Problem is that le Pen is a known racist and holocaust denier. If he says anything about anything he should be locked up just for being le Pen.
That's an interesting opinion you have. 100% erroneous, but still interesting.
Le Pens response should have been:
There were 55 million civilians killed in WW2 and estimates of over 80 million people total. If you have a problem with me saying that jews were only a small percentage (<10% or .3% if you use the Official International Red Cross numbers), then you have a simple math problem that a 5th grader could help you with.
Are you smarter than a 5th grader?
Oh, that's right, jewish boys don't learn math do they? Well, that's your problem now isn't it? Neither I nor German 5th graders have such a problem. Don't make your problem OUR problem.
Take responsibility for your own actions like the 60 million Russian civilians that were holocausted under the military leadership of jews, or the 10 million Ukrainians starved to death in the Holodomor, or the Armenian genocide under the leadership of a jew, or the current "War on Terror" that the marxist Neo-con Jews are responsible for.
Like I tried to say, The Holocaust (TM) was just a small side note to the total loss of life. To DENY that fact is to denigrate the lives of every non-jew that died in that war, or the people holocausted by jews before, after, and during WW2!
Am I being clear?
Firstly, le Pen was suspended from the Front National by his OWN DAUGHTER for these comments that happened back in April. Why would she try and kick out her own father if she didn't think that what he had said was wrong?
Secondly le Pen has a history. First, he helped found the Front National with people who were neo-Nazis, pro-Vichy France and the like. Another founder was Roland Gaucher who was a former member of
Rassemblement National Populaire, a Fascist party in France during the occupation by the Nazis. This guy criticised the Vichy government for being too moderate and not executing enough people. He fled to Germany when France was being liberated.
Le Pen has a history of saying stuff that gets him into trouble.
"If you take a 1,000-page book on World War II, the concentration camps take up only two pages and the gas chambers 10 to 15 lines. This is what one calls a detail." This was in 1996. Not much has changed, has it? In 1987 he said something similar. He seems to like saying it even though he knows it gets him in trouble, seems to be the only thing that makes him feel important.
What seems to be the "logic" here is, saying something that is fact, but saying it in a manner which is so loaded with so much other stuff that it comes across as being anti-Semitic. No doubt le Pen is saying this because he wants to be anti-Semitic.
But this isn't a maths issue. It's not about how many people died. It's about HOW people died. It's about hundreds and thousands of years of European history.
Hitler didn't bomb London because he wanted to exterminate all of the British people. He didn't attack North Africa because he wanted to wipe out the people of North Africa. He didn't declare war on France because he wanted to kill all the French people.
In France he didn't deport all of the people and send them off to extermination camps. He deported the Jews, he deported the Gypsies and some other groups of "undesirables".
The reason holocaust denial is illegal in many parts of Europe is because people deny the Holocaust only because they want to be anti-Semitic. Many people manage to talk about the Holocaust without getting put in front of a judge.
Then you go make ridiculous statements about the leadership of Russia being Jewish. Really?
Stalin, who had most of these people killed, was not only a Catholic, from Georgia which is predominantly Catholic, but trained to be priest too. How's that being Jewish?
Lenin wasn't Jewish, he was the first leader. He was baptised in April 1870 is St Nicolas's Church in Simbirsk.
Trotsky was not Jewish. Reportedly of Jewish origin, his parents weren't religious and nor was he.
Some of the people at the top of the party were of Jewish origins like Zinoviev, however they weren't practicing Jews, they weren't Zionists, they were Communists.
And all I have to ask is why do you make such ridiculous statements? Makes me ask questions just as people ask questions about le Pen.
As for you last question, are you being clear? No, you're not.
