I've Been Thinking:

The Holocaust deniers have met in Iran.
They have drawn their own conclusion and made them public.
But here's the thing - this was not about the Holocaust.

The purpose of the conference was not to deny the Holocaust.
Holocaust denial was just a tool.
The purpose of the conference was to deny Israel's right to exist.
Holocaust deniers believe that Israel's existence was created as a result of the Holocaust.

David Duke, the former National Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan said at the conference in Iran: "This conference has an incredible impact on Holocaust studies all over the world ... The Holocaust is the device used as the pillar of Zionist imperialism, Zionist aggression, Zionist terror and Zionist murder."

Their logic is simple, but their logic is flawed.
They believe that Israel was created because of the Holocaust and that without a Holocaust there is no justification for the Jewish State.
The truth is that Israel was created not because of the Holocaust.
The truth is that Israel was created as a result of the 1948 war with the Arabs.
