But the Nazis – for the Nazis we always have a warm spot in our hearts. So Steve allowed a few to sneak through – which the ubermenchen on their forums couldn’t believe, incidentally.
Still, the Nazi Dane person was inhabiting the same universe of ideas as we do, albeit the extremely faraway corner of it. Jason Vega, on the other hand, was pure alien:
“There were over 135,000 Jews who served in Hitler’s army and in the ‘death camps.’ HITLER was a JEW. According to new DNA studies Jews aren’t even Semites. They are azhkaNAZI from the Balkans. You can’t regulate lies like your Talmud says its ok to do. WE SEE YOU!”
It’s like getting a full hour of David Duke condensed into a very painful 30 seconds. Ouch…
Chris Sky, Toronto, Ontario, made this point:
“Over 12 million people died in Russia alone… but ‘6 million Jews’ (if you believe that ridiculous number) was obviously leaps and bounds more important than the other tens of millions killed during WW2.”
OK, mood change, I’ll be serious for a moment: Dear Chris Sky, never mind your assertion that 12 million dying in Russia is a well checked number, but 6 million Jews is ridiculous – I don’t really care what you think. However, there is a fundamental difference between the death of all the victims of all the wars ever, and the six million of my nation who perished between 1939-45.
All the other victims were killed in war. My people were executed by a massive, state-run operation, meticulously planned by a well staffed committee, with funds and resources allocated, inter-governmental memos exchanged, thousands of initial assembly areas established in ghettos, regular collection actions carried out with brutality and dedication, and the product: Jews of all ages, shipped to a well designed industrial murder state named General Government, encompassing hundreds of labor and death camps.
Nothing in human history has ever reached this level of Satanic precision. Not the dropping of nuclear bombs on Japan, not the firebombing of Dresden, not the bombing of North Vietnam and Cambodia, not anything, anything in reality.
It is this spectacular precision of the evil Nazi machine which now sweeps anyone who denies it, swallowing him up into a black hole of evil where details don’t matter, and subtleties are, by definition, grotesque. It is the unimaginable application of 500 years of human discoveries and inventions, from Marco polo to Edison, to the orderly elimination of an entire race which continues to horrify any person of conscience, and immediately places anyone who in any way denies it in partnership with Satan himself.
Now, that wasn’t so hard to understand, was it, Chris Sky?
Finally, the abortion folks. Whenever we run a piece on the Holocaust, we inevitable get this kind of comment, in this case by Baldino Bingg from Terry Parker High (I’m pretty sure it’s a made up name – whoever heard of Terry Parker high?):
“Notable absence of a Holocaust museum for the hundreds of millions of aborted babies and the ongoing geNOcide of the white race. Wonder why?”
See, that’s a common combination of white supremacist bigotry with the anti-abortion crazy propaganda, and I think those two really fit well together.
To the point, I’m sure some nut has already put together a holocaust museum for fetuses. Google it. But regarding equating abortion with genocide – not on this Jewish website. Jewish law may frown on needless abortions, but nowhere does it equate it with murder, and in every case, up to the moment of delivery, it prefers the life of the mother over the life of her fetus.
But the white race comment is an interesting clue as to where those folks come from.
Finally, Diana Kirkpatrick of Fayetteville, North Carolina, wrote:
“I personally know Holocaust survivors who lost most of their families who were burned to ashes in these camps. Including some members of my own family. How can anyone dare say that the Holocaust never happened?”
Dear Diana – I have no idea.
