Furthermore, we can't make a special case only when it's something wrong done to Jews. Otherwise, we'd be discriminating against everyone else, viciously so too. So we'd need to do the same thing with respect to racism against Blacks, Latinos, Vietnamese (known as "gooks" by some "Americans"), and so on. We would need to also apply it to everyone who publicly expresses defamatory, blind defamation against Christians and persons of any and all other religious faiths.

As for the Holocaust itself, I don't see what there is for real problem with people disbelieving that 6mn Jews were holocausted. If they truly, seriously believe that the Holocaust didn't happen, or far fewer than 6mn Jews were holocausted, then so be it; unless there's verifiable proof for the 6mn. All we have for "proof" as far as I'm aware is what western governments claim, and these claims really are only words, which don't constitute proof all by themselves.

If there is real proof, then the [mature] thing to do would be to present this proof to the public, like in public mediums. I've never heard or read of this having been done; only knowing that we are told that 6mn Jews were holocausted and told this by governments that spend half or more of their time LYING their souls all the way to hell, constantly working on deceiving The People(s), constantly being corporatist, colonialist, imperialist, committers of wars of aggression, massive, major genocides, extreme destruction of countries, ... leading hell on Earth. And they try to get us all to believe that this is all justified and that much of it isn't really happening, didn't happen, when it is and really did.

As far as I'm conerned, I'm not disturbed in the slightest about people denying the Holocaust, in whole or in part, and neither should anyone else be disturbed about this. Instead of being disturbed, when you are about this, simply provide the proof that the deniers are wrong and that 6mn Jews truly were holocausted. There is [no] such concrete proof though; not as far as I'm aware anyway. I only know of words.

We should know that people LIE using words and the ommission thereof; as well as distortions!

People claim Jesus of Nazareth never existed and I haven't yet read or heard of any Christians claiming that governments need to legally stop such offenciveness, for the Christians who are offended by this anyway. I'm not such a Christian and allow people to believe he didn't exist if this is what they believe; and if they're lying about this, then so be it. I won't waste my life trying to stop them from committing such fabrications; when they say he didn't exist but don't really believe this, that is. After all, I can't prove that Jesus existed; I only believe that the Gospels are truthful about him having been real and who the Gospels describe him as.

When racist whites in the USA assault Black Americans calling them "niggers", evil, and other offencive things, this is vicious and unconscienable! These acts should not be permitted in the USA, but I don't read or hear about more than a very tiny number of Americans who care about this. What about the author of the above article?

In any case, this killing at the Holocaust Museum is [one] incident and it's nonsense to pretend that many other Americans who hate Jews because of Israel's extremely apocalyptic criminality towards Palestinians, or who hate the fact that the Holocaust has not been backed up with concrete evidence, only words from governments that constantly LIE, deceive, manipulate, ... viciously so too; it's nonsense to pretend that there are many persons who'd commit extreme acts.

And, again, there's nothing really vicious about disbelieving that 6mn Jews were Holocausted; notthing inherently vicious, that is. If the denier truly believes this, then he or she is not really being vicious at all. When a denier is wittingly lying, fabricating parts of the story, however, now then there is viciousness (in these people's Holocaust denials). And I believe that there are deniers who truly believe what they believe and/or say about the Holocaust.

They should not be witch-hunted, etc. We do not need to repeat witch hunts, inquisitions, etcetera. Instead, deal with social problems in civil and [mature] ways. Hold heated or energetic exchanges, but do it intellectually, and if you have proof to back up what you say, then don't withhold it, for if you do, then you're leaving it understood that you don't have the proof; and that would be [your] fault, not the disbeliever's fault.

AIPAC, now let's not forget what it and other wicked, fiend Israeli lobbies have caused for intense hatreds in ... many enough Americans. This hellishly corrupt, and politically meddlesome (say), group of lobbies has driven many Americans into [hating] when they wouldn't have been this way, if it wasn't for the rogue, hellishly corrupt conduct of these lobbies.

They're perhaps more responsible for the killing at the Holocaust Museum than the person who committed this sad act was.

Now we'll hear or read from the AIPAC deniers; people claiming it doesn't really exist (the wackiest of such deniers), or that it doesn't really meddle in fiendishly corrupt ways with the politics of the government of the USA (the most vicious of these deniers!). These people couldn't provide the slightest amount of proof, but we'd be viciously flamed for not believing them.

Unfortunatly, one of the centers of anti-semitic, conspiracy mongering is right here on the letters page of good old Common Dreams.

"Stormfront" has nothing on some of these people.

Dear bligh4, And the SS clearing of the Warsaw Ghetto has nothing on the IDF assault on Gaza. If you seek fascists, look in Washington and Jerusalem.

Dear bligh4, Sorry, but I do not see an unfair comparison. Apologists for Israeli fascism should try to visualize the numerous parallels between it and German fascism of the 1930s. History sometimes plays bad jokes on people.
