Not Only Deir Yassin

The following article (3160 words!) was published in the Hebrew daily Ha'ir on 6 May 1992. It contains new revelations about war crimes committed by the Zionist forces in 1948 against Palestinian Arabs. There are a number of reasons why the publication of this information is important: It shows once more and through the pen…

My Visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, May 30-31, 1996

My introduction to this report is to advance the simple proposition that one cannot fully appreciate the alleged modus operandi of the Holocaust without actually visiting its setting and structure. I chose Auschwitz-Birkenau based on a keen study of the Leuchter Report but also the criticisms offered by his nemesis, Jean-Claude Pressac. I went both…

The Roger Garaudy Affair

Former communist Roger Garaudy converts to revisionism” “L'an cien communiste Roger Garaudy se convertit au révisonnisme”. Such was the headline bannering Christiane Chombeau's January 31st article in Le Monde last winter, one rich in meaning for those who had followed Roger Garaudy's meandering career as a French intellectual since the 1950s.

Attitude of Jewish Leaders Outside Europe During WWII

That the Jewish leaders outside Europe, who were publicly speaking of “extermination”, were in contact with the Jews in occupied Europe but failed to inform them of “extermination” can be easily inferred from Yehuda Bauer's American Jewry and the Holocaust. Many more examples of this failure can be cited. A good recent one is the…

What’s Black and White and Read All Over?

The controversial syndicated columnist Joseph Sobran once suggested The New York Times ought to be renamed or subtitled “The Holocaust Update” because of its Holocaustocentric tendencies. I wonder if that label mightn't be more fittingly applied to The Globe and Mail, which bills itself as “Canada's National Newspaper.” Take the Friday, March 15 [1996] issue…
