    when did I become a holocaust denied? if anything I am trying to highlight the multitude of other holocausts perpetrated throughout history.

    i'm not saying that the jews didn't suffer, just that others too have suffered injustice, many worse and with more permanent lasting damage to the peoples involved

    Trying to minimise the seriousness of the Holocaust is a common tactic employed by those who try to deny what happened.

    This is a thread about some pretty vile anti-semetic messages being daubed on a building in Dublin - expressing sentiments similar to those used to justify the Holocaust.

    Bringing the genocides of other peoples and races into the mix is nothing more than whataboutery and an attempt to distract from the actual issue being discussed in this thread.

    Nobody on this thread has claimed that the Jewish Holocaust was any more or less serious or devastating than other genocides throughout history - but you felt the need to try and drag things off topic anyway.
    Maybe unintentional, but if you copy the tactics of Holocaust deniers then don't be surprised if people assume you are one.

    Give it a rest and stop dragging the thread off-topic. He explained himself, so leave it at that.

    It's been painted over now but I am surprised that the news articles covering it printed the slogans in full.
    It's not known whether whoever did it targeted a bank building specifically.

    It is a derelict building which a lot of people would pass by so maybe that's the only reason it was targeted
    Judging by the slogans perhaps it was specifically chosen.

    Either way though only a relatively small number of people would have seen the graffiti by publishing the full slogans in national newspapers haven't they spread the message far wider that the culprit?

    ...and that's the thread plunging towards a middle-East style quagmire, detracting from the main issue at hand; morons who think that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is distributed at all barmitzvahs.

    Whataboutery truly is the nuclear option for organised thread spoiling.

    Strange that you should use the word nuclear, given the discussion
