ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny:  Now more than ever!

January 29, 2004

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

To catch up on myself with my Zgrams, I am sending you three 
responses to the poisonous Toronto Star Editorial.  What consummate 
liars our enemies are!  It amazes me time and again!

To refresh your memory, here is the editorial itself, followed by a 
brief David Irving response:

EDITORIAL: Deport Zundel now

At the risk of giving Ernst Zundel and his supporters more of the 
attention they so crave, we must ask once again: Why is he still in 
Canada?

Zundel, an infamous Holocaust denier, has no claim on this country. 
He is not a citizen. He has thumbed his nose at our laws and made a 
mockery of our justice system for decades, tying the courts up with 
increasingly arcane legal gambits.

His latest attack on Canada began nearly a year ago, when he was 
deported here by American immigration authorities. Since then, he has 
tied up the courts in legal actions by trying to claim refugee status.

Now he is engaged in another endless fight, this time over whether he 
is a security risk. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service 
declared him a threat to national security a decade ago.

Zundel has a country. It is Germany, which wants to see him return so 
he can face charges in a raft of crimes related to his spread of hate 
literature. But his allies claim sending him there amounts to 
persecution.

It is time to end this legal mess.

The federal government and Justice Minister Irwin Cotler must quickly 
get their act together and expedite this case. Judges should also 
move the case to the top of their court files.

It's well past time to buy Zundel a one-way ticket.

David Irving comments:

[START]

ONE of the problems of Editorials is that their authors are usually 
anonymous, so we don't know anything about the writer.

   We do however know a lot about Ernst Zündel, just as people know a 
lot about me: we are both Christians, and we both know the meaning of 
charity -- both how to bestow and how to receive.

    I suspect that the problem for the Star is that although Ottawa's 
new Justice minister Irwin Cotler is a Jew -- and a very active Jew 
at that, a Zionist supporter of Israel, and former chairman of the 
Canadian Jewish Congress -- he knows the meaning of the law, and the 
need to be seen to abide by it through every stage of a judicial 
process. This may infuriate the anonymous editorial writer and his 
friends, but that's the way it is.

    Zündel has not "thumbed his nose" at Canadian laws; he is innocent 
of any conviction, has a clean criminal record, and has actually 
caused wrong Canadian criminal law to be changed.

    The fact that he has been held incommunicado for a whole year in 
solitary confinement in a Canadian jail, battling wave after wave of 
lawyers and their friends, at so much cost to the Canadian taxpayer 
(and himself) is not his fault; it must be written down to the 
account of the CJC and their moneyed pals, who are determined to 
silence any voice that endangers their well-known interests.
