Holocaust Deniers should be banned from the forum

Push back, don't silence.

The danger is that stupid, gullible people believe them - and then Jews get beat into unconsciousness or even killed.

They don't decide the truth, they decide the law.

You want some government body to punish people for wrongspeech, yes?

For once I agree with you.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Neither should ignorance of the truth be.

Willful ignorance of out in the open lawfare is your problem, not mine.

 

[Lisa558]

Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Neither should ignorance of the truth be.

And who decides what “the truth” is?

 

[martybegan]

The danger is that stupid, gullible people believe them - and then Jews get beat into unconsciousness or even killed.

Then the solution is more truth, and actually punishing the people that turn ideas into actions.

Anything else will bite us back in the ass because the other side is wholly without any scruples.

Law is not necessarily code. Most of the time it is not.

Even if it’s true about 2.5%, which I don’t believe it is, that is FAR from a genocide. And as far as half of Gazans being displaced, that’s all the fault of the Muslim terrorists. They started it with a horrific massacre and the taking of hostages, and refuse to release them.

1) Why are you blaming Israel for what the Muslims did?

1) Why did you take a thread about a Holocaust denier and steer it to more anti-Israel propaganda about genocide?

Far from geneocide?

Exactly. A lie is when you KNOW what the truth is and you say something else anyway.

Everything else, is being wrong, differences of opinion, exaggeration/dismissal or good old-fashioned ignorance.

So the question is: do all these people driving Jew-hate by saying Israel is committing genocide know it is a lie?

Your hostility toward Jews is showing. Why not accuse other groups of genocide? What about Myanmar? Or what about Ukraine? Is Ukraine committing genocide becuase it just launched a missile into Russia?

The smart folks will figure out that they are full of crap.

......but what about our Democrats here?

Jerry is on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Jay: Welcome back. Talking with Jerry Seinfeld. Jerry, lemme ask you, I saw

some people back there, they look like.. family? Is that family?

Jerry: Yeah, I got some family backstage. Course my family's nuts; they're

crazy. Yep. My uncle Leo, (quick take of Uncle Leo in bet with Lydia, watching

Jerry on TV. Lydia is laughing, Leo is not) I had lunch with him the other

day, he's one of these guys that anything goes wrong in life, he blames it on

anti-Semitism. You know what I mean, the spaghetti's not al dente? Cook's an

anti-Semite. Loses a bet on a horse. Secretariat? Anti-Semitic. Doesn't get

a good seat at the temple. Rabbi? Anti-Semite.

That's like saying push back against the roaches, instead of killing them.
Especially when like lies, they can multiply faster than you can stop them.

Funny!

Reminds me of a joke. When Adlai Stephenson was running, he remarked to his friend that he thought he was going to lose, and his friend said “Don’t worry, Adlai. Every thinking American will be voting for YOU.” To which Adlai responded, “yeah, but I need a majority.”

I support free speech, so I don't support banning them.

I just don't think they should be protected.

Were the Allies in WWII guilty of genocide?

They killed hundreds of thousands of civilians bombing Axis cities

 

[postman]

They don't decide the truth, they decide the law.

You want some government body to punish people for wrongspeech, yes?

So when "the law" says a person is guilty, is that the truth?

Did the Nazis commit genocide? after all, only about a third of the World's Jews were exterminated and the rest beyond the reach of the Third Reich so there was no way the entire group's existence was threatened surely?

Apparently, PKnopp thinks Holocaust denial is funny.

It is free speech like COVID Denial, Climate Change Denial, Election Denial

Shows how stupid you are, but stupidity is not a crime

Even Seinfeld creator Larry David laughs at this.

"During his monologue, David (who is Jewish) joked about picking up women in a concentration camp."

"I've always been obsessed with women and I've often wondered, if I had grown up in Poland when Hitler came in power and was sent to a concentration camp—would I still be checking out women in the camp?" he said, near the end of his opening monologue.

I just don't think they should be protected.

They ARE being protected, aren’t they? Why didn’t the antisemites who defaced federal property with their anti-Jew graffiti get charged and sent to jail? They sent Grandma with cancer to jail for walking into the Capitol.

Seems that the Biden Admin has a lot of tolerance for violent antisemitic leftists, and very little for non-violent Republican old ladies.
