The Holocaust Industry

1  2018-05-07 by RMFN

S.s. the book "The Holocaust Industry" by Norman Finklestein outlines how the most documented event in history is used by "survivors" for profit.

The Guardian newspaper in London calls it “the most controversial book of the year”. The Sunday Times labels it “explosive”. The Evening Standard says its author is a “maverick.” What do these newspapers have in common? They’re not American. [includes rush transcript]

The book is called The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering. It’s two pages in Britain’s Daily Mail and the Guardian is serializing it. It was number five on the bestseller list in Switzerland for two months. While it is burning up the British airwaves, it’s received almost no attention here in the US. In his book, political scientist Dr. Norman Finkelstein contends that what he calls the compensation industry has become an outright extortion racket.

Finkelstein has been called a Holocaust denier and has been the subject of major controversy and outrage in the compensation world. But he himself is the son of Holocaust survivors. Both of his parents were survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto and Nazi concentration camps. His mother was at Majdanek and his father Auschwitz.

Dr. Finkelstein is clearly an anti-Semitic neo-Nazi

He most definitely is.

Having miserably failed the last day or two to convincingly argue the holocaust didn't happen you have changed tack I see. Interesting

What the fuck? When did I say the holocaust didn't happen?;

Standard tactics from yoh again.

Remind me is war ever justifiable, you didn't seem able to decide

Lol. Ohh. Nice proof.

Well you got your views mixed up earlier as you know

You only have to look back at the previous conversations we've had, lots of denial going on there

Ah. I see.

See that you contradicted what you said just yesterday? See that you denied the holocaust and wish to try bogging people down in meaningless one sentence replies?

What are you talking about??

Yesterday you claimed that "war is never justified" yet earlier today you said it can be justified. Care to explain the sudden change?

You're ignoring the context.

Which is exactly? Surely such a cast iron claim as "war is never justified" isn't going to need context?

Keep on sliding.

Sliding? Just trying to ask you why you changed tuune so quickly. Almost like a different person

Lolol. We are legion.

So you are unable yo answer even the most basic of questions?

Again, very illustrative

;D

So for all watching this shite, he has never answered a straight question, acts as if he is multiple people behimd the screen and posts lots and lots of shit as well as being a compulsive liar

Pretty intricate conspiracy theory you've got going there. Almost top minds level.

Hardly intricate, I've noticed you struggle with basic logic but merely noting how you have behaved.

Oh, so you've picked up on a pattern?

Of you contradicting yourself, never engaging with the actual debate etc.

It's an unhealthy pattern

Now you're a psychologist?

Well it is if you want to try and think critically.

So war, ever justified?

It depends on context.

You said it is "never justified". Do you at least admit that you were wrong to say that then?

Reminder, never is definite and suggests that under no circumstances is it acceptable. Bearing this in mind, were you wrong to say that

I said what is never justified?

War, you said it was never justified. Answer this very simple question.

Even you could answer this question

No. It's not that simple.

You said that it was never justified, I've explained what never means. So is it ever justifiable, if you say it depends on context then you do believe it is.

That however contradicts what you said and you could easily admit this

What? It in no way does.

Ok, I'll explain this simply.

You are arguing these two things.

1) War is never justifiable

2) War is sometimes justifiable depending on context.

There, clearly contradictory statements that any one with mental capacity can see

Where did I argue that?

Would you agree those two statements I outlined before are contradictory?

I replied to the one where you said it was never justifiable a few hours ago.

Another tactic of yours, play dumb after clearly making a fool of yourself.

Ohh, I'm the fool?

Were the two statements I outlined contradictory?

Not necessarily. I will formulate a pilpul on the subject and get back to you.

No, it is simple. They are clearly contradictory.

If you cannot see that then why should anyone listen to anything you claim given your mental capacity must be extremely low

Don't you know what pilpul means?

You seem to have invented the term and it describes you well.

Also I enjoy how you are doing double speaj now, saying that the two aren't contradictory

So you don't know what it means?

You have dodged answering a simple question for a long time now. Suspicious

And based off the definition you gave yes you do fit it.

Lol. That's anti Semitic.

Well that just shows you have lost this. Random accusations that you could only expect if someone was trying to troll

Victory accepted.

What is this holocaust everyone speaks of anyway?

I'm getting really sick of the labeling people Holocaust deniers at the drop of a hat. Questioning and criticizing mainstream beliefs about any Holocaust is in no way anti Semitic or anti whatever. I instantly know who's an idiot whenever I see any kind of reactionary shit like this

Keep on sliding.
