Because people who deny the holocaust inevitably tend to say that the Jews made it up to garner sympathy and as a justification to create the state of Israel, then usually start rambling on about how the Jews get kicked out of every country they’re in for undermining the state, spout Zionist conspiracy bullshit, and claim the Jews (along with George Soros and the Clintons) are secretly trying to create globalist union, and other such nonsense.How does denying the Holocaust promote racial hatred?
Spare me the claptrap. I'm a liberal to the core and I believe in the absolute right to free speech. Shouting fire when there is no fire in order to cause panic is not free speech and it never was. It's a lazy argument used by people unfamiliar with what free speech really suppose to be. We have slander and libel laws that put limits on expression and I happen to agree with them, for the most part. You have no problem with neo Nazis being jailed for their POV. Me? While most of my family was actually murdered by the actual Nazis and some starved to death under Stalin, I would still defend their right to speak. Because curtailing free expression is what the Nazis and Commies are famous for. If you cannot win in the arena of ideas without shutting down your opponents, your argument is worthless.It's a social utility argument. The old adage is "speech is good, but someone who yells "bomb!" in a crowded concert venue gets to go to jail for a while."
In this country, we put people in jail if they say shit they know is false simply to stir up race hate and profit from it. Like Holocaust deniers. Both headline Holocaust denial trials in Canada involved careful consideration of the Canadian constitution and an in depth examination of whether Keegstra and Zundel really believed that the Holocaust didn't occur and whether they were consciously lying and attempting to profit from stirring up hate against Jews. The court found that both men were consciously lying and profiting from anti antisemitism. So they were jailed.
I have no problem with that. In fact, I really like it. If you have a problem with that, live in some other friggin' country. Canada doesn't need people like you.
And you know the best part?... I get to see your buddy-boy Ezra Levant and your buddy-girl Faith Goldy tread very, very carefully and watch their P's and Q's whenever they open their vile, goddam rightie traps in case they slip up and trip over that line and then............. they get to go to jail as well.
Ad hominem is not an answer.Help. How can you deal with such stupidity. Hard to believe anybody can be that stupid. Time to block.
Really? That's some far-fetched tripe but assuming that may happen, it's a piss poor reason to deny such speech.Because people who deny the holocaust inevitably tend to say that the Jews made it up to garner sympathy and as a justification to create the state of Israel, then usually start rambling on about how the Jews get kicked out of every country they’re in for undermining the state, spout Zionist conspiracy bullshit, and claim the Jews (along with George Soros and the Clintons) are secretly trying to create globalist union, and other such nonsense.
Are you really not understanding this?
You are most definitely anti-free speech. Barriers around speech like this is bound to crumble.Anti-Semites are a bunch of losers who can't compete. Statistics speak for themselves. Jewish people are successful. Many of my closest friends and teachers are/have been Jewish, I am not.
As they say, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Denial of the Holocaust is absolutely unacceptable. Call me what you want... against free speech, whatever.
I am a friend of Israel, and damn proud of it.
Your stance against free speech is ironically free speech. And that doesn't make you a criminal, just a liberal.Anti-Semites are a bunch of losers who can't compete. Statistics speak for themselves. Jewish people are successful. Many of my closest friends and teachers are/have been Jewish, I am not.

That ^^^^^ is more dangerous than a thousand David Dukes.People are simply too stupid nowadays to be allowed to have complete freedom.
I agree with you 100 percent. I would not want toDenial of the Holocaust is absolutely unacceptable. Call me what you want... against free speech, whatever.
If the most powerful nation on earth is willingI am a friend of Israel, and damn proud of it.
This seems ironic in light of Israel's new racist law: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/07/israel-nation-state-law/565712/I am a friend of Israel, and damn proud of it.
What other historical "facts" can a person "lie" about and get sent to prison for?No sympathy. Freedom of speech has its limits. Germany has its own laws. The holocaust is a fact. So in essence to speak against it makes the person a fraudster.
I'll bet good money that the list grows significantly over the next ten years. Not hard to imagine what will be on that list.What other historical "facts" can a person "lie" about and get sent to prison for?
