The most famous forms of Holocaust denial and revisionism tend to focus on Jews, casting doubt, for example, on how many were exterminated in the camps.

    You wouldn’t expect an article about MC Hammer, some one saying “its hammer time!” to mean home improvement. it’s a news sub, and the article is about politics, not wildlife conservation. you’re being obtuse.

      That could actually be a great The Onion theme.
      Inflamatory - but ambiguos - headline with the article jumping from theme to theme through homonyms and context changes
