We took this out of the blog roundup and put it in its own separate post. Because, frankly, it is just that good:
Calling it Holocaust denial makes it sound almost benign to me. Take Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, for instance. When people call him simply a Holocaust denier, it sounds to me as if he is inadvertantly being misdiagnosed as being merely in psychological denial, unable to believe something so horrible could actually have occurred… But Ahmadinejad’s Holocaust denial is not just a compassionate inability to comprehend the truth of certain historical facts; he is not simply asking for a review of the footnotes in our kids’ history books.
At least for Ahmadinejad, it’s not “Holocaust denial.” It’s Holocaust envy.
It’s not Holocaust denial, it’s Holocaust envy. Done and done.
