15.6% of Italians think the Holocaust never happened; in 2004, it was 2.7

According to a new report, Holocaust denial was highest among center-left voters (23.5%) and supporters of the Five-Star Movement (18.8%).

Good thing the Israeli administration took part in a campaign of villification against Ilhan and Corbyn for their anti-Semitism.

      Killing Jews was secondary to killing communists.

      Uhh but one of the main reasons they hated communism was because they considered it "Judeo-Bolshevism" - an ideology created by Jews to take over the world. You know, Eckhart's "Bolshevism from Moses to Lenin".

          They came first for the communists, the socdems, LGBT+ people, the prostitutes, disabled people, and the Jehovah's Witnesses*.

          I just don't think you can neatly separate "the communists" from "the Jews" and say one is secondary, if one of the main reasons they hated communists was because they considered it to be an "Asiatic" ideology disseminated and spread by Jewish people. When you look at the mass slaughter by Nazis on the Eastern Front, they were clearly linked. SS troops interpreting orders to kill Bolsheviks as orders to kill Jews. My Jewish great-uncle served in the Red Army and wrote home telling his civilian relatives to flee further east because "they're killing k*kes and commies out here". From what I understand reading accounts of people on the Eastern Front, that about sums it up.
