JERUSALEM — A new Iranian website that denies and mocks the Holocaust with cartoons showing Jews as hook-nosed worms burrowing holes through a history book provoked outrage in Israel on Thursday.
The site, holocartoons.com, features caricatures including a Jew with a hook nose and a black hat emblazoned with a Star of David tracing fake bodies on the ground at a concentration camp. The website design uses Nazi imagery, with the icon for flipping pages marked with a swastika.
Dedicated to all those who were killed under the pretext of the Holocaust

These preposterous claims anger anybody who has the slightest knowledge of world history; but it's actually laughable, if you think about it.
....Wallowing in ignorance. I can't even imagine anyone seriously believes this anymore than I can believe there are people who believe the world is flat. It's surely just something they say for attention, no matter how negative it might be.
They say these things because they derive pleasure from being deliberately antagonistic. Either that or they are immensely uneducated, and live under a rock. IMO.

Pretty easy: Holocaust Denying is obviously financially attractive - look at all the books you can buy on the topic. There's hardly a site about the "holohoax" that doesn't advocate reading and buying certain books - that's why I call it an industry. It's like chemtrails and the NWO stuff - most of the info on the net is tied to a "buy here" button.
Being an academic myself I can tell you that there isn't much money in pubishing scholarly work; there's no money in articles and scholarly bookd deals are mostly tilted to the publishers. There's not much money to be made by supporting the idea that the holocaust happened.
So my standard for the use of "industry" is quite simple: Any topic that seems to heavily promote the idea of buying specialized literature will be given the "Industry" name by me.
It's not a reversal of anything. It's just my observation.
Or else provide me with one example of a scholarly work that was sponsored by "zionists" .... It seems pretty clear to me where the money is to be made. As an academic I can guarantee you that the university is not the place to do so. So the financial incentive is clearly on the other side of the argument.
BTW - I don't think that the fact that Iran is one of the major locations where antisemitic propaganda is cooked up is contested by anyone. That doesn't mean that Iran is bad or Isreal is good or anything... just an observation: Many of the "jewish conspiracy" ideas originate in the Middle East, especially Iran. And obviously, in Iran and the middle east (as in the western world) there is money to be made with such talk.
