i don't think you're anti-semitic jazzz but i do think you often have a blind spot when it comes to these people you associate with. i mean you haave to seriously think about what you are saying, and whose theories you are promoting, when some of these websites and people who many (not all!!) conspiracy theorists "respect" openly promote anti-semitism and racism!!!
jeff rense, alex jones, david icke... all these people are well known for making anti-semetic and anti-black, anti-immigrant statements which can be easily found on their own websites. and i will never understand why people see them as tellers of the truth when quite obviously their views and ideologies play into the hands of people who can then point to it and say about 9/11 and the subsequent events that there is nothing to investigate, that anyone who criticises or raises questions about the government's policy or the depiction of it in the media must be some kind of fanatic!!
who in their right mind, who is not a nazi, claims that there were no gas chambers, and that people in the concentration camps were not intentionally killed? that the claims of hundreds of witnesses, including former nazis themselves, are untrue? and made up by zionists???
does anyone seriously believe that a small terrorist group like the stern gang or irgun would have persuaded hitler to annex territories in Europe and kill millions of jews, gypsies, serbs, russians, as well as try the enslavement of poles and czechs on German "living space", murder political opponents (including many nazis) and disabled and gay people or could have paid him to do it? of course they tried to collaborate with the nazis but not to that extent. does anyone seriously think that these terrorists from a group hitler wanted to wipe out had any affect on his policy?
would killing gypsies (which was denied for many years afterwards) have helped set up Israel?? NO! did they collaborate with the romanian fash who just did their own thing? No!
It wont surprise me in the least if we dig up several more mass graves dating from the Nazi era and continue to do so for years. There are still people missing from that time that nobody knows what happened to. There are too many countries that have never faced up to what their wartime leadership did and sometimes the government even view it as a good thing. Croatia and Romania especially, but there are others. And lest we forget there was a legion of British soldiers and captured prisoners of war who chose, voluntarily, to fight for the SS. There were British soldiers in Libya who were involved in massacres of Jews.
Given this can we really say that "questioning aspects of the holocaust" and saying that it was not as bad as first suggested is justified or that it is the right thing to do after 60 years? Of course, because it wasnt as bad as everyone thinks. It was alot worse.
only a nazi has a reason for making up these lies. why would a person who doesn't agree with a nazi ideology dispute the testimonies of witnesses who are clearly distressed, the soldiers who entered the camps and found bodies pile up to the cieling, the people who thought they were signing up to help their country only to find they were expected to be involved in atrocities?
why do they downplay the victims of nazi scum? what is their interest in making the fash look less bad than they were? why try and make it seem as though nazi atrocities are comparable to any other army's activities in war? why? they are not comparable, atrocities happen in all wars, and there have been genocides throughout history, but there is clear and incontrovertible evidence of a systematic policy of industrialised genocide, something that, for all their faults, the allies did NOT do in World War 2.
they are aware that gas chambers werent the only method used to kill people - the einsatzgruppen anyone? what about the trucks which the filthy scum used to put people in the back of and then drive around until they died? what about the "jew hunts" and the fact that people used to be forced to do pressups and run around for the SS "soldiers" amusement until they collasped with exhaustion? the reports, written by fash "doctors" themselves, describing the medical experiments which they conducted on innocent people in order to determine how low or high of temperatures or amounts of oxygen the human body could withstand? the sickening "tourists" who paid to go around fash occupied Poland to view for themselves how "disgusting" and "subhuman" the Poles and Jews were?
its the atmosphere of denial that enables people to say, "oh well, you know all things considered, maybe hitler wasn't so bad after all?"
all of this stuff is meticulously well documented because the fash kept records, they took pride in their "work", and although they destroyed some, most of them still survive.
What have these people got to say about something like Hitler's genocidal hatred of serbs and a plan to murder them all, that most people dont know about, again, something that has been delbierately downplayed and denied by many people, to promote war and even ethnic cleansing by encouraging a lack of sympathy? what have these people got to say about it? the ones who say the holocaust was a huge lie by the elite who control the world - the evidence doesn't say they benefitted from "tricking the world" about the holocaust, does it - quite the opposite! they havent got anything to say because they think it's a good thing, they view this and hitler's other views as right and want it to happen again.
or the fact that immediately after one camp was liberated, allied soldiers left the camp in the hands of Ukrainian former SS officers for several weeks, which led to the massacre of tens of thousands of people? the fact that some polish anti-semites and fash collaborators killed thousands of Jews (and german civilians) after the war had "ended"? so many people have an interest in claiming these things never happened when they plainly did, and in blaming ONLY the germans!
or the christian groups who play up the homosexuals in the nazi party and accuse gay people remembering the atrocities as trying to "highjack" the holocaust to promote gay rights, and meanwhile deny that gay people were even targetted? this DENIAL helps them to promote a sick agenda of homophobia and it's in their interest to say that there was no policy of a homophobic nature and over-estimate the role of gay people in the nazi party. Blame the victims.
It's in many people's interest to try and downplay the holocaust and try and make out that their country didn't do anything wrong during the war, or to say that there wasn't a plan to kill certain people, or even that those people deserved it, and it was for "self defence"
Its not "harmless", its not "eccentric". it is downright dangerous and has been throughout the 60 years since the end of world war 2, TOO EASY to deny or even justify these things or attempt to carry on the murderous policy. This is especially true where gypsies are concerned. Its not the harmless eccentric ideas of a bumbling fool. it can be used and is used to justify and legitimise fascism and mass murder.
