I have a serious problem with holocaust denial laws. maybe im just a nieve
american...but i believe that freedom of speech is the most important value
a nation can have.
denying the holocaust is disgusting, bigoted, hateful, untruthful..and
frankly disgusting. but frankily. having criminal penalties for people who
question or deny the holocaust only makes martyrs out of them. and when you
pass laws criminalizing a point of view...one can legitimately ask "what are
you trying to hide?". our society is built on the value that truth will
always win over lies and deciet. why cant holocaust deniers be defeated in
the halls of debate and facts? why are we so afraid to take up the
challenge of prooving the disgusting truth of the holocaust? are we just
too lazy to take up the challenge? if you believe in the power of
truth...you will not fear debate about the holocaust....cause we all know it
happened. criminalizing holocaust denial...only gives ammunintion to the
enemy. and only dictatorships pass laws against questioning historical
events. do we really want to go down that road?
