If Jews know it happened why so concerned about Iran? Iran is merely expressing an OPINION. Consider the source!
Israeli For. Minister tells UN General Assembly that there is "no greater challenge to our values than as posed by the leaders of Iran," adding that they "deny and mock the Holocaust. They speak proudly and openly of their desire to wipe Israel off the map. And now, by their actions, they pursue the weapons to achieve this objective, to imperil the region and to threaten the world."
It's difficult to understand why Israel would let remarks about Holocaust offend them
I think both sides are ridiculous. Plus, this seems to be a battle between Israel and Iran, not Iran and the United States.
Every school district in the US is required to teach about the Holocaust. Most people worldwide are familiar with Holocaust. I wish they would stop using that excuse.
I wish they would just stop all of this stupidity. They are neighbors. Live with it., Leave the U.S. OUT of it.

I'm not on either side as long as both sides continue to act the way they do. Throwing insults back and forth does nothing to bring about any kind of peace.
I still think its ridiculous.

I'm not a "liberal." I have no political affiliation. At all. I think for myself. I am very familiar with what is going on in the world. I'm not a "dude". I'm 23 and a female. I'm not Muslim. I have no religion if it means following the Catholics, Methodists, etc. I believe in the God within oneself. I harbor no rage,. At all.I have a right to my own opinion just the same as those who answer these questions.You all have opinions. This isn't a classroom. Its a Q&A.e're not here working on some term paper or thesis. If the question is too advanced and if it disturbs you, don't answer. That seems to be the best alternative. Yes?
Please continue to form and post your opinions. But do not condescend to a questioner who just might have opinions far different than yours. And. Do not assume gender, age, political affiliation,
so -called religion. Or that the questioner is harborng any rage.
I believe that covers it
have a good day.

Fatboy says that
"if you knew what you were talking about it might make more sense."?
He adds:
"But alas you are someone who thinks it is alright to kill every person of a certian race and think it is ok. "
Except being Jewish isn't "being of a certain race".
And If you "knew what YOU were talking about you'd know that a Jew isn't a person of a "certain race"..They are of MANY races, you silly!
And I don't think its "alright" to kill ANYONE. no matter their religion, race,ethnicity or culture.
Stop assuming!
and the next question you answer, perhaps it is better if YOU knew what you are talking about. all right?

If you didn't have a holocaust, you wouldn't have an Israel, that's why any criticism of this historical tragedy elicits an angry response. In truth, Iran poses less of a threat to US interests than an overly-angry Israel that would initiate a war with a middle-east country because it feels it must defend itself. The moment Israel attacks another nation, we start the countdown to World War 3. Israel needs to learn to get along with its neighbors. You cannot destroy peoples homes just because you think that family might support a "terrorist." Generations of palestinians have grown up learning to detest Israel. Israel does little to change this trend, choosing to build walls, not bridges. Eventually a price will have to be paid for this attitude.

The same reason that everyone else gets mad when another has an opinion that makes them angry. Ego. I believe the holocaust happened. Sure, maybe it wasnt 6 million jews, maybe it was 4 million, or 2 million, that is arbitrary. Someone claiming one of the most sensative parts of a culture's recent history is both denying the viscious and cruel plight so many jews and NON JEWS had to go through, as well as calling them all liars on that fact. Understandably, that is extremely angering.

Dude ya cannot have a opinion on fact i mean if your opinion is gravity is not real your still going to fall if ya jump out of a plane.
How can you not take the threat to exterminate your country and your people seriously especially after someone already tried that once.There is a quote i have forgotten by whom but is applicable here "forgetting the past dooms you to repeat it "
If you actually paid attention to whats happening rather than seeing though your own preconceived notions u would realize that the Fanatics of Islam use Israel as an excuse to attack the west not the other way around.

Because this is the major event in Jews history...One of the reason of the creation of Israel.This is their excuse for everything they do right now in Palestine...Denying the Holocaust(no matter who does it) it's like saying that Israel is a mistake...
We must take the Holocaust as it is...We don't have to do any research,we have to admit it 'cos the law requires it...See the case of the man in UK who denied the Holocaust ,he is in prison right now for this...So it seems they are really offended by this...

Same reasons Muslims get all worked up when people say anything they don't like against Islam.
And the president of Iran has stated repeatedly they intend to wipe Israel off the face of the earth just like the people who perpetrated the Holocaust..

Because the definition of holocaust is:A great or complete devastation or destruction esp. by fire, A sacrifice devastation or destruction esp by fire, N their past yes , but WW2 no, because they all ways were disobey'n Allah SWA after He gave them guidance At 1 time on earth all races of mankind were Believers of that Religion (means civilization) but now only Caucazoids are allowed 2 enter thur the Mother, what part of the game is that

If 6 Million of your people were round-up and exterminated like animals, wouldn't you get a little irked when the leader of a foreign nation calls the event made-up?

If a lie is repeated long enough and loud enough, it overshadows the truth, and casts doubt upon it.
