To "deny" "it" is on your terms. I "deny" nothing, I follow the evidence. Regarding the question, two reasons:

(1) There are hundreds of references in American newspapers to the deaths of millions of [redacted]. It starts, at least, in 1900 with the rabbi Stephen Wise. There's a "funny"/unfortunate article from 1919 called "The Crucification of the [Redacted] Must Stop!", written by Martin H. Glynn. In fact, articles such as this talking of this "atrocity" picked up towards the end of WWI. Millions starving, millions dead. I don't believe the first two hundred lies, so why should I believe the 201st one?

(2) Does it seem like anything has changed since WWII? Does it seem like any groups have profited from WWII? If someone goes through Hell and survives, they change. They become good, not destructive. We live in a period of destruction. How are the Palestinians doing since WWII?

Those were likely rough estimates based on the Jewish populations in the East that may be under threat. The time after ww1 would be especially covering considering the civil war in Russia and the East.

What is that meme that has fallen out of favor? "Cool story, bro!".
