Today,
the UK Delegation to the OSCE
issued a statement calling for
all OSCE governments to “safeguard historical truth from political manipulation
and emerging digital threats.” The statement depicts Holocaust skepticism as
“present-day threats that corrode truth, undermine social cohesion, and fuel
antisemitism.” The background of this statement was a recent attack in London
that “targeted members of the Jewish community simply for being Jewish.”
Holocaust skepticism, so this official statement of the UK government, is part
of what allegedly “leads to fear, violence and insecurity today.”
CODOH
condemns any act that advocates, promotes, justifies, excuses or condones the
violation of anyone’s civil rights and right to self-determination, be that in
the past, present or future. We moreover reject any criminal action such as
violent attacks, no matter their motivation.
While we
agree with the UK government on condemning such actions, we respectfully
disagree with the claim that a dissenting view on what happened to minorities
persecuted by the Third Reich more than 80 years ago leads to fear, violence and
insecurity today. The increased amount of attacks members of Jewish communities
have had to endure ever since October 7, 2023, have their origin in persons with
a Jewish background and/or with Zionist persuasions starting wars of aggression,
committing war crimes and perpetrating a genocide. Blaming these attacks on
dissenting historians is completely misplaced. In fact, we argue that the shoe
is actually on the other foot.
The wars
of aggression, war crimes, atrocities and genocides committed by people of a
Zionist and/or Jewish persuasion since the late 1930 and in particular since the
inception of Israel have been glossed over, excused or even “justified” with
what is commonly referred to as “the Holocaust.” This presumably unique genocide
is used to commit and then excuse a new genocide, this time against the
Palestinians.
The only
effective way of preventing future attacks on members of Jewish communities is
by preventing Jewish communities and Zionist pressure groups from committing,
advocating, promoting, excusing, justifying or condoning aggressive wars, war
crimes, mass atrocities and genocides.
The
Holocaust is being used to shield Jewish communities and Zionist pressure groups
from being held accountable for such acts.
Skepticism regarding the Holocaust’s misuse for political, in fact criminal
purposes, as well as regarding its historical veracity and accuracy, are
absolutely central for world peace and mutual understanding. Without it, we will
continue on the vicious cycle of excusing current and future wars and atrocities
with past wars and atrocities.
