Good Argument about the Holocaust claims made by Ziopedia -
Imagine for a moment being the close relative of a rape and murder
victim whose body was never found. Thanks to the testimonies of a
number of witnesses, the authorities could establish that your
relative was raped and murdered and the identity of the perpetrator.
The witnesses also describe in gruesome detail how the accused
disposed of the body without leaving any traces. As a result, in an
emotional trial, the accused got sentenced to the maximum sentence. A
few years later, a stranger approaches the police and newspapers
claiming that it is impossible that the accused could have committed
the alleged crimes. He argues that not only was it impossible - for a
variety of reasons - that the accused could have committed the
alleged crime in the way it was described by the witnesses, but that
he has reasons to believe that the victim is still alive.
What would your reaction be?
Would you be excited that your relative might be still alive - and
follow the leads provided by the stranger? Would you be concerned
that your relative was the cause for a miscarriage of justice? Or
would you go onto a rampage accusing the stranger of condoning rape
and murder and use all your power and influence to make sure he loses
his career, his social network, even his freedom?
The narrative of the Jewish Holocaust, as it was reported to us in
the years following the end of World War II, was and probably still
is the most powerful political weapon in modern history. Not only did
it eclipse reports of the destruction of up to 90% of private housing
and infra-structure in Germany through Allied carpet bombing,
resulting into the death of 650,000 civilians, the slaughter of over
a million Germans and rampant gang rapes by the Communist Red Army,
and the ethnic cleansing of millions of Eastern Germans, all actions
- if considered on their own - would be regarded by most people as
horrendous war crimes. It also mounted continued international
support, particularly in the United States, for the creation of a
Jewish state in Palestine, and became a goose that lays golden eggs
for what Normal Finkelstein calls the 'Holocaust Industry'. Without
the Holocaust, Israel would have never been created and could not
have been sustained. It is its founding stone, its lifeline and its
most powerful weapon.
The question, whether or not to include the Holocaust into the
discussion surrounding the Palestinian question is hotly disputed
amongst pro-Palestinian activists. Some argue that the Holocaust was
too hard a nut to crack. It was so protected by powerful taboos and -
in many countries - criminal laws, that it would be suicidal to touch
the subject.
Other activists, like the author of this article, are convinced that
if a sufficient number of educated people make known to the general
public that there are indeed a number of facts that create a prima
facie case for the claim that maybe there were no homicidal gas
chambers and no systematic murder of millions of Jews, it will
eventually create a critical mass of people demanding that historians
and forensic scientists will be allowed to investigate the matter
without fear of seeing their career destroyed or even be imprisoned.
If those 'Holocaust deniers' turn out to be right, the implications
for the Middle-East will be massive. Suddenly, the public outcry over
Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people would no longer be
suffocated by fears of being labelled an 'anti-Semite'. No longer
would Jewish lobby groups be able to position the Jews as 'eternal
victims' and maintain that there was a need for a Jewish state
'because of what happened in Nazi Germany'.
When Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called the Holocaust a
myth and suggested to send a forensic team to Auschwitz to
investigate whether in fact it was an extermination rather than a
forced labour camp, he took a calculated risk. On the one hand, he
knew that this suggestion would catapult him right at the top of the
'most hated list' of organized Jewry. On the other hand, he knew that
the Holocaust is both Israel's raison d'être and Achilles heel. If we
can prove that the Holocaust was indeed the biggest hoax of the 20th
century, as the father of holocaust revisionism Arthur Butz claims,
that will spell the end of the Zionist project and its continued rape
and humiliation of the Palestinian people. (...)
