#1 Wow.

"If America and its allies claim so fervently that the Holocaust should be considered a historical reality, they should provide proof and documents that prove their opinion, which [has become] the cause of the occupation of Palestine and the countless crimes of the Zionists However, despite this rational and scientific [demand], not only have they not provided and are not providing documents and records to prove the Holocaust - as they have none - but they also threaten those who deny this myth with condemnation. The UNGA resolution on Friday was the most ridiculous example of this "

Try the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. for 'proof'. I can still smell the shoes....

(Toward the end of the exhibit is a large, long room with shoes found at a concentration camp piled high on both sides of the aisle. Piles and piles of shoes, with a musty leather smell - not like stinky gym shoes. Both the image and the smell have remained with me for several years now.)

#2 Bobby, you are right, of course. But men like this cannot be swayed by reason or fact or else they would not hold the views they do. The only answer, it seems to me, is to bring war to these latter day Nazis and put them to the sword.

#3 The problem is that the Holocaust Museum is in the US. Therefore, the editor has never been/will never be there. And he would just deny it.

Despite the volumes of records taken from the camps, the testimony of eyewitnesses, the numerous trials from Nuremburg on, etc, they will not believe.

#4 Easily fixed: fly him here. Walk him into the museum. Escort him through each exhibit. Slowly. Then do it again. Provide him with a copy of the two or three best books in the gift shop. Put his ass back on the plane and send him home.

Then monitor his next column and see if it made a difference whatsoever.

#5 It won't make any difference, Steve White. Because to him it doesn't matter whether it's true or not, merely that it hasn't been finished.

#6 We sit here and argue the logic of a group of people thatblame then Kill women who are raped in the name of family honor, think sex with donkeys and boys is ok, and 72 virgins are waiting for them in the after life?? We would be better off arguing with my 8 year old over his PS2 and bed time, at least the agruement would make sense. Soon we will get to the us vs them in totallity and nuke the problem away, I just pray it happens before my sons are of age to fight.

#7 Who can blame them when ex-Presidents argue that there are too many Jews on the Holocaust Commission? Jimmy Carter is a disgrace.

#8 "If America and its allies claim so fervently that the Holocaust should be considered a historical reality, they should provide proof and documents that prove their opinion"

Survivors who saw Germans kill Jews say the Germans did it. Germans who did it admit to doing it. The only thing left is for the victims to say the Germans did it. But they can't.

#9 My dad visited Dachau a couple of days after it was captured, and refused to have anything to do with the Germans afterward. I invited him to visit several times when I was stationed there, and he absolutely refused, every time. The only thing that ever made him hate the Germans was Dachau. Unfortunately, Dad's dead now, as are most of his generation. I'm sure they'd have a way to "convince" the Iranians of the Holocaust, if nothing else at bayonet point. That may be the only solution to the problem the entire Islamic world will ever understand.
