7. Forget the holocaust deniers; USA is becoming AntiSemitic
Read the link inside   (01.25.07)
Forget the holocaust deniers; look at USA becoming the Europe of 1930's: (READ THE COMMENTS AS WELL) http://www.tnr.com/blog/theplank?pid=74026 You ain't gonna believe this. They're having a hard time with the war in Iraq and we are the scapegoat. Apparently we've sent them there and (according to a highly decorated US general and former Presidential Candidate, and according to the journalist as well) if USA was to attack Iran's facilities it won't be because Iran is aiming at producing some 200 nuclear bombs, when all it takes to wipe Israel out is one and Iran is very clear on who it considers as targets other than Israel. It won't be because of the fact that an Iranian nuclear bomb will result in a Saudi and an Egyptian and countless Middle Eastern bombs which raise the odds of dirty bombs in the hands of terror organizations to 100% or maybe to 90% if you have to bet on the exact time. No. It won't be any consideration other than "New York Jewish Money" that has pressured them to do that. I never thought I'd say that. I'd never thought I'd thing that but Americans have caught the European disease of scapegoating us and believing in outrageous nothing to do with facts theories that would explain their deepest hard to accept wounds. They talk about some Jewish bond with neocons that would explain their pains over Iraq. I have numerous Jewish friends and family in the US and I don't know even one who voted Republican. They reference each other to Carter's book in the same sentence with statements about the Jewish money's control over American Policy, and I can't escape the terrible irony of it, since Carter's book is THE example of how far Saudi Money can reach to even make a former fucking president of the USA lie through his teeth and invent "facts" in a way that how ever he escapes the extent of his shameful conducting, if civilization should survive the next 50 years the history books will not blind that extant of his disgraceful shift betrayal of any standard of decency or accuracy or honor or ethics from the days of his campaign to grant legitimacy to BCCI and disguise as working for the poor when being in a partnership to enrich them selves with an organization that stole from them, empowered the tyrants that murdered and exploited them and held them back to effectively these very days. On to today when other than making Apartheid look as if blacks in south Africa have murdered and sworn to annihilate the whites by comparing them to Palestinians, has absolutely betrayed the Palestinian cause in holding them back from realizing their mistakes in such a crucial time as today. I can't believe it. I think the USA of today is nothing like what we have known before. I'm glad my grandmother can't see this.
8. One more neo-nazi ranting
(01.25.07)
there is no difference between Irving, Ahmadinejad, Abbas, Haniyeh, Nasrallah, Tutu, or Carter: All wish to place the ills of the world at the feet of the Jews and begin their rantings with Shoah denials. There always was, and will always be, an audience to which they can address their beliefs. That is why we will remain strong and fight. this genertion will not walk calmly into the 'imaginary' gas chambers that the above listed would like us to.
9. I DENY THE EXISTENCE OF IRVING
Bleiberg ,   LA, USA   (01.25.07)
Im just so sorry...its just there is no proof that I am satisfied with. David Irving is but a myth lol.
10. irving
Steven Rosenfeld ,   L.A. USA   (01.25.07)
The fact that Irving once had a mother who gave birth to him is the best case I can think of for legalized abortion.
11. What's the problem, David?
Geordie ,   Israel   (01.25.07)
Mummy gave you a Jewish name but she didn't cuddle you, whereas your Jewish neighbours did cuddle their kids?
12. no worse than Dr. ABU MAZEN
Moshe ,   Beit Shemesh   (01.25.07)
who has a PhD in holocaust denial. but he is the left's baby (remember when Arafat was the left's "moderate" baby? ssshhhh - not talk about this)
13. Two peas in a pod
Patricia Dougherty ,   Waipahu, Hawaii, USA   (01.25.07)
I think when this Irving guy visited Ahmadrinejad that maybe they had a Vulcan mind meld (vis Star Trek)since they both deny the obvious.
14. Why does anybody give the slightist bit
jerome ,   basalt, co   (01.25.07)

15. #4
Vanessa ,   Tel Aviv   (01.25.07)
you are absolutely right I don't know why we need his opinion not every nut case shout something we have to stand up and get all worried about his opinion...BS There will be always some fanatics who don't agree on anything no matter what is the issue. which remind me A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. -Sir Winston Churchill david make up your mind, get over it and move on, stop flip flopping. "Yes, there were gas chambers. Millions of Jews died. There is no question. I don't know the figures. I'm not an expert on the Holocaust." -David Irving if you are not an expert, just stop pretending to be one...
16. Send him to Iran. If the EU had any credibility they
freedom ,   canada   (01.25.07)
would deny him all residency in the EU region.

Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (01.25.07)
I'm a American and have never held Israel or the Jewish people in anything but the highest esteem. I resent the fact that people like you find one ignorant opinion posted somewhere by anybody, and you just use that to tar brush the entirety of the rest of a nation. Enough! One persons opinion is just that, and for you to present it as anything else shows you as worse than the intolerant people you claim to be offended by. Develop a little self awareness and ask your self how would you feel if I claimed that Israel doesn't deserve American support because of your opinion posted here represents the view of most Israelis. America is the BEST friend Israel has and don't you forget it! Grow up and value the good friends you have and ignore the bums in life that deserve no consideration on your part.
18. To Joe, number 17 - an apology
allan ,   ramat ilan, israel   (01.25.07)
Joe, please ignore the post as we do know that America is the best friend Israel could ever have right now. You have helped us countless times and on many levels. We owe America for its help as without it, we wouldnt be here. That simple.! So thanks and ignore the ignorance of the other post. Allan - In Israel
19. Why do we care what this guy says again?
Sasha ,   Canada   (01.25.07)
Why does anyone really care what this guy says? It's not like any reasonable person examining the evidence could possibly think that the Holocaust didn't happen. So what if some nutjob doesn't believe in it. Let the guy publically state that he is in fact, a moron.
20. irvings opinions
tommy ,   belfast UK   (01.25.07)
What surprises me is that ANY media would even consider reporting this drivel. When I was younger there were nutters about but if you asked any of the media to run a story of their opinions your sanity would have been in question. When he passed his exams the education system failed. It makes me sick to think that the poor mans delusions are so worthy of print. and baksheesh springs to mind
21. To Allan and others
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (01.25.07)
Thanks for your post. If there is one thing I'd like to see people try to do a little more often is, try to understand that one fool does not constitute a general trend. I understand that Israel and the Jewish people have a uniquely tragic history and as such, emotional baggage is to be expected, but whoever you may be, see the greater common good, for as they say, and I believe this. We are all truly brothers and this senseless squabbling amongst ourselves is one of man kinds greatest tragedies. What a better world this would be if we just lived for today and forgot the grievances we feel we have suffered in the past. I fear the Arabs have no intention of adopting this point of view and I fear the end results of their stance will bring untold hardships and misery on themselves and way too many innocent others.
22. Is he a historian or a Manipulator?
Daniel ,   Lod; Israel   (01.25.07)
23. Born 5 years after Dachau !
Hiram ,   ----------   (01.25.07)
The infamous Mr Irivng, born 5 years after the Nazis opened up the first " concentration camp" of Dachau, is a typical product of the "Old World Extreme Right" which through its various component allowed people like him to be published through various channels. Revisionism is not punished like it should. Irving was previously convicted but if I recall properly appelead and won. He is currently banned from appearing in Austria if I recall, but it is not enough. European parliamentary bodies should issue more laws about this "intellectual attitude" and holocaust revisionists should be deprived of their civil rights. When it comes to countries openly voicing this kind of attitude , and regardless of the "type" of holocaust, the UN should simply ban them from belonging to the "inner circle" . What goes for Irving should go also for Turkey when it comes to denying the Armenian genocide.
24. to joe #17-israel love america.
avraham ,   jerusalem   (01.25.07)
we will never forget what you guys did for us. you are the only friends we got!!!! may god bless you forever.
25. Incarcerate Him in the Archives
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. USA   (01.25.07)
To #1: Shooting is too good for this nut. Hows about the type of hanging Saddam and his half-brother and chemical Ali got just recently in Iraq? But David is not just ranting and raving. There is a method to his madness. He, like Abjihadmad wants to undermine the Holocaust and Israel (Zionism). To that extent he is more than a nuisance. Killing him might be counterproductive I'm afraid however and just increase his supporters. Paying no attention to this imbecile is probably the way to handle him, David Duke and others of their ilk. Or, perhaps, confine him to the German archives listing Holocaust victims..forever. He is to be taken seriously, as is his wannabe murderer of Jews, the Pres. of Iran.
26. to Joe #17
Haji ,   Mumbai, India   (01.25.07)
Yes America is Israel's best friend, but you need to wake up and realize that anti-semitism is on the rise even in America. Don't blame it on a few "bums", it is more of a problem than you would like to think. With the first Muslim US congressman being sworn in on the Koran and all those self-loathing liberal American Jews eating it up, you can bet things are going to get worse before better. Sharia law, coming to a town near you very soon.
27. why is this news?
(01.25.07)
28. He's a "historian" like I'm a Martian Ninja
Logic ,   Israel   (01.25.07)
29. Preserve Inalienable Right
John R Mallernee ,   Washington, D.C.   (01.25.07)
Freedom of expression is an inalienable right, one which no government has the authority to regulate, and that inalienable right includes being able to make foolish, unpopular, and/or objectionable statements. Popular opinions don't need any legal protection, but it is the unpopular minotity view which must be protected and preserved. What is popular today may well be considered unacceptable by future generations. "What goes around, comes around."
30. What is a "holocaust denier" ?
Yair   (01.25.07)
“Irving (…) said there was no doubt the Nazis killed millions of Jews” “British historian and holocaust denier David Irving” What is a “holocaust denier” ?
