A recent “Los Angeles Times” editorial headline was dangerously understated. It read: “Holocaust denial can be dangerous.” How about the “Holocaust denial IS dangerous”?

Paulo Casaca, a member of the European Parliament, recognizes the severity of Holocaust denial. As the conference in Tehran closed, he wrote to the Parliament’s secretary-general: “It was with much disgust that I received reports on the Neo-Nazi Summit held in Tehran ...” He continued, “As you are aware, the Iranian regime hosted individuals and organizations from 60 countries with the sole purpose of endorsing and reawakening Nazism, denying the Holocaust and attacking Israel. This outrageous action can not be ignored by the European Union and deserves the most vehement of the protests.”

That’s more like it.
