How sweet it is to be able to talk back! All afternoon, I have been inundated with the "IBM-caused-the-Holocaust news" - in more variations than you can imagine! - and here comes a juicy ADL missive about the planned International Revisionist convention in, of all places, Lebanon.
Frankly, I am surprised they haven't shrieked before since the news of that conference has been bandied about on the Net for some time.
Well, someone must have thought, it's better now than never!
So there it goes:
ADL on the Beirut Conference
Anti-Defamation League
Press Release Holocaust Denial
Holocaust Deniers to Convene in Lebanon
---------------------------------------
Jerusalem, Israel, February 11, 2001 -- Holocaust deniers are taking their drumbeat of anti-Semitism to the Middle East, where they plan to embark on a new campaign to attract the like-minded to their brand of hatred against Israel and the Jewish people.
Zundelsite:
While Jews like Finkelstein and Novick are exposing the Holocaust Lobby as a global criminal enterprise, the ADL is desperately trying to deflect from the fallout of Finkelstein's juggernaut by launching a little more of their favorite shrieks of "Anti-Semitism!"
ADL:
According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Beirut, Lebanon, will be the site of a major conference of Holocaust deniers scheduled to begin on March 31. Co-sponsored by the California-based Institute of Historical Review (IHR), the leading American association of Holocaust deniers, it will be the first major organized conference on Holocaust denial to be held in an Arabic-speaking nation.
Zundelsite:
This is naturally worrisome to the Holocaust blackmailers, since the Arabs are beginning to use the research findings of Revisionist think tanks like the IHR in education and as foreign policy tools. The Arabs have the oil. Israel and its Fifth Columnists like the ADL have only their threadbare lies and shopworn phrases like "Anti-Semitism."
ADL:
The conference, titled "Revisionism and Zionism" signals a major shift in strategy for the Holocaust denial movement, which once primarily focused its anti-Semitic propaganda on Europe and the United States. In the past, the IHR has held its annual gatherings closer to home, in places such as Los Angeles or Orange County, Calif.
Zundelsite:
Revisionism is the wave of the future. Zionism is discredited as a colonialist/apartheid tool of the past. :)
ADL:
"The persistent drumbeat of Holocaust denial is moving to the Middle East, where the deniers are reaching out to Islamic regimes to find sympathy for their anti-Semitic and racist views," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director.
Zundelsite:"The persistent drumbeat?" Staying power is what we have and what they fear- a commodity lacking in Israel and among Mr. Foxman's volatile crowd.
ADL:"The Holocaust deniers have spread their message in the United States. They have met with like-minded anti-Semites in Europe. Now they are fomenting anti-Semitism in Muslim states where there is a sinister track record for the use of Holocaust denial against Israel. For the Holocaust deniers, the already charged Mideast environment is fertile ground for their views."
Zundelsite:
Nobody is fomenting Anti-Semitism more successfully than people like Foxman and the ADL with their ever more brazen Holocaust shakedown themes - as witnessed by the targeting of IBM! These parasites are insatiable! It will be their undoing!
ADL:
Conference organizers are not publicizing the location of the four-day conference, saying only that it will convene somewhere in Beirut. IHR has stated that any visitors, including journalists, who arrive in Lebanon with passports containing an Israeli visa or stamp will not be admitted into the country. IHR has also indicated that, in a departure from past meetings, they will be presenting lectures in Arabic, French and English in partnership with another Holocaust denial group, the Association Vérité et Justice of Switzerland. Jurgen Graf, the president of this group, fled to Iran in November 2000 after his appeals of a 1998 Swiss conviction for inciting racial hatred were denied.
Zundelsite:
Why not mention the Russian and Hebrew lectures planned?

Holocaust Denial: A Daily Diet for Arab Media
Anti-Semitism and racial theories still play an important cultural role in many Middle Eastern countries, where anti-Semitic stereotypes and canards are an almost daily occurrence in the state-run media. Holocaust denial has become part of this daily diet in Egypt, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, the Palestinian Authority and Qatar, who use it as a means to foment anti-Semitic hatred among their people.
Zundelsite:
Racial theories and anti-semitism have not played a significant role in Muslim societies. That's smoke-and-mirror talk. Reaction to Israel's colonial-apartheid regime is not anti-semitism. "Zionism is racism" said a UN resolution not long ago.
ADL:
Holocaust denial, which has become one of the most important vehicles for contemporary anti-Semitism, is especially attractive to the ideologies of anti-Israel Arab and Muslim groups. They believe Holocaust denial can undermine the legitimacy of the Jewish State by claiming that the Holocaust is a historical fabrication created to win sympathy for Jews and Israel.
Zundelsite:
The cause of Arab awakening is not Holocaust denial. It is the realization that the Holocaust is a racket based on a concocted WWII propaganda lie used to extort huge sums of money and enormous political advantage for the Zionist Occupation Regime in Palestine from the people of the world. The lie is being exposed as a lie - and thereby loses its power.
ADL:
Fertile Ground for Hate
After suffering several legal defeats and other setbacks in Europe, where hate speech is illegal in several countries, Holocaust deniers now see the Middle East as a fertile ground to spread anti-Semitism and hatred of Jews. The denial movement may have been emboldened by the recent renewal of Israeli-Palestinian tensions and the breakdown of the peace process.
Zundelsite:
Israeli behavior and oppression of Palestinians are the causes for an upsurge of anti-Israeli feelings. Not Revisionism! Israeli racism towards its subjected Palestinians is what causes dislike of Israelis. The rest is merely blah-blah!
ADL:
Several nations in the region, including Lebanon, have unofficially taken up the cause, in the media and in speeches by political and religious leaders. Some of the most notorious figures in the denial movement, including Mark Weber and Ernst Zundel, have been given significant airtime on Iran's official radio station, IRIB. In May 2000, the Iranian embassy in Vienna granted refuge to another Holocaust denier, Wolfgang Frohlich. French Holocaust denier Roger Garaudy received major support from Middle Eastern countries during his trial in 1998. He received a hero's welcome when he toured the region after the trial. Holocaust denial has also been expressed in the media controlled by the Palestinian Authority and on Radio Islam, an anti-Israel radio station that broadcasts from Sweden.
Zundelsite:
The fear of the ADL spin doctors is palpable! They KNOW that their lies are a spent force! The Arabs are wise to them, thanks to the hard work of people like Faurisson, Irving, Weber, Graf and Ernst Zundel - yessir! Revisionism rules the airwaves - and soon the halls of academe in the entire Moslem Crescent. The Revisionist struggle has not been in vain.
