Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

It first came to me via the Hoffman Wire, <hoffman@hoffman-info.com> - and I looked at it in disbelief! And then it started raining copies and commentary from different parts of the world.

When I called Ernst in Toronto to get his reaction, he said in a voice I have hardly ever heard: "Ohmygod, Ingrid! Ohmygod! This is soooo good! Ohmygod! As you would say, DELICIOUS!"

What is it?

In what can only be called a desperate, last ditch attempt by the Lipstadt defense to shore up the crumbling Holocaust orthodoxy, a judicial SOS has gone out to Israeli Dirt File Keepers to help them save their kosher bacon.

What do they want? The Eichmann Diaries!

Can Himmler's Diaries be far behind? Or even another fake set of Hitler Diaries? Anything to stave off the inevitable Truth in History Reckoning!

Here I bring you with pleasure the Ha'aretz February 27, 2000 article, which you can find in all its glory and significance at < http://www3.haaretz.co.il/eng/htmls/kat8_4.htm>

Titled "London lawyers request Eichmann journals for Holocaust denial suit; A-G wants to cooperate", it is written by Dalia Shehori, Ha'aretz Correspondent. As usual, Zundelsite comments follow brief paragraphs of the original title:

Ha'aretz:

Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein will hold an urgent meeting today to discuss a request from defense lawyers in a Holocaust denial defamation suit in London. The lawyers have asked the State of Israel to supply copies of writings by Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann months before his 1962 execution in Israel.

Zundelsite:

Now let me be facetious here: Why not enlist Mossad? They could make a daring raid on London, employing the many Israeli devotees and loyalists - who, according to former Mossad agent, Ostrovski, exist there, ready to lend a hand - kidnap Irving, take him to Israel, continue the show trial there, and show the world how it is done! It wouldn't be the first time!

Ha'aretz:

The defamation trial has been brought by controversial British historian David Irving against Deborah Lipstadt, a scholar in modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies at Emory University who branded Irving a "dangerous spokesman in the service of Holocaust deniers." Irving is suing Lipstadt, and Penguin Books publishers who released her volume "Denying the Holocaust: the Growing Assault on Truth and Memory." Irving alleges that Lipstadt's book caused irreparable harm to his reputation as a historian, causing him considerable financial damage.

Zundelsite:

Please recall Professor Kevin MacDonald's witness statement in the Irving-Lipstadt trial. (URL of Irving's website below) This latest move is only an open admission of how Israel's critics are dealt with. In other trials, this kind of help was covert. Now it is overt, for all the world to see.

Ha'aretz:

Irving denies that millions of Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis. He claims that Hitler didn't know about the genocide until the final stages of the Second World War.

Zundelsite:

Obviously, Irving has hit some very raw nerves. Just as the Syrians did with their "Holocaust Denial" comment in their paper, Irving obviously has pressed some Israeli hot buttons. They know that the jig is up soon - hence, the Israeli Cavalry to the Rescue!

Ha'aretz:

Lipstadt's defense attorney, Richard Rempton, asked Rubinstein last week for a copy of Eichmann's journal entries. These are documents written by Eichmann while imprisoned in Israel, waiting for the verdict in his trial. The documents have been kept at Israel's state archives.

Zundelsite:

"Confessions" of prisoners have long been considered of questionable value by historians and military people as well as honest judges. When the enemy captured Americans in the Korean conflict, and again in Vietnam and even in Iraq, a great deal was made about them being coerced while in captivity to do and say things against their will to save their lives etc. In World War II the Soviets, employing their well-tried methods in getting Stalin's victims in the purge trials to incriminate themselves, got high ranking German officers to do the same. These officers got better rations, nice accommodations in villas, and other fringe benefits in hopes that they would "sing." Patti Hearst joined her very kidnappers and made their cause her own. Shrinks call it the Stockholm Syndrome.

Ha'aretz:

Transcript copies of the Eichmann diaries are near completion; and should a decision be reached today during the attorney general's consultations to assent to the requests forwarded by Lipstadt's defense, a transcript will be dispatched urgently to London.

