In a since-deleted Substack post, a member of Elon Musk's team praised an essay by Ron Unz—who has called the Holocaust potentially a "hoax" and said Trayvon Martin was "a violent young thug."
In my country, Hungary, it was illegal and people went to prison over it. However, Fidesz went with “zero tolerance for antisemitism”, so they hired a very right-leaning Jew to say “antisemitism is over”, then no longer enforce the law in the name of “fairness and equality”, because “other genocides are also being denied”.
To be fair, those laws could likely also be leveraged to put pro-palestinian groups in jail as “antisemities”. The ADL in America already smears people as such. There should just be restrictions on denying recognized genocides, because those people are typically the fascists who want another one.

It is not discrimination if we deny all holocausts equally.
