I’ve seen a sort of inverse Holocaust denial from (a small minority of) Zionists. Obviously they don’t claim the number of Jews killed is exaggerated; rather, they insist that it was only Jews, that the rounding up and gassing of Roma, LGBT, Communists etc. didn’t happen – or, chillingly, shouldn’t count. > [@Monty](#): > > Whenever I’ve queried said CTs on their particular flavor of the moment “theory,” every time it ends up with one of the obviously anti-Semitic “theories” being touted as proof of the flavor of the moment. On the Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe podcast not long ago, there was a sort of field report from someone who’d been to a CT convention who reported that every nutjob narrative eventually included Jews/Judaism, in varying levels of veiled terms. > [@Simple\_Linctus](#): > > I am rather skeptical that many of the “labelled” anti-semitic conspiaracy theorists are actually anti-semitic though, at least in a bigotted way. You can believe in a shadowy group of jewish people controlling things without believing most jews are in on it (likewise freemasons etc). There are levels of antisemitism (or any form of bigotry). I think it counts if you think all people who act adversely to the good of humanity are either Jews or taking orders from Jews; I don’t think this is meaningfully mitigated if you don’t think all or even most Jews are in on it. That may not constitute antisemitism, but I would agree with Marley that it’s certainly a sign of it. ---

Wait a minute…do you mean that all I have to do to keep them away from my house is to become a dictator, and set up a bunch of concentration camps??:eek: “Hmmmm…” said handsomeharry, looking off into the distance thoughtfully,as though intrigued. ---

Anyone who denies a matter of historical fact, regardless of what that fact is is IMO mentally ill. Its on film, its on photos, there are first hand accounts from the victims, and first hand accounts from the liberators, even though those liberators didn’t particulary like each other . As in Russians and the Western allies. Its like denying D Day happened, or the Blitz, or the nuclear bombings. You have to be seriously F#cked up to deny that it happened.
