I read an interesting report on the Jews that attended this event.

I don't know ANYTHING about these guys, apparantly they are pretty much on the fringe of Israeli society. What I found interesting is that:

1) they had a chance to speak at the event and say point blank that the Holocaust happened and to marginalize it at all is wrong.

2) they are at the event to speak out against the way that the Zionist (no negative associations with the term, I just mean someone who wants an Israeli state, if I have misused the term my bad) agenda has been implemented. Basically, I think they have a problem that the Holocaust is used to justify certain actions, versus creating a Jewish state from a different paradigm...interesting

Also an interesting point that Holocaust denial is a crime in the US (true? what about Canada?). If true, we should be placing an * beside our belief in free speech.

Even though the holocaust did happen and people who deny it are so full of **** it amazes me.
