I stand by the opinion that its (extremely unsubtle) war propaganda, of the type that is used to justify genocide. Of - in fact - the very same sort that was used in the lead up to WW2. All too familiar, which is a VERY odd situation.
Screeching "holocaust deniers!!!" is just some Godwin lark that I'm not really inclined to pay any attention to at all. It is literally the prototypical strawman.
