Re: Oliver Stone: 'Jewish-Dominated Media' Prevents Hitler from Being Portrayed 'in C
I agree with this, I have stated before in this thread that I have no problem with someone reviewing history because they have a logical reason in believing that something we know about the Holocaust may be false. However, I feel these people are few in number, and most who want to revise history do so from an ideological standpoint.Totally agree with you on this one. It does stand to mention that there is a huge distinction between bat**** crazy holocaust denial, a la Ahmedemontard, and those who study the event in detail looking for discrepancies between the hype and what actually can be proven. In fact, I don't consider a healthy skepticism to be actual holocaust denial but clearly, from reading this thread, others are quick to say otherwise.
I can understand this, and I agree with you that the Jewish focus may make others from other groups angry or upset to see that the deaths of their ancestors/members of that group were killed as well. I think it is more historically relevant to the Jewish people as they were the primary targets, but when teaching about the Holocaust they should include the other targeted and victimized groups. The non-Jewish deaths should not be ignored or forgotten. On my state's capitol hill, there are 6 cedar trees that represent the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust. That was an atrocity and I respect what my state is doing, but I also feel they should include another one in order to remember the lives of non-Jews who were killed. I don't think deaths should deserve special treatment simply because of the racial/religious group someone belonged to while they were living.I can appreciate that sentiment. I think it's important to talk about all the groups that were slaughtered when it comes to the Holocaust. I guess it just bugs me that the Jews have taken it upon themselves to monopolize an issue that wasn't just about them. I think that insensitivity on their parts adds to the growing anti-Jewish sentiment world wide. And the Israel problem certainly does them no favors either.
