troll, thanks for the explanation. I don't think you were suggesting in your post that I believe the Holocaust didn't happen. But to someone else who reads your post it could look like you were suggesting that. I have no doubts that the holocaust did happen and that it was just as horrific as people say it was.

But as McGrath pointed out, that denial thing goes both ways. I see the US government, the Israeli government, and the US media doing the same thing every single day. Take for instance that myth about Arafat walking away from the best offer he could possibly get at Camp David, or the idea that Israel didn't renege on the agreement it made in the Oslo accord

That's one of the reasons it's so difficult to know who to believe these days. We are being lied to every single day by just about everybody. All we can do is try to sift through the bullshit and try to work it out as we go along.

And I second what McGrath said about the internet. After I posted that piece by Schoenman, I was able to get input from others here about the guy's background so I could make a more informed dicision about whether or not I want to believe what he's saying. So I'm one of the people who think the internet can be a more effective way of getting good information as opposed to media spin.
