Reply #29: I denounced the idiot in Hamas who defended leaving the Holocaust out of the curriculum [View All]

[Ken Burch]

All I was saying was that we already had threads going on on this.

It's wrong to deny the Holocaust. While it's not morally equivalent, it's also wrong to use the Holocaust(as the Israeli right often does)to justify the way the Israeli government has treated Palestinians, because Palestinians had nothing to do with that horrific event. The Holocaust was an act committed solely by Europeans, and only Europeans should have suffered for it. This is the position I take, and it's a morally consistent one.

And it was a strawman to imply that I was calling for everyone to "put their head in the sand" on the issue. I have never said or even thought anything remotely like that.
