Holocaust supporters shun rational discussion and debate: Paul Fromm

TEHRAN, Dec. 24 (MNA) -- Paul Fromm, the director of the Canadian 
Association for Free Expression (CAFE), believes that those who 
support the Holocaust do not tolerate any rational discussion of the 
subject and have turned the Holocaust into a religion.

Following his defense of free speech, the Mehr News Agency asked his 
opinion on why Western countries were so outraged when the Iranian 
president said that if the Westerners are sincere and believe in the 
Holocaust, why don't they give part of their land to the Jews and 
asked why the Palestinians should have to pay the penalty for the 
West's crimes. Following is the text of an interview with Paul Fromm 
conducted on December 19:

Q: The Iranian president said that he thinks that the Holocaust is a 
myth. However, he also said some European countries insist that 
Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews and added that if the 
Europeans are right, why don't they give part of their land to the 
Jews. Was the view illogical?

A: I agree with the Iranian president that it is wrong to make the 
Palestinians pay, with the loss of their country, for guilt Europeans 
may feel about their treatment of the Jews. I also agree that the 
story of the "holocaust" has been used to induce false guilt in 
Europeans and North Americans. This story has allowed the Jews to 
acquire many billions of dollars in reparations from Germany and 
other countries. It has also made many people in Europe and North 
America ready to overlook Israeli atrocities and brutality.

Q: Why do they refuse to discuss the Holocaust? If they are right, 
surely they can prove that it was a historical event?

A: As the Iranian president said, in Europe you can deny the 
existence of God. However, if you question the slightest aspect of 
the self-serving story of Jewish sufferings in World War II, called 
"the holocaust", you can end up in prison in Europe. Historians like 
David Irving, now imprisoned in Austria and publishers Ernst Zundel 
and Germar Rudolf, now imprisoned in Germany, are good examples of 
this phenomenon. "The holocaust" has become a religion. It's a 
religion created by the Jews for non-Jews. Like many religions, it's 
a means of controlling the believers. As a religion, the holocaust 
demands faith and belief. Its supporters shun rational discussion and 
debate. You must believe. To question is to be a heretic and heretics 
must be punished.

Q: Why has the Holocaust become a dogma nowadays while other people 
across the world are killed and nobody cares?

A: The holocaust is a selfish story serving the political and 
economic interests of the Zionists. Hollywood, extensively controlled 
by Zionists, pumps out endless propaganda films about the holocaust. 
The sufferings of others, for instance, the 16-million Germans 
ethnically cleansed from Eastern Europe, 1944-1948, receive no 
attention whatsoever.

Q: Why have revisionists been banned from discussing the Holocaust 
and why are those who express any doubts treated like heretics?

A: The holocaust religion serves the purpose of controlling people. 
It buys Israel substantial immunity from criticism. It allows special 
treatment of Jews in most Western countries. It allows Jews to have 
disproportionate control of the media and the economy in Western 
countries, while all the while portraying themselves as a persecuted 
minority. Discussion of the holocaust would undermine the privileged 
and powerful position Zionists hold in most Western countries. 
Therefore, anyone discussing or questioning aspects of the holocaust 
story must be silenced.

Q: Your support for freedom of expression has caused some problems 
for you, isn't that so?

A: I haven't been beaten by Jewish militia. However, Jewish pressure 
led to my being fired by the Peel Board of Education because I had 
supported freedom of speech, including for some individuals like 
British war hero and journalist Doug Collins, who had questioned some 
aspects of the holocaust story and who had called Steven Spielberg's 
propaganda film "Schindler's List" "Swindler's List".


CAFE is Canada's leading free speech advocacy group and has taken a 
lead role in defending dissident Ernst Zundel and in raising support 
and funds for his defense.

Mr. Fromm earned his B.A., B.Ed. and M.A. in English literature and 
linguistics from the University of Toronto. He pursued further 
studies at the University of Waterloo, the University of San 
Francisco and Webster College in Missouri.

His work defending free speech has won him international recognition. 

He was the 1995 recipient of the George Orwell Free Speech Award 
presented by the Canadian Free Speech League and the 2002 Doug 
Collins Free Speech Award presented at David Irving's Real History 
Conference. He has spoken on the deteriorating free speech situation 
in Canada at the Barnes Review, the Real History Conference and 
before meetings of the Council of Conservative Citizens in the U.S.A.

Mr. Fromm divides his political efforts between the struggle for free 
speech and immigration reform. In 1997, after a campaign of 
defamation and agitation led by the Canadian Jewish Congress and the 
League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith, Mr. Fromm was fired from his 
position as an instructor in English after a 25-year career. Despite 
being called "an exemplary teacher" by a former Director of Education 
at the Peel Board of Education, Mr. Fromm was fired solely for his 
political views expressed on his own time outside school hours. He 
joins a number of other Canadian teachers disciplined or dismissed 
for holding politically incorrect views.

He edits the FREE SPEECH MONITOR and the CANADIAN IMMIGRATION HOTLINE 
and regularly lectures across Canada.
