Rolf Raess ,   Switzerland   (01.18.13)
homosexual escapades with our youth group in Switzerland.
2. Freedom of speech..
deavman ,   Acco, Israel   (01.18.13)
He is probably a deluded individual, but he should still have the right to express his opinion no matter how stupid or historically incorrect it is. Only when it becomes incitement should speech be legally censored.
3. above
moishe   (01.18.13)
and I dont believe Jesus is the son of God. that makes us even!
4. his Church will give him all the Euros for fine+defense

5. MEL GIBSON"S PERSONAL PRIEST???
bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (01.18.13)
So nice to know that the same anti semitic idiots remain making them subjects for crimes and fines. Should have put him in a gas chamber, turned on the gas, and removed his sorry ass just as he was about to lose his life, just for demonstration purposes only. Why such a small fine? Was he excommunicated?
6. # 3 Moishe one good thing.....
bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (01.18.13)
'Jesus' didn't rescue this gay anti semitic priest. Too bad the priest wasn't crucified. He does represent many anti semitic 'catholics' who still hate Jews. ( could he have been castrated for pedophilia? ) I'd pay to see that !!!
7. POOR PALESTINians, Lets look at Statistics and some numbers
moussa ,   East Jerusalem   (01.18.13)
I am a Palestinian, and i admit the holocust, it was terrible what happened to the jewish people. On the other hand why PALESTINIANS should pay the Price of Nazists?? Since the year 2,000 almost 10,000 palestinians were killed, since 1967 almost 27,000 homes were destroyed and thousands of prisonrs and detainees besides the every day suffering waiting on long lines on checkpoints. Please have mercy on us
8. Calumnious lies
Alex Goldschmidt ,   Amsterdam, NL   (01.18.13)
Mr Raess, your invented accusation and false calumny should be removed from the talkback. You cannot defame bishop Williamson, just because you despise his historical opinions so loudly voiced. Despite this, Williamson tried to prevent the interview part on holocaust from being broadcast in Sweden. This fine and prison time only serve to reinforce ideologies which deny the holocaust. They see it as a confirmation. Freedom of speech on this topic too, please. Only incitement to violence must be punished.
9. #7 moussa
aaron ,   toronto,canada   (01.18.13)
Moussa I hear you but why are you asking us for mercy on you? you should be asking your fake leaders(elected for four years going on eight) and doing ABSOLUTELY nothing for you.Get rid of your guns,bombs,and hate for Israelies and after a calm period you will see how good your neighbours will treat you.
10.  criminal arrogance
ky   (01.18.13)
What an arrogant individual. Was he there? Did he witness anything? Absolutely not. He states a personal belief which goes against sworn testimony of many people in a court of law at Nuremberg who were actually there and who did witness these events. These include former Nazis and contradicts expert opinion of historians who have original sourced documents . The murder of millions justifies enforcement of the letter of the law. Attempts to revise history will always be made by those with an agenda, be it fame money or hatred . Historically the mass of research and eyewitness testimony has proved those events and there is no evidence of similar weight or any weight whatever that justifies revision. He deserves prosecution and imprisonment for a serious crime
11. Abu Mazen also Holocaust denier
John ,   Israel   (01.18.13)
Also Abu Mazen is an holocaust denier, as he wrote in his PhD thesis at the university in Moscow. Still some people in Israel consider him a welcome partner in peace.
12. #8 you too?
Rolf Raess ,   Switzerland   (01.18.13)
apparently your experiences with Williamson were better than mine. This beside, Williamson is clearly a very sick person with a sick mind.
13. Moussa: I am Jewish from Baghdad
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (01.18.13)
We Jews from the middle east, 800000 of us lost our homes and nationality in countries we lived in for 2600 years, before Islam was born. Many of us were killed and injured over years of persecution as Jews or Dhimies. Instead of reaching a settlement in 1948, Islam teaches that you must kill all the Jews. Too Bad, so your leaders, mostly dishonest and power hungry, encourage teaching hate to generations of Arabs. That way, you will never amount to much, because instead of good life, education, honest work , prosperity you chose war and death. Muhammad had it wrong to spurt hate about Jews. If Allah wanted Jews dead, Allah himself would kill them , not ask Muhammed, since Allah always dealt direct with the Jews.. I wish you would get some honest leaders and Mullahs, who stop teaching hate and destroying your lives.
