My parents often wondered why I would grow so indignant at the falsification and exploitation of the Nazi genocide. The most obvious answer is that it has been used to justify criminal policies of the Israeli state and US support for these policies.

The Holocaust industry has always been bankrupt. What remains is to openly declare it so. The time is long past to put it out of business.

Public opinion in the United States has shifted significantly, not just outside but also within the Jewish community.
