In the West, it is a crime to deny one Holocaust and dangerous to name another The difference between Holocaust denial and  Gaza Genocide  denial is that Holocaust denial is illegal or a  criminal offence  in many countries, and is, for the most part, the preserve of marginalised kooks and conspiracy theorists. No self-respecting journalist considers Holocaust denial a legitimate point of view, and no serious media organisation argues that impartiality requires it to provide Holocaust denial with a platform in any serious discussion about  Germany 's extermination of Europe's Jews during World War Two - let alone equal time, or beginning and ending every such discussion with "Germany said". Gaza  Genocide denial , by contrast, is a well-organised and orchestrated global  campaign  sponsored, funded, and avidly promoted - without any hindrance whatsoever - by the regime perpetrating the genocide. In many states, Gaza Genocide denial counts among its champions elected and other senior  officials , influential  lobbies  and powerful organisations. Its messages are amplified by an international network of conspiracy theorists, fanatic ideologues and hired hands. Serious media organisations not only consider it a journalistic requirement to give Gaza Genocide denial a platform and equal time, but they also routinely communicate  Israel 's talking points to their audiences. The BBC's compulsive resort to " Israel says " is a  case in point . Read more:   In the West, it is a crime to deny one Holocaust and dangerous to name another
