Holocaust denial in the USA


Throughout the history of the world, countless honorable men and women have questioned, warned, and given their opinions on the Jewish religion, and its people. Some with their lives long before Hitler, and the countless others.
Worldwide the Jewish/Zionists, and other groups criminalize and sneer at any question, or even documented fact that is shown to them.  Their answer other then bullying and destroying the lives of the person that questions is being violent and ridiculing. Destroying lives and shouting Racist Pig, anti-Semite, then taking them on the grand tour of the POW camps .  Why isn’t there coverage of the countless tragedies of the Irish, English, the citizens of Dresden, 50 million deaths at the hands of Stalin, ‘Death camps’ in Japan, etc?  Why must we always hear of the tragedy “suffered” by the Jews and Africans that always want more, more and even more, neither group has a ‘monopoly on sorrow’   shera~
Whereas African-Americans and Jewish-Americans have a long and proud tradition of working together to eliminate all forms of racism, xenophobia, and anti-Semitism, and to build communities of toleration, acceptance, mutual respect and understanding, and appreciation for diversity of backgrounds and life experiences;  Whereas this tradition of joint activism includes the founding of the (1909) National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the fight against Nazism, the expansion of civil rights, and the struggle against poverty;
Holocaust denial is not criminalized in the United States because of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. It is also not an offence in the United Kingdom, although laws against libel or inciting racial hatred may apply.
Holocaust Denial Laws and Other Legislation Criminalizing Promotion of Nazism
In the United States, the First Amendment protects the freedoms of speech, press and association; such guarantees prohibit suppression of the Nazi message. As a result, neo-Nazi parties are completely legal (just like during the Cold War years, the Communist Party of the United States was allowed to exist) and their antisemitic and racist messages are protected by the Constitution. The only limitation on such speech, according to the Supreme Court, are calls for immediate violence.Prof. Michael J.

USA: Holocaust Payments & Federal Benefits
All Holocaust compensation and restitution payments are protected by 1994 federal legislation that excludes them from calculations relating to eligibility for federal benefits. The legislation (h.r. 1873 or public law 103-286) stated that payments made to individuals because of their status as victims of Nazi persecution are to be excluded from income and resources in determining both eligibility for and the amount of benefits or services to be provided under any Federal or federally assisted program which provides benefits or services based on need such as, but not limited to, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, food stamps and Federally subsidized Housing programs.To view or print the letter from the Social Security Administration, click here.
The New York State Medicaid program made an important ruling reversing an earlier fair hearing decision which would have denied an elderly Holocaust survivor‘s application for Medicaid benefits to pay for his nursing home care. Read the full press release [PDF format]
