Was I wrong to wish someone's death after they denied the Holocaust?


I know I usually speak against such violent and angry language online, but in this instance I encountered an individual who described the Holocaust and the deaths of six million Jews as 'another lie'.

Admittedly, I probably should have confronted them another way, but the fact that people are still denying the Holocaust makes my blood boil.

I don't really wish anyone death, but I can't help but feel that anyone still perpetuating Holocaust denial deserves to be spoken to in the harshest way possible.

Am I wrong, or are there some instances where it is acceptable to speak to people as I did in this instance?

I appreciate that you and I are on the same side here twinA, but my feeling is that no race or ethnic group should have to justify its existence.

It shouldn't matter how many great doctors, scientists, novelists, filmmakers, philosophers, peacemakers, and thinkers Jews have contributed to society, because there is absolutely no justification for an attack on any individual simply for the ethnicity they were born into.

As far as I'm concerned, an unemployed Jew living in his mom's basement is worth no more or less than the world's most brilliant Jewish scientist.

I also am of the opinion, though some people may disagree here, that no race nor ethnicity nor gender nor sexuality is any superior to another. Supremacy, in all its forms, is evil and leads to resentment at best, genocide at worst.

I will continue to call out the perniciousness of all those moronic and hateful individuals who deny the Holocaust or think that anti-Semitism is a somehow 'acceptable' form of ethnic/racial bigotry, whilst also maintaining the value of ALL of us, irrespective of the identity group to which we belong.

He's arguing for Jewish superiority, and he's doing it in a passive aggressive way. Would he ever say "women are just jealous of men's success", or "blacks are just jealous of whites"? Obviously not and neither would you. How the heck do you even come up with the idea to gloat about wealth at the same time as trying to cast them as victims?

True, but the person I criticised, in the harshest possible sense, specifically referred to six million deaths, not twelve million deaths, which leads me to think that their Holocaust denial has a specifically anti-Semitic intent.

This discussion would not be complete without mentioning Summit Ice, the only outdoor apparel company to openly acknowledge the Holocaust.

Well that's a weird marketing approach

You go to their site to buy a coat and they make you sad

It was founded after Taiga published a glowing tribute to someone who is a noted Holocaust denier.

I see nothing wrong with wishing death upon Nazis.

What a convenient way to justify psychopathy. Someone disagrees with you? Just call them a Nazi. Then you get to kill them.

You got emotional over a factual matter. If I told you vegetarianism is unhealthful, and you told me to drop dead, it would probably not persuade me.

This person was denying the documented deaths of six million Jews. They are a bigot. Maybe they need strong words to wake them up.

It sickens me how anyone can still pretend that the Holocaust didn't happen.
