How is it hate speech? Are there people who would start killing Jews if they discovered it didn&#x27;t really happen? Serious question, maybe Germany has people who are ready to commit violence but are held back by the thought that the holocaust probably happened? I can&#x27;t think of the chain of causation from saying &quot;It didn&#x27;t happen&quot; to someone killing someone else.<p>The closest I can find on Wikipedia&#x27;s definition of hate speech is &quot;...disparages ... a protected individual or group.&quot; Who is that group? Is it &quot;people who believe the holocaust happened&quot;? Surely belief in an arbitrary claim doesn&#x27;t count for defining a &quot;protected individual or group&quot;. Is the group Jews? How does it harm Jews?
