Do factors other than anti-Semitism motivate holocaust denial?

Answer 1

Absolutely, other than anti-Semitism there is ignorance, stupidity, complete lack of common sense, bull-headedness, a sucker for stupid rhumors.

Answer 2

I've heard people say that 6 million dead people can't be proven...now the motivation behind that sort of thinking can only be looked at as anti semitism, I mean why does it matter if it was 6 million or 3 million or 10 million? What we DO know is that 6 million people USED to be on this planet that are no longer here...and a bunch of pictures, history, and words right from people's mouths who were THERE to describe the atrocities.

Answer 3

Those who are bent on removing Israel from the face of the Earth know that the Israelis have garnered a bit of sympathy for the 6 million who were murdered and the many millions more who were horribly tortured during the Nazi occupation of Europe. Before they can proceed with their plans for the destruction of Israel, they have to deal with that sympathy by denying that the holocaust happened. The Persians have always hated Israel and that lunatic who calls himself President of Iran will stop at nothing to carry out his murderous plans.

Those who think that Ohlmert made a slip of the tongue the other day are mistaken. That was no slip of the tongue, that was a very direct warning.

Answer 4

Holocaust denial interior the u . s . a . isn't a criminal offense. the basically time it isn't allowed is in protection of another crime. for instance, you may't testify in court docket that your criminal movements were justified because of all the "Falsehoods about the Holocaust." The judges have made judicial be conscious that the Holocaust is historic truth and any attempt to preserve your self depending upon denial of the Holocaust isn't allowed in US courts. Anti-semitism is likewise not a criminal offense, until eventually you act upon it and reason damage to Jews because of your perspectives. Then your movements change right into a "hate crime." for instance, you may spout all the anti-semitism you want yet in case you act on it and burn down a synagogue, the burning of the synagogue is seen a hate crime ensuing in additional beneficial punishment than basically undeniable previous arson. Freedom of speech exists, Holocaust denial is criminal, Anti-semitism is criminal. the basically time you'll get in worry for that is in case you advise violence or some kind of "action" antagonistic to Jews as you talk. That comes lower than the heading of "inciting a insurrection" that's unlawful no count number the way you do it.

Answer 5

Although I don't think the holocaust can be denied, the statistics relating to it and its scope can be questioned. It is sad that this gross tragedy is being used to suppress any criticism of Israel and Zionists whose atrocities and crimes against humanity deserve to be exposed. To use holocaust for shutting off legitimate criticism is a betrayal of the victims of all holocausts.

Answer 6

Holocaust denial appeals to the dumb masses who want to ignore the facts and are willing to be led by those whose only real agenda is political power.

Answer 7

Actual ignorance, yeah. Come to think about it, I didn't learn about it until the 5th grade, but I didn't understand it until a year or two after; all I knew was it was bad, because nobody gave me any real details. So perhaps it's necessary to teach them, or for them to do their own research.

Answer 8

If there are other reasons, they are not apparent either in the
world or on this forum.
