DemoCast exclusive video: Holocaust-expert Goldhagen deconstructs genocide for Tolerance audience; Are Islamists implementing Nazi techniques in quest against Israel & Zionists?

Political-scientist Daniel Goldhagen discusses how humans people are moved to commit genocide against others. He discusses his current book, "Worse than War," and screens a preview from the documentary he produced with Mike DeWitt - which aired on PBS in April, 2010 during National Holocaust Remembrance Week. You can watch "Worse than War" online here.

In this exclusive interview the genocide-studies expert, Prof. Goldhagen (author of "Worse than War") is asked whether Arab, Iranian, & Muslim societies' demonizing Israel is a warning sign of for a potential genocide against Zionists?

Prof. Goldhagen, the author of the renowned "Hitler's Willing Executioners" appeared on the occasion of the 71st anniversary of the notorious Kristallnacht (Night of Breaking Glass - considered the inauguration of Germany's government-sanctioned violence against Jews and Jewish symbols). The ceremony was organized and held at the Simon Wiesenthal Center's  Museum of Tolerance.

Exempting Hate Speech

Newt Gingrich writes "Blocking the Speech that Calls for Our Death" in Human Events:
The fact is not all speech is permitted under the Constitution. The 1st Amendment does not protect lewd and libelous speech, and it should not - and cannot in 2006 - be used as a shield for murderers.

The above augments the points brought out by Andrew C. McCarthy in Commentary Magazine last March in
"Free Speech for Terrorists?"

"The nexus in militant Islam between advocacy and actual savagery is no longer contestable. It has been the subject of too much informed analysis and, more importantly, is an empirically demonstrated fact. ...

With an enemy committed to terrorism, the advocacy of terrorism—the threats, the words—are not mere dogma, or even calls to “action.” They are themselves weapons—weapons of incitement and intimidation, often as effective in achieving their ends as would be firearms and explosives brandished openly."
