Israel is expansionist, they want Lebensraum.
Understandable really, they have to have somewhere to put all those people you believe weren't murdered in WW2.

This brings us into that "valuable blue collar labor" that the Nazis couldn't have got from any other group.
But then a few posts later Budly says that all the Jews sent to Auschwitz were working for IG Farben.
People's thinking is so befuddled on this issue. Could the Germans have conscripted other nationalities into forced labor? Yes. Why did they use Jews?
No. To separate them out of the population, teach them skills, with the plan to send them out of Europe with skills to form a new country. And what did happen? Israel.

O.k. Harrison, now pretend that you just don't understand what I'm saying.

Jews alive after the war with an Auschwitz tattoo supports this thesis more than it supports extermination.

You do realize that Nazi forced labour policy is copiously documented and that there was an IG Farben trial at Nuremberg? No mention of training the Jews for Israel.

How many Jews did the Ustaše kill? Was it relatively few? I know most of their victims were Serbs.

indeed, relatively few; the total for the whole of Yugoslavia is about 65,000 and the Germans were responsible for most of that, with the Hungarians helping out in one region.
Sometimes I wonder if denier theories can get even more ridiculous. And yes, they never disappoint me...
Umm... I've been to a Nazi dentention camp... one that was preserved for historical purposes (sorry, forget the name of it... somewhere in Germany, saw it like 15 years ago). Would the fact that the "showers" where they gassed people WERE STILL THERE and they showed us the basics of how they functioned be evidence that the holocaust actually DID happen? Or was that all just something done later for special effects?
and here we have a classic strawman, the idiotic denier claim that Nazi policy towards Jews was exclusively about extermination, rather than the widely understood fact that they kept some Jews alive as slave labourers, and killed the rest.
Let's insert some numbers, shall we? Some tens of thousands of Jews alive after the war with an Auschwitz tattoo, out of maybe 200,000 Jews liberated from Nazi camps in 1945, versus about 5 million Jews killed by the Nazis.
Before we get hit with budly's almost inevitable puzzlement about the number of survivors, Holocaust survivor =/= camp survivor. By definition, someone can survive by virtue of being in a mixed marriage or other minor privileged category, in hiding, or by fleeing, or early on by emigration, and therefore be a Holocaust survivor under all recent definitions, but not be a survivor of Nazi camps.
Furthermore: circa 5 million killed by the Nazis, about 300,000 more killed by the Romanians, =/= 6 million. Hope budly's brain doesn't fry trying to cogitate this one over.

Why would the Romanians want to kill Jews? Was the Nazi propaganda machine at work in Romania? Did the Jews do something to the Romanians where they wanted to kill 300,000 of them? What other nationalities wanted to kill Jews besides the Romanians and Germans?
Just asking questions.
Wikipedia says that after August 1942 most Jews from the NDH were transported directly to Auschwitz for extermination, thus relatively few had the chance to be killed at Jasenovac. Apparently the Nazis weren't pleased with the Ustaše's efforts to liquidate the Jews, they being more interested in killing Serbs, so the Nazis decided to take over that operation.
