Battle for the Holocau$t™ Market heats up
https://www.irishsavant.net/?p=3009

In a visit to Turkey former Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres (now deceased) announced that "We reject attempts to create a similarity between the Holocaust and the Armenian allegations. Nothing similar to the Holocaust occurred. What the Armenians went through is a tragedy, but not genocide." Armenians were understandably outraged.  "We protest this assertive stance by the top diplomat of a nation whose sons and daughters themselves lived through the Holocaust." Peres' sentiments were then reiterated by Israel's ambassador to Armenia Georgia Rivka Cohen, who said the Genocide could not be compared with the Holocau$t™. This resulted in further public outrage and a diplomatic row between Armenia and Israel. The Israeli Government not only validated Cohen's remarks, but went on to suggest that 'this issue requires extensive research and an academic dialogue based on testimonials and proof'.

Yes, the Israelis are saying that claims of a genocide, before being accepted, must be supported by 'extensive research and an academic dialogue based on testimonials and proof'. OK, one more time: The Israelis are saying that claims of a genocide, before being accepted, must be supported by 'extensive research and an academic dialogue based on testimonials and proof'.

Meanwhile, as every schoolboy knows, for most European countries and in the Anglosphere generally, not only does the Holocau$t™ claim not require 'extensive research and an academic dialogue based on testimonials and proof', but anyone looking for 'extensive research and an academic dialogue based on testimonials and proof' will find himself up before the courts in double quick time, probably jailed, and certainly have his career ruined.

I leave you with this from the judge at a recent Denial Trial in Germany.  Judge Meinerzhagen summing up, said it was "completely irrelevant whether the holocaust really did happen or did not happen. It is illegal to deny it in Germany, and that is all that counts in court".

Who came up with the word chutzpah again?
