Liberalism And Genocide Denial

Leftists and progressive liberals frequently deny the occurrence of genocide.

For example, leftist atheist Cenk Uygur of the far-left The Young Turks has repeatedly been embroiled in controversy over his claims that the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire never occurred.^[1] Barack Hussein Obama has also refused to recognize or acknowledge the Armenian Genocide.^[2]

Liberals have frequently denied the severity or occurrence of the Holodomor, the Soviet persecution and mass murder of millions of Ukrainians headed by communist dictator Joseph Stalin, such as when a journalist for the left-wing New York Times, Walter Duranty, visited Ukraine and claimed that no genocide had occurred.^[3][4]

Many leftists have become infamous for making insensitive, ignorant, apathetic, or outright denialistic comments and statements regarding the Jewish Holocaust.^[5][6] The Holocaust is denied by the leftist dictatorships of Venezuela and Iran.^[7] The left-wing Palestinian Authority has published videos promoting Holocaust denial.^[8] Democrat Congresswomen and Squad members Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib shared a cartoon by liberal Holocaust denier Carlos Latuff, who was the runner-up in Iran's Holocaust cartoon contest in 2006.^[9][10]
