1. Eu ought do more
Zechariah   (04.17.15)
EU is critical of Israel and there is evidence of cruelty to the Arabs but this Holocaust Denial does not make for better relations .Iran still plays a shocking role worse with their last ruler and Nasrallah of Hezbollah is an severe perpetrator of Holocust Denial revealing NeoNazi Sympathy .the Eu knows about this phenomena and does little to effect a changes .
2. Holocaust Recognition
Karen Levin ,   Delray Beach, FL USA   (04.17.15)
It is not only the Arab world where the Holocaust is either denied or not taught. The U.S. is almost as guilty - there are very, very few classes which address the Holocaust in the U.S. - even when it comes to a "special event" whereby a lecturer in brought in to schools - a frequent happening for non-Jewish literature and/or events.
3. I'm not surprised . . .
Mike ,   RKDH   (04.17.15)
When trendy lefties refer to it as "Shoah" then you invite denial. The proper name is Holocaust (or cold blooded murder) or if you prefer "industrialized genocide". Tell it as it was . . . don't make it sound more palatable so as not to offend sensitive feelings. RKDH
4. Forgetting
Steve Grumman ,   Tucson, AZ, USA   (04.17.15)
As we move further away from the horrors of WWII, people tend to wipe the ugly memories from their minds and concentrate on today's realities. In most parts of the world, the holocaust is not a significant event because it did not happen there and it happened very long ago. It may be taught in history classes, but the amount of time dedicated to it decreases as more history is piled upon existing history. Sad but true, we tend to let the past be the past.
5. Oh my; and THAT's our biggest problem with Islam?!

6. A growing trend?
tiki ,   belgium   (04.17.15)
There was never a Holocaust acceptance in the Arab world. More than 50% is illiterate, so how would they know! The rest, who is somewhat educated, is brainwashed since childbirth by hating the "other". The problem of Israel/Jews is that they care to much what "others" think of them!
7. Oh...is that news?
Koose E Mack ,   NY US   (04.17.15)
We should be much more worried about the coming Holocaust they are planning for us...Yimach Shemam!
8. The worlds needs a comprehensive honest study
JRS   (04.17.15)
study of the Holocaust. Not just one version that is biased? Why would anyone be against setting the record straight. the holocaust is not a matter of faith that cann't be questioned.
9. OBAMA AND IRAN
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (04.18.15)
OBAMA THE WEAKLING. IRAN SOON TO BE DESTROYED, FOR SURE. OBAMA WHAT A LAUGHING STOCK, EVEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN SEE WHAT A WEAKLING HE IS. THEY SAY HE IS THE WORSE PRESIDENT THEY HAVE EVER HAD. RECOGNITION OF IRAN HE IS IGNORANT OF THE IRANIAN MIND AND IRANIAN REGIME.
10. 5 million ignored in Israel too
Mo ,   Be'er Sheva   (04.17.15)
The Nazis killed a total of 11 million including Gypsies, Poles, communists, homosexuals, Soviet POWs, and the mentally and physically disabled But sadly these people are never mentioned here
