"No, the problem is that Holocaust deniers make their arguments for one simple purpose - they want to finish what was started and wipe Jews off the planet."

This is far from true. "Holocaust deniers" very often turn out to be "The holocaust was more than just killing Jews, so stop making it just about them. A lot of the figures about those killed are inflated. The Holocaust needs to be stop being used a trump card for getting everything from Hate Speech Laws codified to a free pass for Israel to wall in the Palestinians and bomb densely populated areas."

Now I tacitly accept the figures for those killed in the Holocaust (6 million Jews, 5 million gypsies, gays and others) because it isn't an important issue for me.

But trying to call holocaust deniers closeted genocidal maniacs is pretty absurd.

With all due respect that is quite delusional. (I couldn't figure out a more respectful way to say that, sorry)

President of Iran is my case in point. Need I say more?

Sorry, what's delusional? The abuse of the Holocaust to negotiate preferential treatment for Jews is real. My case in point is this:

"In an historic breakthrough, the Claims Conference has negotiated one-time payments from Germany for certain Jewish victims of the Nazi siege of Leningrad."
