Well, I don't hate the Jews, but I have a big problem with Israel and Zionism in general. I've been fascinated by the Holocaust for a long time, and I've read quite a bit of literature, mostly survivor accounts. Also watched interviews with survivors and all kinds of documentaries (not only American ones).

From all this reading, I don't have any doubt that gas chambers existed at some camps. Yes, the Germans did the mass killings outside of Germany, but so what?

Here are some very hard to refute arguments for the existence of gas chambers: 1. A lot of survivors talked about them, including some who were part of the commandos working at the crematoriums. 2. It is impossible for so many people to lie so well, to have such consistent lies. If they lied, at least one of them would eventually make a mistake and the truth would surface. 3. Rudolf Hoss admitted in his auto biography that over 1 million Jews were killed at Auschwitz during his command. Why would he admit that if it was a lie? 4. Pretty much everyone at Auschwitz knew about the crematoriums, all of them have seen and smelled the smoke. It would be impossible for all of them to lie about it. 5. The number of Jews in Europe had drastically decreased after the war.

Btw, it's no secret that the gas chambers at Auschwitz were recreated later on. They were destroyed by the Germans at the end of 1944, when they knew the Russians would get there. In fact, if I remember correctly, they stopped killing people (at a large scale) in September or so.
