As I recall it, the original item read:

Question: "What is the difference between 6 million and 300,000?"

Answer: "5,700,000."


That was as good an answer as any. For Nizkor to haul in additional rhetoric or even claim an "audio tape" - there were few audio tapes in those years, mostly shellac records! - IS belaboring the obvious.

It's very simple, really: It PAYS to keep the numbers high. Repeat: It has to do with compensation for politically convenient "victimhood" - with numbers in the millions, there is more to collect.

That there was rhetoric, sometimes of a threatening nature, against the Jews during the war is true. So what of it?

How about Churchill's wartime rhetoric against the Germans? How about all the "Kill the Hun" hate calls American media put out by the reams? How about Ilya Ehrenburg's bloodthirsty, vicious agitation to "maim, rape, rob and kill the Nazi beast" emanating out of Russia?

Do the Israelis not threaten their enemies with mayhem and murder to this day? Closer to home, on our peacetime continent, that kind of rhetoric exists today against those individuals who are described as "Nazis."

International Jewry were seen as prime causes of World War II, and many Jews were suspected of sabotaging and undermining the effort of war. There was a lot of rhetoric, since most but not all Jews were believed to be potential security threats engaged in underground guerrilla war efforts.

The Zundelsite receives death threats from various Holocaust Promotion Lobby sources practically every week. Some of these threats, such as the parcel bomb and arson against me, Ernst Zundel, are actually realized - as I found out to my sorrow.


........

Are death threats evidence of genocide or of impending genocide? Nonsense!
