This guy goes beyond denial. He's a neo-Nazi White Supremacist
preaching hate. He's one of the "It never happened - it was all a
jewish conspiracy" nut cases. He needs to be behind bars - hopefully
for the rest of his life.

He needs to be behind bars for "Preaching Hate"? I can think of a few
others that do that *_for_a_living_*, yet we don't imprison them. How come
this guy is so special?
I took a look at a few of the articles on his web-site - The first thing I
noticed right off was that he doesn't deny the holocaust or that the
jewish people were brutally persecuted. It seems to me that he has a
problem accounting for the quoted 6-million figure. Apparently, he has
reason to believe that figure doesn't hold-up to "scientific" scrutiny.
Whatever - whether it was 6 million or only 1 million, it's still a bunch
of folks and I'd think it would qualify as a "holocaust" regardless.
In any event, I don't see how he's any different from the Louis Farrakhans
in the world, or the Michael Moores, or the Spike Lees, or the Al
Sharptons, or the anti-abortion activists, or the PETA activists, or the
Klan, or the Neo-Nazi's, etc. etc. etc...
What's the refrain that's immediately thrust out when free-speech is
encroached upon? If you don't like it -- don't read it/listen to it/tune
it in...
Free speech has limits. You cannot incite murder (like occurred before the
Rwanda genocide on radio), nor can you deny factual history as a step
removed from inciting violence on an ethnic group, but has as its aim
violence against the group. Zundel's website is not what sinks him and got
him deported and then charged in Germany, it is his continuing advocacy of
falsity which has as its aim further violence against Jews. His website
obviously does not document all that he has been up to. I have seen news
reports from the mid-80's to mid-90's with him saying things like ' the
Jews want our pity so they can dominate the world and receive special
treatment, we need to take them down a peg and show them who is boss '. If
you read what anti-semites said in 1930's Europe, you will understand what
the fuss is about. It is an insult to the memory of 5 of the 6 million dead
to say it doesn't matter that they died also. Period.