Zundelsite:

How stupid do they think we are to swallow that kind of pap? Transcripts are "near completion"? What could possibly have taken the Israelis forty years to transcribe a few hundred, at most a few thousand, pages of such enormous historical value? Haven't all kinds of people lusted after those diaries, including Eichmann's son? The all-important question now: Just how authentic will these transcripts be? Irving, well-known for his skill with original documents, has to demand (. . . and no doubt will!) all of the originals and insist on airtight paper-, ink- and handwriting authentication.

Ha'aretz:

Legal sources estimated last night that Rubinstein is inclined to agree to Lipstadt's request, ***as the attorney general attributes cardinal importance to the struggle against Holocaust denial***. (Emphasis added) While serving in the past as Cabinet Secretary, Rubinstein chaired a public forum which kept track of anti-Semitism around the globe.

Zundelsite:

Ayayay! "Cardinal importance"?!

They realize, and now they advertise, (!) that the so-called "Holocaust" is their Achilles Heel. That's why they hound Revisionists worldwide - with the help of their Israeli Fifth Column aficionados and flunkies in and outside of governments, the intelligence services, the police, media and judiciary.

Ha'aretz:

According to the sources, Rubinstein regards the Eichmann document request as an opportunity to play a constructive part in effort to combat Holocaust denial. In recent weeks world Jewish organizations have been critical of Israel's silence during the Irving defamation trial.

Zundelsite:

Play a constructive part? Constructive for whom? With what? With likely edited transcripts of a condemned man? Held incommunicado by the Israelis for years? Where they controlled every book and newspaper he was allowed to see while in captivity?

Is that how you arrive at historical truths? Or is this a bit of off-shore emergency trial management?

Ha'aretz:

The discussion today will apparently involve authorities with whom Rubinstein has consulted in the past in connection with the Eichmann documents. These include Prof. Avatar Friesal (from the state archives), Holocaust scholar Prof. Yehuda Bauer, former Supreme Court President Moshe Landau, retired Supreme Court judge Gabriel Bach (who worked with the prosecution during the Eichmann trial), and others.

Zundelsite:

People like former Supreme Court President, Moshe Landau, whose court sanctioned the physical and psychological torture of Israelis Palestinian and other captives, described in thousands of cases by Human Rights groups?

People like Yehuda Bauer, who once said that there were no gas chambers at Mauthausen, but then reversed himself to help shore up the lie a little longer?

Ha'aretz:

The Eichmann journals divide into three parts. Eichmann devotes the first section to self-defense, distancing himself from the final solution. In the second section, entitled the "false idols," Eichmann perorates (?) about responsibility for the murder of Jews, concluding that the Nazi regime is to blame, writing that "ultra-nationalism is the largest catastrophe known to all peoples." The third, short section involves "philosophical reflections."

Zundelsite:

Sounds like someone scripted this scenario with buzz words like "final solution" and "false idols." Read this again and let it sink in: "Ultra-nationalism is the largest catastrophe known to all peoples." This reads like last week's Simon Wiesenthal Center handout in response to the non-existent "Austrian threat" - or one of those self-serving B'nai Brith "Annual Hate Activity" reports with which they inundate government and the media people with self-serving propaganda to shore up and advance the Jewish agenda.

Ha'aretz:

Former Supreme Court Justice Bach, who read the Eichmann documents in their entirety, says that they include no special, or new, material. He says that the journals do not deny the Holocaust. They are, according to Bach, an attempt on Eichmann's part to mitigate the onus of the charges made against him. Bach adds that Eichmann made a similar effort while on the stand in the trial, so the written journals do not convey any new evidence.

Zundelsite:

The operating term here is "in their entirety." Why are they useful, now, to Lipstadt's defense?

Ha'aretz:

Fragments from the documents were published in the past in a book by Gideon Housner.

Zundelsite:

Take note: Gideon Hausner was the prosecutor in the Eichmann case. It will be interesting to compare the "new version" - or latest version - with his book to see what he thought Eichmann said - which was deemed damaging to the Holocaust story then!

Stay tuned! No doubt there's more to come!
