It absolutely shouldn't be a crime, and I am sure it will never be one in the US. Passing any law, saying you shouldn't question something is stupid, and just another step to having a totalitarian government. |

In some countries like the UK, Genocide denial is legal, in some countries all Genocide denail is illegal, in some countries however Holocaust denail is illegal, but denial of other genocides remains legal. What do you think of these double standards, and what do you think of this type of legislation in general. Personally I am opposed to them, the laws themselves are often a source of suspicion and may worsen the problem they try to stop. |

Man your threads are scaring me more and more. By the way, do you see a correlation between the countries that have anti-Holocaust denial laws and the countries in which the Holocaust took place? |

Being forced to believe things is the realm of fascists and bible belt republicans. |

I don't think suggesting a change to car insurance premiums, if backed up by statistics, makes someone a neo-nazi but oh well. |

I, for one, am laways appalled by this 'compensation' some countries want to make up for either allowing or perpetrating the holocaust. It's a personal issue for me. Trying to condemn fascism by using fascism is stupid. |

I don't think that it should be a crime. For example, if I walk up to a random person on the street and say, "You killed everyone in Russia!" then he would be breaking the law if he denied it. |
|
I think that calling a persons beliefs illegal is invalid, and very totalitarian/dictator like. |

I would rather die on my feet then to live on my knees.
It is just a mechanism to control speech as well as implement social conditioning for geo-political purposes. |

They are a small country surrounded by countries that despise it, which without U.S. funding and support, they probably would have been overrun a long time ago. Israel needs Palestine's land for security and expansion to make itself more resilient, which is necessary to guarantee its survival. Partially, it is despised by how it acts, which it acts very arrogantly etc.. The reason it acts the way it does is so that it won't be seen as weak. |

Alternate solution to Israel's problem... |

Isreal is worse than Iran, and people estimate they have like 150 nuclear weapons. Of course that is just an estimate because Isreal is one of the only countries in the world that refuses to agree to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, and is the only one that actively hides them. |
|
Turkey is part of NATO, there's no way it's getting in a war over this. If Turkey and Greece have managed to keep their hands of each other for this long, then Israel has nothing to worry about. |
|
If Isreal starts a war they will be cutting their own throats. I don't see how they could possibly win. In a war against turkey they could never win. Best result would be a long drawn out war, in which they kill a lot of people and eventually there is a cease fire. I wouldn't call that winning though. I can't even think a winning situation for them. |
|
Well, Israel is kinda backed by the US. |
|
No, it shouldn't. Denying the holocaust will probably piss people off, but I definately don't think it should be a crime. I mean, what's next? Outlawing non-harmful drugs and put millions of people in prisons, together with actual criminals, like rapist and murderers? Oh wait. |

We should declare genocide on those who deny genocide. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
