then the beast, the United States, has the largest jewish population in the world, more then 6 mil, you don't think they wouldn't influence some diplomatic ties there, one can say well they aren't certainly going after countries in the arab league for their holocaust denial as vigilantly, maybe cause it's hard to change a whole region, but a single country, a majority christian country, an ally can be pressured quite immensely



now most likely none of that will happen, and some of those euro countries would just as likely repeal many of the holocaust denial laws themselves to appease growing muslim extremism
I really don't think that it got to that extent yet. And, also, the ties between Israel and Britain aren't as close as those that the United States have with them. It depends how you see things. Personally any ideology that falls into the right or left of the political spectrum is one that is easily changed, if economical interests require to do so. Take the growing ties between the States and China: if they meant denying the existence of the Holocaust to enforce such fruitful relationship, i'm more than certain that it would be done, regardless of the Jewish population in America. Really, economics dictate political strategy and therefore influence the cultural climate of nations, not vice versa.
