Rivlin criticizes Le Pen for denying French role in Holocaust | World Israel News: "Israel’s president contended that such arguments and statements amount to a form of contemporary denial of the Holocaust.
“The denial of responsibility of the crimes committed in the days of the Second World War is Holocaust denial of a new, more destructive and dangerous kind from that we have known until now,” Rivlin argued.
“This is a denial that seeks to annul the political and moral responsibility that must stand at the heart of memory of the Holocaust for generations to come,” he added. “We must wage a war against the current and dangerous wave of Holocaust denial.”
Rivlin claimed that while not explicitly denying the Holocaust, such statements from European politicians are essentially blurring the lines between victim and perpetrator. "
