Jews Question the Holocaust Narrative-Paul Craig Roberts
Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2024 10:54 am
Was the Holocaust a marketing device in service to the Zionist agenda? Only Jews can investigate this question as gentiles are too intimidated and brainwashed to investigate. In European countries it is dangerous to investigate Holocaust claims, because anything less than a regurgitation of the official narrative brings a prison sentence. A person might think that if the official story is true, Zionists would want it investigated. It would be a great victory for Zionists if the Holocaust were investigated by objective gentile scholars and found to be true. Instead, there is an Iron Curtain of censorship preventing any investigation of the claims.
Consequently, the only people who can investigate the Holocaust are Jews. Norman Finkelstein calls the Holocaust an “industry.” Ron Unz, quotes many Jewish dissenters from the story and himself comes to remarkable conclusions.
Why is the question important? Every country has its national myths, so why shouldn’t Zionist Israel?
The problem with national myths, or some of them, is that false portrayals of history can coerce people into living a false reality. Consider, for example, “American Exceptionalism,” a creation of American liberal interventionists. This concept was transformed by neoconservatives into Washington’s hegemony over American citizens and the world. It has become a dangerous ideology promising nuclear conflict with Russia and China.
The Holocaust has a similar implication. If the Holocaust justifies any and all Israeli actions, normal constraints on the outbreak of war are set aside. The consequences, as we see in Gaza, can be horrific.
Countries need a good opinion of themselves even if they don’t deserve it. But the arrogance and hubris associated with self-justification need to be restrained by a realistic view. The problems between people and countries come from one or both parties having unrealistic views of their responsibility for the conflict. In a world in which weapons have the capability of ending all life, we must give priority to realism.
And we have so little of it. The official narrative of the so-called “American civil war” is false. The official narrative of WW I is false. The official narrative of WW II is false. The official narratives of President John F. Kennedy’s assignation and that of his brother are false. The official narrative of the Waco massacre is false. The official narrative of 9/11 is false. The official narrative of the “Covid pandemic” is false. And so on. Every country has its own false narratives.
The accumulation of false narratives creates a false understanding, the consequence being that people end up living in a historically false reality. If reality cannot be perceived, its demands cannot be understood and faced. This is where we stand today.
With false portrayals of reality all around us, it is possible that the Holocaust is just another one. But only Jews can look into the question as Ron Unz does here https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravd ... aust-hoax/ and here https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravd ... and-nazis/ .
