Perhaps France fell first, in 1991, with its loi Gayssot. Then (or slightly before) fell Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Belgium, not necessarily in that order. All these countries, and of course Israel, have capitulated to historical revisionism in the most abjectly desperate manner imaginable: they now officially, with laws, threaten people …

In 2009, then-reigning Russian President Dimitry Medvedev and Israeli President Shimon Peres issued a joint statement, clearly demonstrating how important the Holocaust doctrine is to Russia's national patriotic ideology, and in turn, to its foreign policy in Eastern Europe and the surrounding regions.

Seven years ago I pulled off a coup that no one else had ever been able to do, and that no one else has been able to do since: I was able to get a solidly revisionist film screened at a mainstream film festival. The film was titled El Gran …

But what was strange was that although Goldstein was hated and despised by everybody, although every day, and a thousand times a day, on platforms, on the telescreen, in newspapers, in books, his theories were refuted, smashed, ridiculed, held up to the general gaze for the pitiful rubbish that they …

The same groups which have made a cause celebre out of every small-town effort to refuse to carry the latest …

Yesterday's op ed by Daniel Ellsberg (of 1971 Pentagon Papers fame) provided a stunning retrospective on what Ellsberg calls the "different America" that dealt with him 40 years ago vis-a-vis the America that NSA Leaker Edward Snowden faces today for having committed "crimes" very similar to those committed by Ellsberg. …

There is a global network of lawyers and judges coordinated from offices in Tel Aviv devoted to the advancement, in their respective countries, of the interests of the state of Israel—by the agency of their countries’ legal systems.

I am writing in response to Executive Director Nossel's recent letter regarding the release of reporter Jason Rezaian and poets Fatemeh Ekhtesari and Medhi Mousavi. Thank you for the good new!

I have never really used this venue for my own personal messages, but two events of the recent past lead me to do so. Truth is, I should have sent out such a message right after the first event that threw my life into turmoil, but the second event following in its wake spoiled this plan, hence the delay. Let me explain...

Ich habe diesen E-Mail-Rundbrief nie wirklich für meine persönlichen Nachrichten verwendet, aber zwei Ereignisse der jüngsten Vergangenheit haben mich nun dazu veranlasst. Tatsache ist, dass ich eine solche Botschaft direkt nach dem ersten Ereignis, das mein Leben auf den Kopf stellte, hätte aussenden sollen, aber das zweite Ereignis, das darauf folgte, hat diesen Plan zunichte gemacht, daher diese Verzögerung. Lassen Sie mich das erklären...

Realmente, nunca he usado este lugar para mis propios mensajes personales, pero dos eventos del pasado reciente me llevan a hacerlo. La verdad es que debería haber enviado ese mensaje justo después del primer evento que tornó mi vida en un caos, pero el segundo evento que le siguió echó a perder este plan, de ahí el retraso.
