64. Has the Institute for Historical Review suffered any
retaliation for its efforts to uphold the right of freedom of speech and
academic freedom?
The IHR says:
The IHR had been bombed three times and completely destroyed on July 4,
1984 by a criminal arson attack. Death threats by telephone are virtually
a daily occurence. All newspaper coverage is hostile, if there is any
coverage at all.
Nizkor replies:
Physical violence must be strongly condemned. As for "hostile
coverage," what do Nazi sympathizers expect?
And when
Ernst Zündel
echoes this call for freedom of speech by reposting
of the 66 Q&A, it truly rings hollow. Zündel has helped
distribute a
pamphlet which invites the reader to "Join the worldwide campaign to BAN
SCHINDLER'S LIST!"
Free speech, yes, but only when it's speech he agrees with. If the
IHR is such a staunch defender of freedom of speech, where is their
denunciation of Ernst Zündel?
