The Need for a Global Holocaust Debate:
An Open Challenge to the Simon Wiesenthal Center

The Simon Wiesenthal Centre's activities in censoring their opposition on and off the Net are becoming ever more brazen and are bordering on the illegal or even criminal. The latest example is the Simon Wiesenthal Centre's Canadian Director, Sol Littman, apparently officially asking CSIS, the Canadian Civilian Spy Agency, to probe into Zündel's perfectly legitimate business affairs. For details, see SWC Response Magazine, Summer/Fall 1996, Volume 17, No. 2.

Worldwide, freedom fighters have identified the SWC as a free speech suppression organization, and on at least one occasion gave them an official "censorship" award.

Even before January of this year, when their censorship actions unleashed the first world-wide cyberspace standoff that blocked 1500 sites on a California website which housed the Zundelsite, we have been asking for an orderly, well-monitored and scholarly debate of the Holocaut topic. We have refused petty and irrelevant linking to trivial documents and participation in unruly newsgroups, but Revisionists worldwide are now, as ever, more than willing to engage in a serious, civilized and scholarly debate involving the best experts and writers on both sides.

Just prior to this cyberspace stand-off involving Telekom of Germany, we specifically asked the SWC for a release of copyright of their 13-point Breitbart Document refuting Revisionism, so we could post and answer it at least in writing. We never received a reply from the Simon Wiesenthal Center itself.

We therefore went ahead and summarized the points they raised in a comprehensive document.

In order that Zundelsite readers may judge for themselves what the Holocaust Lobby is up to in its world-wide campaign to silence the critics of their nefarious activities, we suggest that you visit not only the Simon Wiesenthal Center's website at http://www.wiesenthal.com/ but also the Anti-Defamation League at http://www.adl.org/ and the Jewish Defense League's website at http://www.jdl.org/ Until we have consulted legal advisors, we are not at this time providing live links, but we suggest that readers hand-copy the URLs provided, bookmark the three sites, and see for themselves what our opposition has to say and to offer as explanations for the legitimacy of the "Holocaust" - compared to why we say it's anti-German hate propaganda deteriorated into an extortion racket.

The Simon Wiesenthal Centre knows perfectly well traditional Holocaust promoters have no chance of winning a debate in an open, structured and fair forum. They do not want to debate the "Holocaust" in the USA; they want to intimidate critics with threats of boycotts and economic sanctions in Canada and other weaker countries; and they want to criminalize and incarcerate anybody who challenges the "Holocaust" through pernicious, repressive "hate laws" around the world.

They keep on running to governments, whining and complaining to police and the media; they attempt to pressure business, terrorize radio and TV stations and/or Internet servers with fear mongering and implied threats of dire consequences, such as loss of business through boycotts; they try to criminalize those who blow the whistle on them, etc. (If there are any lawyers out there reading this who would be willing to take a defensive Federal Civil Rights case against these people for their interference with our civil rights and contractual arrangements with radio and TV stations, please contact the Zundel-Haus at 416-922-9850)

We want readers of the Zundelsite to take a serious look at the Simon Wiesenthal Center's activities and critically analyze what they have to say, what they have already done, and what they want various governments around the world to do to curtail freedom on the Internet. Don't be deceived by their honeyed words - that's merely sugar-coating the poisoned pill of censorship. Stripped of the Talmudic double-speak rhetoric, which masquerades suppression of truthful information of their unconscionable Holocaust exploitation, there will be very little credibility left to their arguments about the so-called "Holocaust". After all, a lie repeated six million, or even six billion times, does not turn into a truth by mere repetition.

After you have visited their site, check out their magazine "Response" for good measure. Browse through the back issues of the last 2-3 years, where they brag about their achievements at stifling the free speech and free debate of others around the planet. Then come back to our site and compare, and you will know why the Simon Wiesenthal Center feels a need to censor truth tellers!

Ernst Zündel has been on record for over two decades advocating a televised symposium (nationally or even globally!) of pro- and anti-Holocaust researchers. Such a debate should be well-structured and moderated, much like a presidential debate. An alternative approach would be to establish a neutral commission of experts drawn from many countries around the world to examine the controversy of the so-called "Holocaust" - with access to the archives and files of the Arolson International Tracing Service.

Ernst Zündel has repeatedly asked the world to get involved in asking firmly for such an independent and neutral inquiry. Fifty years of anti-German hate mongering by these Holocaust Lobbyists is enough! Revisionists want a structured, live debate and not a nihilistic newsgroup shouting match of verbal abuse and character assassination mislabeled as "debate", which the Nizkor site has pushed since its inception and which he has resisted for sound reasons.

We ask readers to re-read the entire reasoned correspondence preceding the first-ever world-wide cyberspace stand-off material. It is available at Zundelsite - Nizkor Correspondence I

Judge for yourself how hard we tried to get the Nizkor site to debate, since we could not even get a declining letter from the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

Since Nizkor objected even to the term "debate" and only tried to scream us down or run us ragged, we started the "66 QA" as a unilateral response and called it the "Rebuttal Documents". They can be found at the bottom of http://www.webcom.com/ezundel/english/debate/debatetoc.html

We see these rebuttals as a mere beginning. We will certainly update our responses with the latest scientific and historical information as soon as it becomes available.
