“The first victims of the holocaust”. Where did she say the holocaust did not happen?
They were, in fact, the first victims of the Holocaust. Which she denied. That's what's known as Holocaust denial.

Believe it or not, admitting that the Nazis killed Jews but saying they only killed one million instead of six? Also Holocaust denial, not criticism.
By the way, if you had not been ridiculously lazy and had read the article which put those quotes in context, you will see that she still denied it after many people educated her on the subject.
Do you deny it?
I do not deny the holocaust. I am of Jewish descent. Surely you can see that saying someone is the first victim is not even close to the same as saying some is not a victim. Are you purposely being obtuse?
Yes, and saying the Nazis only killed one million Jews is not the same as saying the Nazis didn't kill any Jews.
And yet both are Holocaust denial. You being of "Jewish descent" doesn't change that denying parts of the Holocaust happened is Holocaust denial. You can be a rabbi, but if you say no Roma people were killed in the Holocaust, you're a Holocaust denier. "I'm Jewish" is not a shield.
She was shown she was wrong and she doubled down on it. And now you're supporting her because you refuse to look at the context which is also a form of Holocaust denial.
That is not hate speech and I do not support JK Rowling. I do support freedom of speech. Like I predicted, this law would be used to silence political opponents. Like you are in support of here.
Holocaust denial is considered hate speech based on the parameters I gave you.
She is not being silenced. She posted multiple tweets about this issue.
That is not holocaust denial. She did not deny the holocaust happened or that they were not victims. You are being purposely obtuse.
Yet again, saying only one million Jews died in the Holocaust instead of six million is Holocaust denial.
Why do you not know this? Please educate yourself on Holocaust denial, especially since you claime to be "of Jewish descent," whatever that means. I'm just Jewish.

You are comparing it to something that it is not. She is not saying that 1 million people died in the holocaust. Are you really denying that people can be of Jewish descent? Stop being a bigot
I didn't deny people can be anything, although I have no idea what "of Jewish descent" is supposed to mean. Does it mean you had many ancestors who died in the Holocaust or does it mean you had a Jewish great-grandmother from Schenectady, NY?
And I know what part of the Holocaust she's denying. The part that involves transgender people. You also appear to be denying it and hiding behind your "of Jewish descent" claim.
You’re now resorting to personal attacks. Is this all you do on this website? Do you have any friends in real life?
It's strange to complain about someone resorting to personal attacks and then making a personal attack in the same post.
I'd explain to you about why I'm here right now, but I doubt you'd read it since you wouldn't read a link I posted. And you'd just say it wasn't true if I did.
But feel free to look me up in Casual Conversations and see the hell I've been going through since January of 2023 if you like. Maybe it will make you laugh.
I wish you the best on your health issues. I knew someone who had very similar issues and after a few years it went away luckily.
I hope you can understand that some people are not left wing. That doesn’t make them bad people.
Do you wish me the best? Because you sure didn't one post ago.
What the fuck does this have to do with a single thing I have said in this entire conversation?
Keep begging your mom for more money instead of getting a job.
I knew you didn't actually wish me the best.
Why lie about it?
Just admit you couldn't give less of a fuck if I died right now.
Incidentally, I have never begged my mother for money in my life. I'm sorry if you don't have parents nice enough to offer to pay for things when you're having a very difficult time.
