There is much ongoing debate surrounding the Holocaust perpetrated by Nazi Germany's leader, Adolf Hitler. The debate over the exact number of victims is crucial for Jewish organizations, which refuse to accept anything less than six million. Anyone who questions this figure faces prosecution, as in countries like France. However, this debate over numbers is trivial because the fundamental human truth about the Holocaust is lost. Murder based on ethnic or religious identity is a grave wrong that must be punished, whether it occurs in one or two cases, or even six million.
The double standards applied to the Holocaust are a crucial aspect of the debate surrounding the number of victims: six million, two hundred thousand, or one million? Stalin was responsible for the deaths of over twenty million Soviet citizens. King Leopold II of Belgium killed ten million people in the Belgian colony of the Congo. The Allies used poison gas in World War I, and in World War II, they bombed Japanese cities with atomic bombs, burning Tokyo with carpet bombing and razing Dresden to the ground. Turkey killed hundreds of thousands of Armenians on the sidelines of the First & Second Balkan Wars and World War I. Isn't this genocide, deserving of historical recognition and the right to be called a Holocaust?
France committed genocide in Algeria, killing over 1.5 million Algerians during 132 years of occupation. They even conducted nuclear tests in the Algerian desert on live human subjects. Imagine, they hanged two Algerian prisoners to film a scene for an American movie in Algeria. France's crimes in Tunisia, Morocco, Africa, Syria, and Lebanon are no less horrific, yet they have not been classified as war crimes. No Nuremberg trials were held for the perpetrators, the colonial powers have not apologized or paid reparations, and these crimes have not been recognized as the Holocaust. The use of that word, which has become a trademark exclusively associated with Jews, is forbidden.
During a lecture at the University of Waterloo in Canada, Professor Norman Finkelstein, an American of Argentinian Jewish descent, was interrupted by a woman in the audience who began to cry and accused him of inciting hatred against Jews, being anti-Semitic, and other such nonsense. Professor Finkelstein responded that he had no respect for crocodile tears and that members of his own family, his father and mother, had been victims of Nazi concentration camps and had been members of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Professor Norman Finkelstein is a well-known figure and the author of some of the most famous and widely distributed books on the Palestinian issue and Jewish lies, most notably "The Holocaust Industry."
The girl who cried during Professor Norman Finkelstein's lecture appeared at a meeting where the speaker was American activist Myron Gaines, known for his controversial style and ideas. From Canada to America, the conversation also revolved around the Holocaust. It's clear this student is a professional performer, and her story always ends with either crocodile tears or a retreat. Myron Gaines denies the Holocaust, which is wrong because it's historically documented. However, the disagreement lies in the number and the monopoly on the term to describe the extermination of Jews in Nazi Germany and Europe. He argues that even if Hitler killed only ten Jews simply because they were Jewish, that would still be considered a Holocaust, and the figure of six million is irrelevant to him.
But what is the purpose of insisting on that number? I mean, the Holocaust only became a matter of concern for Western countries after Israel's victory in the 1967 war, which established it as a regional power to be reckoned with, proving its strength and capabilities. The goal is to exploit international sympathy, and inflating the number makes it difficult for Western countries to escape the trap of sympathy, even if it is feigned and insincere. The West wouldn't sympathize with one hundred thousand or half a million victims, but six million is a different matter entirely.
Jewish organizations received enormous compensation from countries like Germany and Switzerland. Swiss banks paid out compensation for the accounts of Jewish Holocaust victims who could no longer be claimed, or for whom there were no heirs to claim them. Jewish organizations either swallowed up these compensations or paid meager sums to heirs who, after deliberate bureaucratic complications, managed to prove their relationship to the alleged victims. Norman Finkelstein wrote about this in "The Holocaust Industry," but he faced fierce attacks that questioned his credibility and the validity of his writing. He also faces sabotage attempts in his lectures, such as those carried out by the "crocodile tears girl" who has become something of a spokesperson for the Jews, as she has repeatedly appeared whenever there is a lecture or gathering in support of Palestinian rights.
