Perhaps it is. As I understand it, the major quibble is not over the
number of Jews killed, but the degree to which industrial scale gas
chamber executions contributed to the total.

As I understand it, the criteria for being a "Holocaust Denier" are that
one deliberately falsifies history for which indisputable proof exists,
with the political motive of attacking Jewish interests. Legitimate
academic disputes and simple stupidity don't count.

Apparently, judges can also completely disregard the law anytime it suits
them.

I have no clue as to what the judge's motivations were. Perhaps he saw
how badly Irving was being fucked over, and didn't wish to be next in
line.

I dislike the use of labels to smear people who disagree with the
politically correct view. It's getting to the point where everyone who
quibbles with the Jews' account of WWII is a "Holocaust Denier", everyone
who has a problem with consent or pornography laws is a
"Pedophile," everyone who likes the Second Amendment is a "Gun
Nut," everyone who criticizes the ATF is an "anti-Government Militia
Member."
It's a lot easier to call someone names, than it is to argue with them
over their perspective.
What's shocking is how well financed the defense was. They had
meticulously documented everything Irving ever said on the subject, from
speeches to small academic audiences, to offhand remarks at dinner
parties.
And now they can send him the bill, label him, and prevent anything he
says from ever having any crediblity again.
Something's wrong here.
