First of all, may I simply state my opinion, before developing on it, viz. - no, denying the holocaust is not equivalent with defending Adolf Hitler.
Quote:
the answer is yes because most Holocaust Deniers are Neo Nazis and Racists and Anti Semites and hate all Jews
This kind of illogic is the reason for many of the social problems society faces. Just because some people in a group do something wrong, it doesn't mean their wrongs are attributable to their respective groups as a whole.
There are a lot of muslims who'd love to kill infidels without discrimination, however, this isn't to say all muslims would ,like to do so, and to suggest so is simple illogic.
Your statement, may to a large extent, be true, but it is nonetheless a gross generalisation - if all holocaust deniers are antisemitic neo-Nazis, then how do you explain the many JEWISH holocaust deniers (I myself am 1/4 Jewish), and various other egalitarian revisionists? I myself am an anti-fascist and socialist - would you describe me as being a neo-Nazi, simply because of my skepticism towards the conventionally accepted facts underlying the so-called holocaust?

Muslims deny the Holocaust I don't get it because Muslims did not do that evil thing Nazi Germany did ?
SOME Muslims are skeptical about the holocaust because, as a result of the formation of Israel (which was formed largely as a result of the Holocaust), they are now seeing their own people displaced and murdered relentlessly, and, are understandably, angry at the Jewish people. Once again, I doubt the many Muslim Holocaust-revisionists are closet-Nazis - but just healthily looking for answers regarding the holes in the conventionally accepted model of the Holocaust.

Given the evidence ... why do people deny the Holocaust?
Nobody denies the Holocaust as a whole - it's the numbers that people are often unwilling to accept - should we believe that 6million died simply because we're told so over and over again during the indoctr... - education we receive as youngsters? No, we need proof - incontestible proof - especially given the unprecedented influence that the hitherto unproven Holocaust has had on the social and political development of our contemporary world.
Once again: I do not deny the Holocaust, and accept that many Jewish people died in it, I'm simply saying that the numbers are well-inflated.
Quote:
The Holocaust was the biggest example of the persecution of jews so its the biggest argument for the creation of Israel. Take away the Holocaust,and you take away much of the justification for and legitimacy of Israel. Or someone might think that.
You've just said it all - without the Holocaust, Israel wouldn't exist, so why do you think it's important that the proponents of Zionism keep on reciting the details of it like the verses of a Holy Book?
With all the above in mind, I would like to remind everyone that it is my sincere hope that the above post will not offend, nor cause any bitterness or enmity between I and any other person on this forum - I'm simply posting this to spark up some lively and intelligent debate.
