On September 20, 2026, Hans-Hermann Hoppe gave a talk at the twentieth annual meeting of his Property and Freedom Society, held as it is every year at a resort hotel in Bodrum, Turkey. When the society posted the recording on October 25, a clip began circulating widely, mostly because of one passage[…]
Explaining why Europeans are wrong to compare Israel’s war in Gaza to the Holocaust, Hoppe told his audience:

To compare what happens to Gaza and then, the so-called Holocaust, as far as the Holocaust is concerned, if you deny the teeniest detail in the official narrative of the Holocaust in Germany, you will be jailed. Despite the fact that nobody I’ve ever met, even among those people who are called Holocaust deniers, has ever denied that cruel, evil, ugly things happened during that period. But if you study these things a little bit more closely—again I learned that all from Rothbard too—there are huge holes in the story. There are lots of lies mixed into certain things that are undoubtedly true. There were never forensic investigations done in these places

In other words, Hoppe objects to comparing Gaza to the Holocaust not because he thinks it overstates what is happening in Gaza but because he thinks it overstates the Holocaust
