Occam's razor. I find it ponderous that people never seem to view the murder of Jews as an expression of the will to murder Jews.
. I'm sorry, there is complexity in simplicity. My razor simplifies the issue and says: "It's more complicated than that." ...and there are reasons, specifically definable reasons and goals, that are being pursued by people who would insist otherwise, that the emanation of evil seen in Nazi Germany was simply "...an expression of the will to murder Jews", or that it *truly* matters whether it was 5,999,999 or 6,000,000. That is simply a profitable and/or comfortable illusion for some, but nowhere near the *whole* truth... and hopefully, the 'truth will out' if this conference, sociologically fubar as it is, due to unending suppression of alternate lines of thought by anyone anywhere near mainstream, fulfills it's intended purpose of quickly coming to the conclusion that *yes* the gas chambers existed, and *yes* millions of Jews were murdered. Then the real business begins, the business of showing that the holocaust continues unabated. The trick will be to indict Europe and the U.S., not the residents of Israel, who at this juncture in history are quite simply caught (voluntarily or not) in the geopolitical crossfire that IS current events in the middle east. That's the part I'm waiting for. But I suspect that the only decent information will be in the arab press in arabic. I'm not sure how many blog-inches IRNA is going to give it, beyond the pomp and spectacle. "Your free to speak your mind my friend As long as you agree with me Don't criticize the fatherland Or those who shape your destiny. Cause if you do You'll lose your job Your mind And all the friends you knew They'll send out all their boys in blue We'll find a way to silence you But there's nothing you and I can do You and I are only two What's right or wrong it's hard to say Forget about it for today We'll stick our heads in to the sand Just pretend that all is grand And hope everything turns out ok" --The Ostrich, John Kay & Steppenwolf
