Re: In the spirit of open debate.

As for the Jews. The anti-zionists always look to suggest that the holocaust did not occur. Which is of course illegal I think in Germany , the US? and maybe the UK? Dont quote me.

They believe that it was a way of the Jewish finally receiving their own land. Bit of a strange conspiracy to stage. But some seem to suggest it was..including ex bnp Nick Griffin

Im very interested in conspiracies (more to disprove) and WW2. Not sure why, WW2 always seemed so recent when I was a kid in the 80s.. still largely prevalent in country's psyche. I think Ive always been intrested in that period and understanding it. Which is why I think I got my anti-racist leanings. But also a desire for truth.  We all know war is a shady business at best.

From what I have read I can only gather two main bits of information. The Balfour Treaty which basically outlined giving Israel or Angola (again dont quote me, but it was an african country) to the Jews this all started off in the late 1800s. Way before Hitler showing up and influential Jewish business men made a point in the Uk and the US to see this through.

By the time Hitler came along and did what he did the idea of a Jewish state had been on the table for nearly 50 years.

I think some people try to suggest the influential Jews tried to play up the level of Jews killed by Hitler in order to push through the formation of an Israeli state. This of course goes against the evidence of the holocaust. Which seems odd seeming as there is so much to prove it.

However I have watched non-biased documentaries suggesting less were killed than suggested and many actually died from disease.  Saying that the Nazis clearly had a policy to detain Jews. The idea of genocide is actually questioned in the documentary as after studying concentration camps such as Auschwitz the numbers killed seem to be unfeasibly large for the set up.


Anyway its all very interesting Im not saying I believe this was the case with the genocide but the documentary lays down some very interesting observations. Not enough for me to believe the detainment of Jews never happend. But as to what the Nazis were actually doing.  And how this all lead to a Jewish state, it all makes for very interesting speculation. Whether its true I cant say, but Holocaust deniers obviously have an agenda so I dont listen to them. Finding unbiased histroical information is hard.

Re: In the spirit of open debate.

I have come to the notion that if you want to really understand something, you need to look at pieces that deal with it tangentally as well a things that are pertaining to the given subject. Usually sources focused on a particular item will be written with bias and have opinion represented as analysis. To that end, a great background on some of the characters in the early zionist movement can be found in the Lawrence in Arabia book by Scott Anderson. It's a pretty light read, and gives some interesting info.

Anyway, not related to that at all, I don't think anyone is marginalizing the holocaust in this discussion (not talking about the interweb crazies people are linking), but are raising awareness that there a lot of ill done and people killed that get overlooked. Obviously the Holocaust was systematic extermination and horrific, but there's a lot of things that need light shone on them as well.

Re: In the spirit of open debate.

I just find it all rather interesting it doesn't excuse events. Whether it was 3 million or 1 million. Or how they were killed. But the truth is the truth if there is reason to believe events were different than outlined Id like to see factually why this is believed to be the case.

Who is saying it's not the truth? I mean, besides idiotic newspaper comments section people, who are a particularly spectacular form of idiot.

Re: In the spirit of open debate.

After the plans for Auschwitz were found and published. Including invoices and other information on its construction many varied things were observed. One, the gas chambers were listed as a mortuary. The ventilation system was that suited just to that. The doors were not sufficient to be that of a gas chamber. The ovens were not large enough to burn as many bodies as reported.

Also eye witness reports of the victims of tje gas chambers are not consistent with that of cyanide poisoning from the zyclon b. Which was used to kill lice. In fact the camp  did have a gas chamber especially for fumegating bed sheets to kill the disease carrying lice with correct ventilation for such an operation.

There are a lot of inconsistency with what we are lead to believe. One things is a fact that it was a work camp and many people died. It seems to be spilting hairs to discuss the finer details. But it interests me, why lie? Or make it up? From either side of the arguement.

Re: In the spirit of open debate.

All of this information is published Hep. All these people have done is researched. Unless of course the documents are forged. But there is nothing to suggest this is the case. I'll PM you a link.

Re: In the spirit of open debate.

It certainly wasnt a holiday camp and the Nazis did have an ideology that involved racial purity. Like I said Im discussing the workings of one concentration camp. Not suggesting anything else.

Re: In the spirit of open debate.

Don't PM me any link to false forged histories denying the holocaust and the scale of the industrial murder in the death camps. This is proven fact, by the Nazis themselves!

Re: In the spirit of open debate.

Im not a holocaust denier Hep and I wouldnt suggest to anyone it was the case. It's a difficult area to talk about so I appreciate that. Ive made no claims. Only reported other peoples. Im not even saying they are correct. Im interested in disproving more than proving. These are the arguements given by those people looking to suggest otherwise. Fine of you dont want to entertain them but unfortunately this type of thing is what racists exploit. Im just looking to broadly educated myself to the topic, which can of course mean taking into account false claims. Or disproving claims. What is our argument to people that have made this research and claim to be unbiased. I do believe it can be damaging especially when used as propaganda by racists. Like I said id prefer to educate myself to it

The idea that I might be anti-jewish or a holocaust denier is hilarious. Half my family is Jewish, completely down one extended side, and my other halfs family is Jewish. And very active in supporting the London Jewish community.Also Id like to point out Im staunchly anti-racist and have taken part in demos and been threatened.

Re: In the spirit of open debate.

I really do find it odd why Holocaust denial exsists at all? Was it to destabilise the allies after the war?
