A Jew Who Is A Holocaust Skeptic

[danielk]

The Holocaust happened. I'm still uncomfortable with some scholars being imprisoned for questioning the nature and extent of the Holocaust.

Feels a bit like Stalinism to me.

Um, "questioning the nature and extent of the Holocaust"? As much as I agree that the law should be abandoned, the manner in which you describe it is baseless hyperbole. Even if you look at it worldwide, there aren't an awful lot of people who went to prison for Holocaust denial. You have to be quite notorious to achieve that.

This doesn't mean the laws are right, but there are obvious historical reasons for their existence, which should be taken into account before making public pronouncements about "Stalinism".

For your reference, Stalinism meant that you could end up in prison for cracking a single joke about Stalin. And this is not hyperbole.

The Neo Nazis seem to be experiencing a resurgence. I don't blame Germany for cracking down on them.

Is there any evidence (apart from Mondial's word) that Cole has returned to Holocaust denial and said that his recantation was due to death threats?

I couldn't find anything from a google, and don't fancy a close examination of the neo-Nazi websites.

So Mondial claims that only one Jew denies the holocaust.

Is he trying to argue that Jews are more intelligent than other races?

If it was Stalinist...they would be dead, not in prison. It's more sort of South American Statist Dictator than Stalin.

Take a closer look. Only people who actually break the law, as it is in the legal code, are imprisoned, and only for the amount of time prescribed in the law for such cases. Not other punishments (such as torture) are administered. The accused get to stand full and fair trial in front of a regular court.

Does this sound like a dictatorship to you?

What is with the insistence that the truth of an argument can be guaged by who supports it?

The Grand Rabbi of Prague could come out with a statement denying the Holocaust and it wouldn't change the facts one bit more than the Pope declaring Earth to be the center of the universe.

Why the Grand Rabbi of Prauge when you can dig around in the most obscure jewish sects until you find a half-educated, senile and demented rabbi that hasn't even come to terms with the outbreak of WW1? You see, the antisemites has an uncanny ability to find jews that are on par with troofers - the joe sixpacks of the jews is kryptonite to the antisemites.

Wow...a Jew who didn't believe in the Holocaust. That IS rare. I'm convinced.

Course there would be more a lot more if 67 percent of European Jews didn't mysteriously disappear in the early 1940's.

How far outside the realm of reality do you have to be to actually believe that the holocaust didn't happen. I can't even fathom that kind of denial. It would be like saying that there's no such thing as Australia. That would be about the same level of delusional I think.

On the other hand... who says all of them don´t believe it? Who says there aren´t some, maybe many, of them who simply deny it because it increases their chance to go back to having some kind of political power?

I get this idea because, among other things, Holocaust Deniers tend to hate jews so fanatically that I find it hard to believe they´d try to defend a dictator who they think didn´t try to exterminate the jews.

The politically correct media and individuals like to smear all holocaust skeptics as "nazis", "fascists", "anti semites" etc. But how do they explain the case of David Cole who is a holocaust skeptic and a Jew? He made a documentary about his visit to the Auschwitz camp -

He is also the author of "46 Important Unanswered Questions Regarding The Nazi Gas Chambers" -

After this activity he was threatened with death by thugs from the JDL (Jewish Defense League). As he was looking after a sick, elderley relative and the JDL published his home address online and was asking people to physically assault him he recanted his views. But after the relative died he took back the recantation and stated it was because of the death threats. He contacted Bradley Smith from CODOH (Committee For Open Debate On The Holocaust www.codoh.com ) stating he again supported holocaust revisionism. His present whereabouts are unknown.

In 1994 David Cole appeared on the Phil Donahue show along with Bradley Smith - www.codoh.com/video/David_and_Bradley.wmv

That clip also has Michael Shermer (Skeptic Magazine) on the show. Awesome find.

If anybody else watches the clip, let me know. There are several interesting moments on that show.
