Its one thing to support a cause or belief. Its quite another to make something into something it is not.
Denying the holocaust has a lot of racial/religious permutations. But comparing that to denying gravity? Give your head a hard shake. If you still think that way, shake harder, rinse, repeat.
Denying the holocaust is related to a disliking of the creation of Israel.
Has nothing to do with science. (Kipperfan has it right-- its like denying the War of 1812-- we believe it because it has been historically documented.)
There's a lot of hate in the world, especially in the middle east. It is politically popular among many to deny a fundamental reason for the creation of the modern Israeli state.

I was making an analgogy in that they both have pretty much irrefutable evidence to support them. I was not making a direct comparisson. Give your head a shake.
And by the way, unrelated to the above quote, though their were other non-jewish victims of the holocaust, it is anti-semitism that fuels the holocaust deniers. There are virtually no deniers of the "Killing Fields" in 1970s Cambodia, the gov't induced famine and terror of the Stalinist regime in the Soviet Union, or the Armenian massacre by the Turks in the early 20th century, just to name other mass killings.
