What Was Different About the Holocaust?

For those who would disparage the uniqueness of the Holocaust, Jeff Jacoby explains what's different about it.

The destruction of European Jewry stands alone because it was not a means to any end. The "Final Solution" was an end in itself. Jews were not murdered by the millions in the context of a struggle for power or land or wealth. There was no political or economic rationale for wiping out the Jews; they had nothing the Nazis coveted, and Germany gained nothing by their deaths. There was only the monomaniacal ideology of eliminationist antisemitism -- the determination to track down and kill anyone born of Jewish ancestry. "It was precisely this -- the fact of being born -- that was the mortal sin, to be punished by death," the historian Yehuda Bauer has observed. "That had never happened at any time -- or anywhere -- before."

Jews were satanic, Hitler said -- the seed and prototype of the Judeo-Christian values to which the National Socialist revolution was so violently opposed. Their very existence was a threat to the Nazi creed of Aryan power, blood, and soil. Consequently, they had to be physically destroyed. Not segregated, not expelled, not forced to convert or assimilate. Destroyed.

...

Hitler has been dead for 66 years, but in the ongoing campaign against the Jewish state, Hitlerism thrives. "Its geographic center of gravity has moved to the Middle East," writes Robert Wistrich, the foremost modern scholar of antisemitism, "but the tone and content of the rhetoric, along with the manifest will to exterminate the Jews, are virtually identical to German Nazism. . . . Radical Islamists of every stripe openly proclaim at every opportunity that the eradication of Israel is a divine commandment, the will of God, and a necessary prologue to the liberation of mankind."

Hitler's New Hollywood PR Guy

The New Hollywood: The New Nazi Narrative, Oliver Stone, Hitler's New PR Guy

And while it is astounding, it is not surprising. If you live in a world void of reality, where there is no good or evil, right and wrong, well then...........Hitler can be seen in "context." I am sure all the JINOs and Jewicidals in Hollywood will be lining up to finance the nazi Stone.

And props to the NY Times Crimes for hiding this rancid filth behind their paywall.

This is the slippery slope of the left. The trains will be leaving the station sometime in the near future.

Oliver Stone: 'Jewish-Dominated Media' Prevents Hitler from Being Portrayed 'in Context' Newsbusters

Director Oliver Stone belittled the Holocaust during a shocking interview with the Sunday Times today, claiming that America's focus on the Jewish massacre was a product of the "Jewish domination of the media."

The director also defended Hitler and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and railed against the "powerful lobby" of Jews in America.

Stone said that his upcoming Showtime documentary series "Secret History of America," seeks to put Hitler and Communist dictator Joseph Stalin "in context."

"Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support," Stone told reporter Camilla Long during the interview, which can be found behind the paywall on the Sunday Times' website.

Stone said that, "Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30 [million killed]."

The Sunday Times interviewer then asked why there was such a focus on the Holocaust.

"The Jewish domination of the media," responded Stone. "There's a major lobby in the United States. They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f***** up United States foreign policy for years."

The director, who recently met with Iranian President Ahmadinejad, also slammed the U.S. policy toward Iran as "horrible."

"Iran isn't necessarily the good guy," said Stone. "[B]ut we don't know the full story!"

The Scarface screenwriter had even more encouraging words for socialist Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, who Stone called "a brave, blunt, earthy" man. The director has recently been promoting his Chavez-praising documentary called "South of the Border."

When the interviewer pointed out that Chavez has had a less-than-stellar record on human rights, Stone immediately dismissed the criticism.

A Jewish Confusion

Warmongering Jews use McCarthyite tactics that advance the notion that the Holocaust was ‘God’s Will’ for the Jews. They believe that all Israelis must die to usher in the End of Days [the death of mankind and the coming of the Messiah].

“UPDATE IV: One of the points which the Haaretz Editorial made in opposing the exclusion of Finkelstein is that right-wing Jewish-American extremists who, unlike Finkelstein, do pose a real security threat, are regularly allowed entry into Israel: "the decision is all the more surprising when one recalls the ease with which right-wing activists from the Meir Kahane camp -- the kind whose activities pose a security threat that no longer requires further proof -- are able to enter the country."

At Open Left, Paul Rosenberg examines an analogous inequity: while even the mildest critics of Israel on the Left are routinely demonized by neocons as "anti-Israeli" or "anti-Semitic," truly extreme hatemongers on the Right -- such as John Hagee -- are not only tolerated but embraced. Thus, Joe Lieberman, who previously compared Hagee to "Moses" in the midst of bathing Hagee with lavish praise, still refuses to repudiate Hagee or cancel his scheduled appearance at a Hagee event even in the wake of Hagee's comments that Hitler and the Holocaust were "God's will" to drive Jews back to Israel. Few things are more destructive than those like Lieberman who transparently exploit "anti-Israel" and "anti-Semitism" accusations to silence debate and for their own political gain.”

Evil Jewish Acts?

Evil Jewish Acts

In 1938 Gandhi advised ALL Jews to accede to the Nazi desire to exterminate them. This advice came from his experience in India where it met with remarkable success. In this Ghandhi seriously underestimated the ability and will of the Nazi death apparatus.There were 153000 Nazis at work in the death camps. The estimate that 'only' 371000 Jews died in the camps suggests great inefficiency by the Germans.After the war 600000 Jewish Holocaust Survivors immigrated to Israel. Using the low death figure, one might conclude that two-thirds of Jews evaded the Gestapo for six years.The New England Medical Journal now claims that 'only' 151000 Iraqis died due to the US invasion. They claim that 4/5ths of all deaths were from natural causes.The British medical journal Lancet updated the violent deaths every week during the war to arrive at the estimate of 1.2 millions killed.Statistics lie according to the predilections of the statisticians, or the people who were paying them.Any minority group will exaggerate the damage done to it by those in power. The Gazans equate their present plight to genocide. If the Israelis desired this, they could easily have accomplished this in a bloody morning.The Arabs have not controlled Palestine since the year 1250 AD.Jewish terrorist groups such as the Stern Gang fought the then ruling power the British. The Jews executed the standard terror tactics well known in many circles.The Jews were neither the first nor the last people to stake out a territory.Why are they singled out for inspection?
