The Caveat of Holocaust Denial 🧵
In this final thread in the series on Holocaust denial this week, I want to focus on the perpetrators themselves.
Virtually no Nazi perpetrators on trial denied the systematic murder of Jews and many others, though most claimed they were “just following orders.”
Holocaust deniers often argue that these confessions were made under duress or that the accused were forced to admit to crimes that never happened. However, this argument runs into a simple problem. The perpetrators’ accounts corroborated one another, even when they were tried in different countries and on different continents.
Furthermore, the Nazis were meticulous record-keepers, documenting their crimes in ways that make denial impossible.
Here are some figures who confessed, along with their statements and the undeniable documentary evidence that confirms the horrors of the Holocaust. 🧵:
@Brycen2047@Patriots@NFL Everything Welker could do, Edelman could do better.
Not to mention that Edelman was a great special teams player(more than just a return guy) and handled covering Anquan Bolden as a slot corner.
Never saw Welker play D
"Obama mocked Romney for warning about Putin’s Russia: 'The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back.' It turns out we’re living in a world far closer to that of the Cold War 1980s than to the world Obama imagined we inhabited in 2012."

Remember that:
They were silent when Assad massacred half a million Syrians and Palestinians.
They were silent when the Houthis restored slavery in Yemen.
They were silent on Sudan's ongoing collapse and starvation.
No one in Columbia, Harvard, Stanford or any Ivy league held massive protests for the victims in Yemen, Syria and Sudan.
No one. None. 0. Nada.
But they are very vocal when it comes to Jews defending themselves.
Hence, it was never about Palestine.
It should go back all the way to Socrates complaining about the written word destroying kids' memories. (h/t Sam Matey: https://t.co/bsKchsJe9M)

@GScottShand If you're already a citizen, none. However, if you apply for naturalization (which requires you to swear an oath of allegiance), maybe your past statements expressing hatred for this country should come up in your interview?
@NEPatsjunkie @realshawnbrooks Don’t leave out Rourke. After all, if a college record is important for Zappe, an all time CFL record has to count for Rourke.
@ScottyWho69@KyleGunzinger With any other HC in the NFL Brady wouldn’t have won as many SBs. Why? Because in 2001 as soon as Bledsoe was cleared to play he’d have gone back to the bench.
@LoveSTEMtheGap@podoffame@AKIFFEL That would be an insult to someone like Mark Belanger. But the overall trend in all sports these days is to minimize the importance of defense.
