It is an incredible dishonoring of the dead to have their deaths shielding these sorts of EVIL actions.
*nods* I particularly distastesful experience of this was in October 2007 when I went to see a speech by Dr. Ghada Karmi on the one state solution.
On the tram on the way back home there was a small group of young pro-Israelis discussing the talk, where one rather enthusiastically rejected Dr. Karmi's suggestion to read the works of Jewish scholar Norman Finkelstein on the grounds that he is a "holocaust denier".
Finkelstein's parents were both in the Warsaw ghetto. His mother was shipped to Majdanek concentration camp, his father to Auschwitz.

I really don't think he's a denier.
