Above that...it's important to note that the eastern and western experiences of the Holocaust were very different. A lot more people were "killed in place" in the east, in many more ways by a lot more groups, in regions were the census data was unreliable or non-existent (e.g. the Ukraine). One infamous example.

Most mass exterminations in the east were smaller and less organized. Joachim Peiper's brigade - of Malmedy fame - was known as the "Blowtorch Battalion" for burning villages with alarming frequency. The massacre at Malmedy was caused in large part because Peiper's troops were habituated to casual atrocity and didn't think anything of shooting up small groups of people in passing. What was an exceptional war crime in the western context was just a day's work in the east.

Gotta mock, deride the one's that don't get with the program, get with the tribe. Isn't that how human nature gets the foul balls within the tribe to tow the line, have fear that they are going astray from the groupthink. Free critical thinking = bad = self-hatred! African-Americans use the derogatory term "Uncle Tom's" for the "sellbouts." What's the derogatory term for the Jewish sellouts? Self-hating Jew Stench on a Bench Uncle Soros Critical Thinking Jew Anti-Semite Semite Being ostracized is a powerful tool within any groupthink dynamic.

Please, ellaborate about what you consider holocaust denial. I personally think it is overblown and that there are a lot worse things humanity has achieved.

I'm sure you can find something in the 10 thousand year history of slavery... What Russia did during WWII was worse. Same with what happened in China pre/during WWII. As far as Israel... The issue is the Vatican has an interest in keeping the Joos fighting the Muslims, which is why a staunch support of Israel is held by certain people.

Consideing you think history goes back 10,000 years I’d say you probably don’t know much about it.

Just the ones that are manipulators and liars. Shame you can't tell them apart from the Good Jews (tm). There's only one "solution" to this problem.

Neither did Pol Pot, Stalin, or Mao (who already had his wall). None of them ever chanted "Lock Her Up!" at a rally either. Thus proving that Trump is literally actually worse than super mecha-Hitler. He's some sort of actual literal super-ultra-mecha-Hitler on steroids.

Anybody that compares Trump to Hitler does a disservice to the horrors suffered by the real victims of the Holocaust. It's beyond stupidity. Uh, he's not comparing. He's saying the same thing as you are. But rage quit on. Yeah... What a self-loathing Jew, selling out the tribe... Right? Did you read his whole response? He's NOT comparing Trump to Hitler. Hitler was a pyschopath. Trump a simple con-man. But... I see you have few likes and thank you's by the others that were conned too. LoL... 1 hour ago, DC Tom said: What did Russia do during WWII that was worse? Katyn Forest. But that was *only 20k. So it was bad, but not worse? I ask that as a question. *I say: only because even one death is a tragedy. Should we play number games with atrocities? Throwing around millions is "better" than throwing around 10s of thousands?

I have at least two jooish friends which makes me incapable of anti-semitism. I think there have been worse tragedies than the Holocaust. That also does not mean I am automatically an anti-semite.
