` :::Why on earth would he be discussing it there? — Because David Duke is not synonymous with Israel slash democracy? Because this is a discussion page about David Duke? But I know why he brought it up here; it's because David Duke has the courage to question this kind of abuse of political power (i.e., locking people up for speaking their mind). To answer his question: any country that jails someone for denying/questioning the Holocaust does it because of the following alternatives: :::#the dogma of the Holocaust religion could possibly be a fraud, or even worse, a hoax, unlikely, but I'm keeping all cards open. :::#the dogma of the Holocaust religion could possibly be exaggerated, and possibly also used for money-making purposes (see The Holocaust Industry), very likely. :::#the country could be under international pressure to do so. :::#the country doesn't support freedom of speech (obviously). :::#the country is trying to eliminate political opposition by locking people up in jail ('psychological scare tactics'). :::#the person being jailed is speaking the truth, and needs to be removed because the truth is a threat to the political power of the current corrupt government running the country. :::#the country is being controlled or highly influenced by politically powerful Jews (after all, other genocides are allowed to deny, but not the Holy Holocaust). :::Now, if the Holocaust is such a truism, why would you need to lock people up for denying it? Please answer this question. Do not retort by calling me anti-semite, racist, or any other cheap and worthless ad hominem character assassination used as a word of shame. Just honestly answer this question, if you can. On a side note, in the state of Turkey, a so called ``democracy`` (whatever that's supposed to mean nowadays), and a close ally of Israel, people get either killed (Hrant Dink) or locked in jail for bringing up the Armenian Genocide. Ain't that a bitch? Are you, , judging by your logic, insinuating that the Armenian genocide (and the Assyrian Genocide as well as the Pontic Greek Genocide) is a fraud because people who bring it up get killed or locked in jail? That's beyond Chutzpah! ) Happy New Year by the way, and Shalom, or as we Assyrians say: Shlama. Closing words: anyone who thinks people should be locked up in jail for denying the Holocaust, is against freedom of speech, and against human rights. The Holocaust is simply not that holy, and the world should not be controlled by an event in which people were killed a half century ago. That is my personal opinion about it all. —   ·  `
