Holocaust Denial

[flip_flop]

Further to the question below, should holocaust denial be a crime?

[New Judge]

The question is now merely academic anyway (as are many wher EU legislation overrides UK law).

As I have tried to explain, the matter is a crime in some "member states" and this means that people are liable to be arrested and charged with the offence in other "member states" even though the activty may not be illegal there.

For those who shout "baloney", just look at what has happened to Gerald Toben. He is now in custody awaiting an extradition hearing.

I won't join in this very interesting debate, except to say, as a Jew myself, and in answer to the question,

No.

Sorry Quinlad but I get so used to you having a pop at me, I thought you were doing it again.

I don't really think that a German camera man would have dared to enter a wagon load of Jews, especially how the Germans crammed them in, just to take pictures of the outside looking from the inside, why would he? Unless it was specially setup and the boy was posing?

Hardly a subject for Nazi propaganda purposes, but on the other hand it would be for Jewish purposes.

[Quinlad]

I don't think it's beyond the bounds of possibility. At all. If you attack the camera man, you get yourself shot dead. The cameraman knows it and so does everyone on the truck.

Equally, the camera man would probably have done the interior shot first, when there were only a few people in the truck. That's the beauty of editing.

That seems more plausible to me than the suggestion that it's all a Jewish conspiracy.