14. #7 YOU ARE STATING THE CASE FOR JEWS
...DACON9   (01.18.13)
AS USUAL YOU REPLACED JEWS and inserted arabs. It was and still is the JEWS that suffered from your attacks.It is the JEWS homes that were forcibly taken to give to you arabs. It is the JEWISH CHILDREN that have been killed.It is the JEWISH woman that are kidnapped forced into marrige then turned into sex and drug slaves. ISRAEL belongs to the JEWS not arabs. IT WAS THE JEWS THAT WAS ALWAYS ON JEWISH LAND arabs were the ninth conquering tribe on JERUSALEM.ARABS are not INDENGINOUS TO ISRAEL.. LIBERAL JEWS DO YOU ALSO HEAR ME? ARABS WERE NOT INDEGENIOUS TO ISRAEL. LEARN THE HISTORICAL FACTS.
15. What he is saying is that the murder of Jews was &
Moshe ,   Usa   (01.18.13)
still is, justified & appropriate. He is just a piece of trash. I wonder why his knowledge of christianity would have made him so demonizing of Jews. Maybe it was because the romans killed jesus. Yuk . . . . Yuk !
16. @ 14...It's obvious your reading a book that
Edithann ,   USA   (01.18.13)
agrees with you... I don't believe in 'you' historical facts...They don't make sense... Read some other (real) history... Jews were never INDEGENIOUS to Israel until you're 'G-d led you to Canaan. .You've done to the Palestinians today, what you did to the Canaanites, It's only history repeating itself, and the outcome will be the same also.... Unmitigated proof is needed for Gas Chambers...and so far there isn't any...No one denies the holocaust, only Gas Chambers...and you have no proof, hear-say is not proof! Let's see if Ynet posts this comment...Seems Canaan isn't allowed to be mentioned... TATA .
17. What about all the people that believe
For Real   (01.18.13)
the earth is EXACTLY 5773 years old. Should they be jailed for denying the facts or allow to believe what they believe.
18. # 17..Latest dinosaur bones were dated 10,000 years old...
Edithann ,   USA   (01.19.13)
So much for youf 'EXACTLY 5773 years as facts... they should be jailed for believing the BS of 5773... TATA
19. Good but still NOT enough // END
Norma   (01.19.13)
20. You don't get it ,...
split ,   US   (01.19.13)
He didn't get punish for denying it he got punish for mentioning it ,... From one extreme to another that's the Germany today - There's more freedom of speech in Russia and former Soviet block than in this so called free and democratic world ,...
21. Poor palistinians
Marc ,   Melbourne australia   (01.19.13)
1000 dead since 2000= 50000 rockets fired.27000 homes destroyed= 27000 terrorist attacks
22. 16 , the gaz chambers existed !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.19.13)
we have more than enough testimonies of survivors who worked in the sonderkommandos , of guards and of the commander [ who was NOT tortured ] There were traces of this poison found at the site of those chambers , not on other places . The zyklon B used was without this additif that smells to avoid poisoning by accident . The chambers had doors and windows that could be sealed off , had holes to throw the poison in the chambers . The quantities zyklon B used were enough for "delousing" hundreds of million people . For "delousing" you don't need special "chambers" , it can be done in open air [ as the US troops did ] People who were send to Auschwitz from West european countries were registered when leaving Drancy , Mechelen and so . On arrival ONLY those who were "selected" to work were registered , received a number . NO TRACE of the others because those who were gassed were NOT registered .
23. 20 , NOT TRUE
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.19.13)
Denial is punishable in : Czech Republik , Hungary , Lityhuania , Poland , Romania and Slovakia . All countries of the former Soviet bloc .

(01.19.13)
i watched the entire video. i clearly heard him DENY IT. he said, and i quote, "there were no gas ovens. it was proven by chemists in both europe and the usa. look at faurrison's research...." i would call it denying, not just mentioning this. if you want to make a point, you have to support it with true facts, not wishful thinking.
