The Danger of Refuting Holocaust Denial

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Sep 25 2009, 9:13 AM ET Comment

Goldblog reader Lila M. writes:
Just watched Bibi's UN speech and was absolutely shocked.  An Israeli Prime Minister, standing on the floor of the UN, holding up documents to prove the Holocaust happened??!! What, Ahmadenijad called him out and he came to play?  What'll be next - a Foreign Ministry powerpoint presentation debunking Mein Kampf?  Or maybe a close up of Netanyahu's head to finally show the world, once and for all, that we don't actually have horns?

As an Israeli I fully expect our politicians to cheapen the memory of the Holocaust in all sorts of creative and sundry ways -  but this??
