Bingo.
It is not tolerable that there are groups of people out there hellbent on erasing another group of people off the map. That is what makes this whole thing disgusting.
By denying the holocaust, one is essentially supporting the principles that were used to cause the actions of the holocaust in the first place.
Interesting point, bleeding red.
