Why is AL-Nekba denial so acceptable but Holocuast denial is not?

First the fact is that both rely off a racist narrative which claims an entire people as an ethnic group is lying!

Second both rely off made-up and fabricated evidence and only slight real evidence of fraud which always occurs after before wars!

Third they basically are conspiracy theories (not that I am not a believer in such things) which are created for a group to retain political acceptability.

So why is one acceptable and the other not... It seems that because Nazism lost a war and Zionism won Zionism is allowed to write it's own history... Well every nut is allowed to slander Germans like me with false claims and discredit the real horrors of the holocaust as Norman Finkelstein observed!

There was exaggerations in both stories but denial is unacceptable

Who says the Nekba was made up? Everyone knows that Arabs consider the establishment of the state a catastraphy... The fact that you are comparing the fleeging and/or forcing out of people from their home to the systematic murder of a race like cattle (in the holocast) shows that you are the one in denial. Like I said a number of times the Nakba can be compared to the throwing out/fleeing of Jews from Arab countries after the founding of the state of Israel..... The Jewish Nakba is truly the one in denial...

Jeff, The Nakba is not establishment of the state of Israel.

Nakba is destruction of social structure, villages and 700,000 Arab refugees from Palestine when there was no entity to reject/accept/change the UN proposal that had no legal strength to be forced.

You just demonstrated AL-Nekba denial

I am not sure how what I said is denial... how is "fleeging and/or forcing out of people from their home" denial. I totally think this was a catastrophy for the Arabs of Palestine, while the Jews of Palestine got a state they got suffering. I think the issue of who is responsible is something else. The was of May 15th, 1948, the day commemortaing Nekba was the day the Arab countries invaded Israel, instead of helping the Arabs make a state they were the instigators of war that led to Nakba.

Neri.

"Naqba" translates roughly as catastrophe and the first known mention of it is in 1988. It is celebrated on May 15 which is the day that the State of Israel was declared and the entry of Arab armies to destroy that State.

How does this square with "social structure" as more than 1.2 million Arabs still live in Israel and even have Knesset representation.
