Holocaust denial poll results

[Minister of Truth]

The USA has been pro Israel, forever, I find your claim hard to believe.

The USA is not my teachers (and professors).

[Minister of Truth]

As per usual, I believe you are lying.

I do not know a single person in real life who claims people of the Jewish faith are committed terrorists.

I have seen some people on this board be highly critical of the rightwing governments of the State of Israel and their treatment of Palestinian civilians.

Some are even critical to the point of wanting it eliminated, but, you probably don't notice those people, either.

Also, it's not slander to remind people of why you exiled yourself from this site for a few years.

That's because the Marxist teachers stopped teaching history.

Started teaching American History X. Which only shows America in a bad light.

Shows America in an honest light. It's bad to whitewash history.

I dont know what they are teaching millennials -but it sure it's true world history

The fact you believe the gossip, libel, and slander of some resentful rightwing dudes has no effect on me.

Your inability to tell the truth is widely known and well documented

Looks like others find you to be less than honest

So America is ONLY bad. Can't show when we defeated Nazi's.

If the record could be straightened, please.
The ' Holocaust ' is the term applied to the Nazi program of liquidating ALL of the minority groups and other people that it wanted rid of, colored folk, gays, Gypsies, communists, whoever. Modern research indicates that up to 20 million were systematically murdered, six million of whom were Jewish.
Of the other fourteen million victims the Gypsies refer to their own suffering as ' The Devouring '.
The Jewish victims refer to the horrors inflicted upon Jews as ' The Shoa '.

The point of reminding people of this is that it is incorrect to associate the Holocaust with Jews without acknowledging up to fourteen million other victims.
Those that want to discuss the industrial-scale slaughter strictly in terms of the Jewish victims should use the term ' Shoa ', as Jews do.

Shoah is the Hebrew word for “catastrophe”. This term specifically means the killing of nearly six million Jews in Europe by Nazi Germany and its collaborators

On Holocaust remembrance day all that were murdered are remembered in synagogues Romani people , righteous gentles, homosexuals, communists and the disabled etc

I can name the Gulag camps my uncles were put in. Most of them ended up in the Vorkuta camp system.

My dude, come on, that's completely different. You have an actual connection to the Gulags. The average American can't name a single one of those camps and that's understandable.

No one ignores the Gulag - I probably have more posts about it here than anyone.

Most of American society does ignore the Soviet atrocities.

As cruel as the Gulag was, there is a very fundamental distinction between it and the Holocaust: the Gulag was intended for forced labor, not mass murder.

People may have died in the Gulag due to extreme climate, illness, lack of medical treatment. But Stalin wanted slave labor. His goal was not to murder Gulag inmates. To the best of my knowlege, all my relatives who were sentenced to the Gulag survived. The Gulag was a crime against humanity, but I never conflate it with the holocaust.

The Nazi death camps were clinically engineered and operated for one purpose: industrial scale mass murder of Europe's Jews. That kind of industrial scale mass murder is unprecedented in human history.

The point is that most crimes against the humanity are ignored in America. Pretty much all we're taught about is the Holocaust and the transatlantic slave trade. So for people to not know that much about the Holocaust is hardly a big deal. I'm more concerned that they don't know about all the other mass murders.

I don't know what kind of history you were taught but I learned that the US and its allies defeated the Nazis.

Yep, I read that. Also that they suffered the most military losses.

Anti-semitism is not all that different from bigotry and racism in that there are people who claim to be against it until it’s done by someone they like or agree with politically and then it can be overlooked or passes given. It’s another form of tribalism.
