in order to become the villains of the piece. And to do that one must deny that the Holocaust ever occurred--so that their re-victimhood may be safely contemplated, and with a clear conscience."

Neo's post notes more details about the Holocaust, its denial, and the films made by the Brits to "prove" the unbelievability of what was done.


-- as a sufferer of Holocaust Fatigue, I'm saddened and tired by the deniers. And sad for the "never again" LIE, when applied to Cambodia, to Rwanda -- and to Sudan, today.

Holocaust Denial today is actually LESS BAD than anti-Vietnam war protesters who denial supporting commie victory, and thus commie genocide.
