"So far, the site has seen no postings by Holocaust deniers, Sawicki said. If they do show up, they will be removed quickly, he said, adding that engaging such people in dialogue is “a waste of time.”

CENSORSHIP! Did they learn that from the Nazi's?

I can understand why, since most people that deny the Holocaust do so not to engage in conversation or simply express their "freedom of speech", but rather to deliberately create controversy and troll the living daylights out of whoever is willing to put up with their comments.

i would prefer it if holocaust denial was illegal in many more countries, as is the law in Germany.

Is it possible to market Colonial Korea and Nanking like the Holocaust?

“We certainly view the internet as a key tool in disseminating accurate, credible information about the Holocaust to as wide an audience as possible,” Yad Vashem spokeswoman Estee Yaari said in an e-mail to the AP.

Accurate and credible? They should start by actually showing us the evidence instead of playing with people's emotions.

Kokorocloud,

Some do just want to create controversy, such as the proven-agent provocateur Hal Turner chanting "6 million more", but these are a minority. Most of the "deniers" are just skeptical of the "evidence" and are tired of hearing what they view as baseless war-time propaganda.

It launched a Polish-language channel on YouTube in 2008 and an English-language page two months ago. Some 22,000 people have viewed the video so far.

That number is vastly exaggerated.

Altria, there are programs for pumping videos. YT tries to stop people from pumping past 550 viewings I believe, but forget. However, there are programs out there that do it. Look up SMOSH on You TUbe or on Live Video and you will see some very unfunny people with millions of viewings. It is all fake.

Yes, and they also have their megaphone system, which they could have used to gather viewers.

Only lies need laws to protect it, the truth does not need laws.

Thanks, JT. We need at least one Holocaust-related story a week to ensure that the professional deniers will earn their keep.

Yes. It appears JT is trying to woo the Stormfront and National Alliance crowd.
