scholar giving perspective.
I don't know why this bothers you and others? Certainly, there is little or no objection here to tamping down Holocaust deniers and their material in sixteen countries, including Israel and Germany: are these countries wrong? Can you imagine Israelis tolerating statues (in Israel) that honor German generals? It's about time the US takes full responsibility for the hundreds of years of genocide against African-Americans. Millions and millions of African-Americans died because of slavery.
Why is the attitude of some, "Okay, why can't we just move on from this?" Try saying that to an Israeli sometime. Or an Armenian. Or... a Native-American.
