			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">Dr. Faurisson in Ha&#8217;aretz newspaper</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b><b></b></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">&#8220;<i>&#8230;Furthermore, when he served on the UN Human Rights Committee, together with Israel&#8217;s Prof. David Kretzmer, Holocaust denier </i><b><i>Robert Faurisson</i></b><i> &#8211; who had been convicted in France, where Holocaust denial is a criminal offense &#8211; appealed his conviction before the UN panel. Buergenthal recused himself, declaring: &#8216;As a survivor of the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Sachsenhausen whose father, maternal grandparents and many other family members were killed in the Nazi Holocaust, I have no choice but to recuse myself from participating in the decision of this case.&#8221; </i>(End quote)</span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 17px; text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">Here, again, we see the utility of &#8220;Holocaust&#8221; Newspeak. Faurisson is supposed to be obviously wrong because&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Buergenthal,&nbsp;the UN panelist who recused himself, notes his (Buergenthal&#8217;s)&nbsp;descent from victims of the Nazis. This victimization is the connotation of the &#8220;Holocaust.&#8221; I would say &#8220;denotation&#8221; rather than&nbsp;connotation, but in practice there is no denotation &#8211; dictionary and encyclopedia definitions aside (since they are observed only episodically and conveniently, as it suits the accusers). If&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Buergenthal is accusing&nbsp;Dr. Faurisson of denying the execution gas chambers of Auschwitz, then documentation and testimony rebutting Faurisson&#8217;s doubt (&#8220;denial&#8221;) should be marshaled, rather than&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Buergenthal&#8217;s&nbsp;allusions to his erstwhile presence in concentrations camps (&#8220;Auschwitz and Sachsenhausen&#8221;), since the fact that Mr.&nbsp;Buergenthal survived these camps is testimony in favor of Faurisson&#8217;s thesis.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">If &#8220;Holocaust&#8221; is defined as internment in a concentration camp, mass shootings and persecution in general, its ontological uniqueness is lost: many nations experienced similar criminal oppression. It is the claims of homicidal gas chambers in Auschwitz that preserves the special category, incumbent on all humanity to recognize, of a cosmic level of &#8220;Holocaust&#8221; suffering above every other suffering. Yet, in accordance with the ambiguous function of Newspeak, &#8220;Holocaust&#8221; is very often used, as above, first, as an instant indicator of a deranged or malevolent crank who denies the equivalent of the sun rising in the east, and second, as a signifier, to fellow true believers, that the details of the &#8220;denier&#8217;s&#8221; research dossier need not be seriously investigated or even considered, since these &#8220;neo-Nazi kooks&#8221; deny the record of that which can be seen by all &#8211; concentration camps, persecutions and shootings. By this ruse, the central object of the skepticism of the revisionists &#8211; the execution gas chambers &#8211; are rendered immaterial to the issue of judging the lucidity and potential criminality of Robert Faurisson and his fellow-travelers.</div>

<div style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">I snicker when I see photos of actors portraying Jesus covering his head. Where in the Old Testament is the command for men to cover their heads? It is a symbol of the traditions of the Pharisees, not of Old Testament Israel. One prominent sign&nbsp;of a man who is liberated from the&nbsp;<i>Torah shebeal peh</i>&nbsp;(oral traditions) of the Pharisees, is a bare head (unless he uncovers his head for purposes of dissimulation, e.g. U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman).&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, the readers&#8217; comments on the article are as interesting as the article itself. You can still see the confusion over whether Jesus is in the Talmud or not (Cf. &#8220;<i>Judaism Discovered</i>,&#8221;&nbsp;pp. 384-421).</div>

<div style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">There are several research leads here. The first section details the harrowing lives of Judaic youth in the hellish &#8220;<i>heder</i>&#8221; (school &#8220;room&#8221;) &#8211; the tyranny and ignorance of the &#8220;melamed&#8221; (Talmud teacher) and the dysgenic filth of the heder itself (Old Testament Israelite standards of hygiene were generally not implemented by the Khazars of eastern European Orthodox Judaism). Observe the late 18th century movement (<i>Haskalah</i>) away from Orthodox Judaism, as the Enlightenment influenced progressive Judaics, then note the late nineteenth century reaction, after liberation, when it was decided, even by many Judaic progressives, that the dark traditions had to be rehabilitated in order to preserve their nationalist idol, the alleged &#8220;Jewish race.&#8221; Consequently, liberal-Judaic nostalgia for&nbsp;the filth, tyranny and ignorance of the <i>heder</i> was, perversely, revived; a revival that has flourished up to our own time, via Martin Buber and Elie Wiesel&#8217;s hymnbooks to the Hasidim, along with many other such panegyrics by &#8220;enlightened&#8221; Judaics.&nbsp;</div>

<div style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">(It was among the the British and, ironically, the Germans, that the Judaic liberation from Talmudic tyranny survived the longest. But as Oswald Spengler pointed out, whereas Benjamin Disraeli was allowed to employ his considerable talents in service to the British empire, Hitler was too much in thrall to occult &#8220;antisemitism&#8221; to make intellectual and political space for the service&nbsp;to the Reich&nbsp;of patriotic German-Judaics; a fatal blunder on the part of a false messiah hopelessly outclassed by the cunning of Britannia).</div>

At the bottom are black people, whom everyone pities. At the top are the Chinese, whom no one pities. Alongside them are the English, the one foreign group that Hollywood may officially reduce to unpleasant racist stereotypes&#8230;.the only US ethnic identity which can be perpetually reduced to a stereotype of grasping, greedy, shallow bigots are WASPs. Not far behind them are the hillbillies of the Appalachians, namely, the Ulster-Scots.&#8221; (End quote)</div>
