Newsgroups: alt.revisionism Subject: David Irving: Antisemite From: The Nizkor ProjectOrganization: The Nizkor Project, http://www.nizkor.org Archive/File: people/i/irving.david/libel.suit/Irving-as-antisemite Last-Modified: 2001/05/17 "Mr. Justice Gray of the Queen's Bench Division, in giving judgment against David Irving in April, 2000 wrote:<1> "[Irving's] words are directed against Jews, either individually or collectively, in the sense that they are by turns hostile, critical, offensive, and derisory in their references to semitic people, their characteristics and appearances. A few examples will suffice: Irving has made claims that the Jews deserve to be disliked; that they brought the Holocaust on themselves; that Jewish financiers are crooked; that Jews generate anti-semitism by their greed and mendacity; that it is bad luck for Mr. Wiesel to be called "Weasel"; that Jews are amongst the scum of humanity; that Jews scurry and hide furtively, unable to stand the light of day; that Simon Wiesenthal has a hideous, leering evil face; and so on... The inference which in my judgment is clearly to be drawn from what Irving has said and written is that he is anti-semitic." (Matas, David. Bloody Speech. Winnipeg & Niagara Falls, 2000, p. 64) <1> Judgment of April 11, 2000, paragraphs 13.101-105.
