- I must admit that I am involved with the Pls solidarity
movement for more than a few years and I find it shocking that it is always
'socialist Jews' who try to decide who has the right to talk and who must
be silenced. I ask myself what stands behind this clear tendency to dominate
every possible discourse...... This 'freedom of speech' issue is one big
nonsense!!! In fact, I want to hear Netanyahu as much as I want to hear
Zundel. If you want to win you better know your enemy inside out! I must
admit that I learned a lot from reading Netanyahu and Zundel is on my future
reading list. Following what I read so far about Zundel, he has something
to tell us about WW2. Whether we adopt his political view is a different
issue. And I assume that no one on this list is an antisemite or a fascist.
-
- Clearly, my take on the subject is very simple, let everyone
talk freely. Let Netanyahu talk, let Zundel talk, let people make up their
minds.
-
- We have nothing to be afraid of, Justice is in our side.
-
- Peace.
