1. I've never supported Holocaust-denying laws
Conroy ,   Toronto   (12.21.13)
First and foremost, free speech is free speech. If holocaust deniers don't have free speech, then I don't have it, you don't have it, nor does anyone else. Secondly, it really is to our detriment to have these laws - it makes it look like we've got something to hide. Openly debate the holocaust and let the facts win the debate.
2. Well, it's your choice to debate yourself into next bout of

fascism. When I see unhindered debate I will be for all those "relaxations". For now Jewish people are beaten in the streets. Very much unhindered. That's what unhindered right now in Australia.
3. Never supported laws that make Holocaust Denial illegal
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (12.21.13)
Best what people are thinking is out in the open so we can refute it rather than them whispering it behind closed doors. Besides freedom of speech and of thought is essential to a modern vibrant democracy, warts and all.
4. #2 Total bollocks
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (12.21.13)
and that is me being polite. I bet more Moslems than Jews are beaten up on the streets on a daily basis, why do you always have to go for the victim card? I am Jewish and I refuse to play the victim, and I refuse to hide behind the Holocaust as an excuse
5. Why The Suppression Of Discussion?
World Citizen ,   the world   (12.21.13)
St. Augustine said and I quote: “The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.” This really doesn't have anything to do with anti-semitism. It's all about the numbers and who has a vested interest in protecting the count. Jewish factions were claiming that six million Jews were dead or dying after WW1. (That's World War One) This was ploy to legitimise the establishment of the modern state of Israel. The six million number came from an interpretation of a verse in Deuteronomy which was read to mean that six million righteous Jews had to die before Israel could come into being. The very same claims followed WW2. Many Jews died in WW2. No one is denying that. Therefore the label the Jewish lobby hangs on people is disingenuous. But the facts are many other people died at the hands of the Nazis too. Was their holocaust any less different or serious that the Jewish one? I would posit that it was just as tragic. All Jewish people would be wise to open up to the study of these events. Let the cards play as they fall. Otherwise it appears that something is being covered up.
6. Thank You Ynet
World Citizen ,   the world   (12.21.13)
I have tried many times to post my thoughts on this subject. They were always rejected until today. Let us all get past the numbers and all agree that the suffering was terrible for all of victims. Shalom.
7. @4 remind me what the keepish is all about?

Birdi ,   Israel   (12.21.13)
Yes sure you can ''get past the numbers'' by all means do. You were'nt affected nor were your ancestors, so what do you care? Thank you World Citizen for showing your true colours.
9. Jews deny non-Jews, tens of millions murdered, not just Jews
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.21.13)

Birdi ,   Israel   (12.21.13)
Pull the other leg, madam, it's got bells on it. Lol, you Jewish? the joke of the year.
11. ALLOW debate. What's to hide?
Why not?   (12.21.13)
12. Ever noticed how Liberals love freedom of speech
JRebecca ,   Modiin   (12.21.13)
so long as it's their speech, and only their speech.
13. why supress discussion?
ky   (12.22.13)
simply because to deny such a huge crime that was witnessed by thousands is worse than committing it.
