Excellent points made by gandalf on a general (yet specific) level and the poster cods has successfully managed to

Hypocrisy within hypocrisy: not only are holocaust denial laws an attack on free speech, but in the law itself, one type of genocide denial is allowed while another is not.

Criticising a non - existent God is different to denying the murder
of 6 million Jews & 6 million other people for
which the evidence is over whelming.

There is no elephant in the room.

So just to be clear Bobby, limits to freedom of speech is contingent upon how overwhelming the evidence is on the particular topic in question?

Presumably you would support gaoling/fining people for claiming the earth is flat or that man-made global warming doesn't exist?

The limit on ANY speech should be veracity...based on evidence.
And 'man-made global warming' is still under discussion/dispute.

In this case, claiming that Jews 'made up' the Holocaust for personal ( Jewish) gain is clearly NOT true.

So let's see gizmo. You're saying we should put limits on what a person can say based on what someone decides is proved by the evidence. Absurd!!! Clearly you're so desperate to justify the double standard of allowing anti Muslim hate speech and bannining anti Jewish hate speech that you come up with this rediculous justification. Global warming you say is still up for discussion. And yet the UN says its beyond doubt. Does that mean you should be put in prison for denying man made GW. And where does that put people with new ideas. Just ignorant!!!! You're absurd double standards are half the reason were in this mess with so called terrorists.

Umm No Global Warming is STILL 'disputed' by scientists who ARE actually AS 'qualified' as the scientists who support it...which makes AGW a 'NEUTRAL' concept, at the moment...so, NO the UN (a political organisation) is WRONG on AGW.

And banning anti-Jewish 'hate speech' (like Holocaust denial, which IS incorrect) is very different to banning Islamic extremist 'hate speech' which IS true, based on the Charlie Hedbo attack, and the the Lindt chocolate attack and any number of OTHER incidents...

Sorry, but Muslim extremists DO , in fact, commit verifiable attacks on Western society, on a regular basis...whereas there is zero proof that the Holocaust idea is anything other than true..

I know you might 'hate' Jews, or Israelis... but actual reality shows that Muslim cause far more deaths and damage than the Jews do.

that makes me laugh...

denying something is only words isnt it??>..

I dont know what proof these deniers have ... so it really all comes down to words....

thats like calling you a paedo without any proof just saying it....

making a law about it.. doesnt stop someone sayin g it or thinking it...

its stupid to take any notice of them.....

its not as if they are threatening to kill anyone for saying the Holocaust did happen.....

is it?

Investigation in the Holocaust has been staunchly suppressed by bodies such as the Holocaust Claims Commission which has an agenda to make the details appear as grim as possible. The Jewish run Auschwitz museum adjusted it's figures on deaths from 4 million to 1.5 million under the weight of irresistible evidence. This is not an isolated case. Aerial photographs taken by the US airforce, Red Cross testimony, official German documents, examination of gravesites, examination of gas chambers and evidence of Holocaust survivors themselves all cast doubts on some of the 'facts' of the Jewish tragedy. I don't see how taking a dry eyed approach to history can be a crime.

I have to admit to never seeing any of what you describe..not saying it isnt true.. I was neither there nor know anyone first hand who was..

but to me.. to even mention the discrepancy between 4 million and 1.5 million.. is kind of saying..

well 1.,5.mlllion aint that bad.. Roll Eyes

I beg to differ..

why would the armed forces LIE ?.. what was it to them to lie about what they saw...???

look at the killing fields...Cambodia.. where they say 3 million were killed by Pol Pot..

then we have Rwanda..Genocide.

then we have had Bosnia where thousands more were buried in trenches..

so we are told... none of us were there... we have no reason to believe that people lie about these things...

the holocaust was unspeakable...it was humans at their worst...who died or how many... is really beside the point..this was HUMANS doing unspeakable things to other Humans...no one can deny that.

and still we do it..just the forms change...I admit no gas chambers.....so that mean we must have improved... Angry

I know you might 'hate' Jews, or Israelis... but actual reality shows that Muslim cause far more deaths and damage than the Jews do.

The fact that were having this argument about what is proved, demonstrates the absurdity of your position. Who decides that something is sufficiently proved that it cannot be denied.

Umm 'reality' proves it. It is a FACT that the Holocaust happened...AND it IS a fact that some climate scientists disagree with the idea that mankind is mostly responsible for climate change...

I get that you're a Green, so you think that anything to do with the Jews is a lie...however, there really is enough evidence (from the Nazis and from the assorted Allied sources) to prove, beyond doubt that the Holocaust is NOT a fabrication, designed to make people feel sorry for the Jewish people..

The holocaust is not proved beyond doubt, nor is the theory of evolution, the theory of relativity or man caused climate change and to make it criminal for people to offer more (and often new) evidence and/or new perspective to the debate is not only stupid, its amongst the most extreme forms of oppression; as bad as anything we would label as facist or totalitarian. Its what the church did when it tried to silence Galileo from challenging the official version of "the facts" about the solar system (just 1 in many examples) And in the case of the holocaust, its extremely racist. No race should ever be elevated above the rest so that their account of "the facts" can never be questioned for all time, esp were something as easily and regularly manipulated as "history" is concerned. I repeat, your blatantly hypocritical double standards is much of the reason why young men are becoming radicalized and fighting back.

I don't even think reasoned investigation has to be about accepting or refuting an entire argument; it can merely involve questioning a falsehood here, an exaggeration there. I'm nether a Holocaust 'denier' nor a climate 'denier'.
At the same time I just can't overlook the many inconsistencies with both narratives.

Well according to gizmo you have a free speech right to challenge the views of the overwhelming majority of climate experts, even though the UN and over 97% of the experts say man caused climate change is undeniable but you have no such right to free speech and should be put in prison if you question the consenses of historians that "the holocaust" occured, notwithstanding that there are some historians that don't believe that a holocaust occurred. Why the different approaches. Well it seems because gizmo doesn't happen to believe in climate change but does happen to believe in the holocaust.

Just think, if Andrei had his way, the state would punish you for saying this. If you said this in Germany or France - as well as several other European countries, you really would be punished for saying this. Sobering thought huh?

No, we are talking about people's differing versions of 'truth.' You have concluded cod's version is 'tripe,' so you seek to do what with it, freediver?
