Gotta love this guy for posting this Jerusalem Post article on his own website:
And thus he repeated his denial mantra to the effect that Hitler had nothing to do with the genocide of the Jews and that the number of Holocaust victims was exaggerated - the very claims which led to his conviction last year in Austria and clearly constitute Holocaust denial.
To be on the safe side, Irving combined these revisionist notions with the assertion that "the Holocaust" had taken place, although he was clearly referring to his version of the events, which unlike those described by "conformist" historians, had not been distorted as a result of Jewish pressure.
So he admits that the historian Irving was convicted for just having these opinions about history.
When will people be imprisoned for saying that they believe the "conformist" view of the history of Russia is inaccurate? Or the history of America?
In the Irving case as well, the onus for last week's debacle lies squarely on the Austrians, who have again demonstrated their almost total inability to deal effectively with either Nazi war criminals or prominent Holocaust deniers.
One would have hoped for a far better result in the wake of the recent conference in Teheran and the widespread condemnations, but what is obvious to practically the entire civilized world will not necessarily be taken for granted, it seems, in Vienna.
hmmmmm..it appears to me that what bothers this Israel director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center is the Teheran conference didn't receive near the condemnation and probably more positive attention and acceptance than he's happy with.
