The Holocaust Ideology: A Threat to Human Life
Editor’s note: The following article, written shortly after the Persian
Gulf War of 1991, originally appeared in the now-defunct, Holocaust
revisionist periodicals, Remarks, Issue # 7, July-August 1991,
p.9, and The Spotlight, 20 January 1992, p. 4
IN A DIRECT, literal sense, the Holocaust ideology has become a threat
to human life. For this reason alone, a policy of subjecting it to intense
scrutiny is wholly justified. In order to clarify this, consider the following.
The efforts of a pro-Zionist, Jewish member of Congress, Stephen Solarz
(D-N.Y.), were crucial in getting the United States involved in the Persian
Gulf War. He was a co-sponsor of the bipartisan resolution authorizing the
use of military force in the Gulf. Concerning his motivations and "justifications"
for his hawkish behavior, he made the following admissions.
In a speech at Georgetown University on January 17, 1991, one day after
the U.S. air strikes began against Iraqi targets, Solarz said: "Enough Jews
have been gassed in our century. For that reason alone our [military] strike
last night [against Iraq] was justified."1
Then, in May, at the 85th Annual Dinner of the American Jewish
Committee, he again admitted the Holocaust doctrine was the ideological
driving force behind his pro-war activism. He requested that Congress authorize
the use of force against Iraq because "I [Solarz] was overwhelmed by the
thought of six million Jews killed in the Holocaust."2
The important point here is this. The very idea of the "six million murdered
Jews" motivated Congressman Solarz to co-sponsor the resolution in Congress
sanctioning the use of force against Iraq. The end result? American troops
were sent to the Gulf where a number of them along with thousands of Arabs
met their deaths. The Holocaust ideology has been used (and will be used
for the foreseeable future) to promote war policies that culminate in the
loss of life. In this sense, it is a real threat to human life. For this
reason alone it should be subjected to intense scrutiny.
If we Americans are going to send our soldiers off to die on foreign
soil, then we have the moral duty to publicly scrutinize all of those doctrines
which are used to promote and "justify" such actions.
The reader should ask: "What if the popular view of the Holocaust is
a hoax?" Then, we have a false doctrine, a myth, a lie, which is being used
to promote and "justify" pro-war policies that culminate in death and suffering
for thousands of people—an intolerable situation indeed. And even if the
Holocaust doctrine is true, why should Americans have to shed their blood
for Jews in Israel? Let the Israeli Jews tend to their own problems.
And yet, there is even a more outrageous example of how the "Holocaust"
doctrine is a threat to all life on earth. A book published in 1989,
Testimony: Contemporary Writers Make the Holocaust Personal, is a landmark
volume in which contemporary Jewish novelists, essayists, and poets tell
how the Holocaust ideology has affected their lives and thinking. The testimony
of the award-winning writer, Jane De Lynn, is quite shocking. She wrote:
"Although in general I believe in nuclear disarmament, I am GLAD Israel
has the atomic bomb, and the continued existence of Israel is the only cause
for which I consider it justifiable to use nuclear weapons. Let me put this
in the starkest and ugliest light: I am not sure, but I believe, that if
the choice were between the survival of Israel and that of the remaining
4 or 6 billion peoples of the world, I would choose the 4 million [Jews
in Israel]."3
Get the picture? Because "six million Jewish lives were lost in the Holocaust,"
nuclear destruction of the non-Jewish, Gentile world may be preferable and
justifiable in order to save Jewish Israel!!!
The reader should keep in mind that Ms. De Lynn is not some insane derelict
whom everybody ignores. She is a prominent writer who commands a respectful
hearing in Jewish and Gentile communities. How many other Jews in powerful
places have beliefs similar to hers? The sheer danger of such thinking should
be intuitively obvious.
The only way to expose and refute such thinking is by education and public
debate. In a word, by showing the American people how false the orthodox
view of the Holocaust really is.
Historical Revisionism. Now more than ever!
