I think the “belief” part is just over the years we get lazy with language. you’re right about that. I think the deniers are talking about the scope and could it have happened on the scale as it is told now.
still, it bothers me that in a country where we supposedly “question authority”, we have a list of things,
the holocaust, federal reserve, 9/11, that we’re not supposed to question.
What is your point? There are many facts that I do not question because I know they are facts. Did World War II take place? It is a fact. Those who would question such are either childish or being petulant, willfully obtuse, possibly in an effort to attract attention.
You are drawing the wrong inference. It's not that they aren't to be questioned. It's that those who raise these questions are spouting kooky conspiracy theories. So if you start spouting the same theories you should expect to be treated like a kook too.
Not same things. Federal Reserve - a triumph for the bankers after over 100 years of contentious politics over how currency should be issued, and by whom. And, a lot of secrecy in its operations. So, it’s still reasonable to ask questions about it. 9/11 has open questions too insofar at least how USA keeps admitting thousands and now millions of Muslims from every damned Krapistan on earth, also how President Bush covered up the Saudi Arabisn connection and even broke his own air traffic shutdown during the emergency response to let Saudis escape USA before they could be interrogated. So, there are some things reasonable people can ask about 9/11. As for the deliberate torture and murder of millions of innocent Jewish and other civilians in ww2, that’s a matter of history as documented both by the Allied forces and by the Nazis’ own meticulous records. Everything is a matter of the record and can be examined in the public archives and displays and records and museums and historical press reports in Europe, USA, and Israel — so there is no question about it. Denying it reveals either an amazing ignorance or a terrible bigotry. But denying it is like denying the United States was founded in 1776 ( Or 1789). Denial of facts does not change the facts. It merely indicates that the denier needs to learn what happened ( or work on his spirituality some). Best, fhc
LOL. Yeah, I ask my students, “When you see a bumper sticker that says ‘Question Authority,’ why should you go along with it it?”
