I have seen this thread here for a while. Im going to add my two cents.
If you have to pass laws that prohibit people from questioning the holocaust than that says you are hiding something.
Can you imagine the out cry if the US pass a law prohibiting the questioning the findings of the Warren Commission on the Kennedy assassination or the Government's story of 9/11?
there are no laws "questioning" ----there are laws which do consider HOLOCAUST DENIAL something like a crime in some countries.------the reason would be obvious to anyone who knows the Nazi propaganda----which began "HOLOCAUST DENIAL" way back in the 1930s when the murder began----the reason is that "holocaust deniers" are Nazis------Countries like Germany and France do reject Nazis like you
"there are no laws "questioning" ----there are laws which do consider HOLOCAUST DENIAL something like a crime in some countries."
Well that would seem to be a slippery slope because from what I've seen once an individual "questions" they are quite readily branded a "holocaust denier."
For the "something like a crime" of publishing a book Ernst Zundel served 5 YEARS in jail in Germany.
For a similiar "something like a crime" David Irving served 3 years in Austria.
Holocaust denial is already either implicitly or explicitly a crime in 17 countries, including Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Switzerland and Romania.
There are some who are fine with that, personally I'd like it to be a criminal offense for propagandizing our country to war.
