It wasn't just the goblins — is J.K. Rowling doing Holocaust denial now?

The most famous forms of Holocaust denial and revisionism tend to focus on Jews, casting doubt, for example, on how many were exterminated in the camps. But denying the impact the Nazis had on the other groups they targeted, including queer and trans people, disabled people and Romani people, is still Holocaust denial. Maybe someone should tell J.K. Rowling.

The amount of people defending her statements in this thread is absolutely disgusting. I wonder why she feels so emboldened as to say such horrific things in public?

Because people can't tell the difference between the Israeli government and a random jewish person in North America that has nothing to do with anything

I think it's great. My block-list is filling out nicely. Hope the trolls keep exposing themselves in such brazen careless fashion :)

When they’re financially or socially insulated from the consequences of their actions or words it’s pretty awful what people reveal about themselves.
