Holocaust denial in Canada

[BlueEyesInLevis]

Kratner, pp man, Hobbit, woody (Oh yes & Byron too)....read up.


A Canadian federal court has ruled that Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel is a threat to national security and may be deported to his native Germany.

In his ruling, Canadian Justice Pierre Blais labeled Zundel "a racist" whose "activities are not only a threat to Canada's national security, but also a threat to the international community of nations." Zundel had been living in Toronto since 2003, after he was deported from the U.S. on immigration violations.

A Holocaust denier and neo-Nazi ideologue for more than two decades, Zundel has also been the inspiration for and key content provider of the Zundelsite, since 1995 a leading online repository of Holocaust-denial propaganda. His activities led to numerous trials in Canada, to which he had emigrated in the late 1950s, and make him subject to probable arrest in Germany, his country of birth.

SOrry, but he was deported on Monday, after LENGTHY court battles and being imprisoned.

Funny thing, they deport him to Germany and guess what? They put him right in jail, since Holocaust denial is crime there.

Good riddance

Gosh, are there still holocaust deniers out there? That is soo 90's.

 

[GirlMidnite]

I know people who have had family erased by the holocaust, my own family was touched by it.

Denying it takes a special type of psuedo-academic stupidity.

It's like trying to hide an elephant under a knapkin.

I got news for you ...its a GROWING phemonenon.

That's because all the Holocaust survivors are dying and can no longer preserve the memories of those who did not survive.

It is easy for a younger generation of neo-Nazis to prey on their silence.

I got news for you, its NOT just the neo-nazis out there. Just ask Hobbit, Krastner, Woody, pp man...

I include anyone who denies the holocaust under the umbrella of neo-nazi.

It is one thing to say that the Holocaust has spawned an industry, or is used in a tool for politics. It is another thing to claim that it did not happen.

Yeah... I don't really know what to say. Seems a little too "thought-crime" for my tastes, though I have no sympathy for the man himself.

FINALLY.... Gawd! Maybe his b/f in jail will be a REALLY large circumsized German who's allergic to lube!

On the one hand, that is a point- does it violate freedom of speech?

Over here in the UK, people can be arrested for making inflammatory remarks urging violence or actions against a particular community.

So much for freedom of expression in Canada.

We already know about the lack of it in Germany, which is a long tradition for them.

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself."

(1) I read it before you edited.

(2) If you want my attention, you're more likely to get it by making a new post, rather than by adding comments to posts I've already read.

Im sorry I forgot to include you in the anti-semite scum list...it wont happen again.

Your tax money has been spent putting him on trial for thoughtcrime.

Had he been in the US, no taxpayer money would have been spent on him.

Once again you take the words from my mouth!


(not to mention the breath from my lungs)

Why? His defence is none of my concern. Extremists of all colours and "isms" can raise their own defence funds...

Sorry, I'm tapped out right now. I've already got hundreds of thousands invested in the coming neo-fascist revolution here in the US. Why don't you send him some money, and after the revolution I'll see to it you're not hanged.

I don't think someone like you who has obvious reading comprehension and discussion abilities should be in charge of any list.

Byron is raising a simple point, and while I don't agree with him in this particular instance, I certainly don't think his point of view makes him even remotely anti-semetic.

oops... i'm out of phase - mea culpa. YOU are the Fascist, He is the Commie. Silly me.
