But he said he didn't mean to claim that it was the Mufti that convinced him, when it's exactly what he meant at the time. He threw enough mud though. He did it to make European nationalists believe that he and Israel are on their side, when in fact they despise any goyim.
He was passing the blame to another ethnicity and blur the responsibility which falls under point 5 of Working definition of Holocaust Denial and Distortion, so does that not mean that countries with the Holocaust laws should be asking for him to be sent there for trial? Either way, it makes him a "Holocaust Denier".
I'm not going to pretend like I know what he meant to say, I'm just saying he retracted the statement and clarified what he claims to have meant. Saying he should be charged or tried according to the laws of other countries is pointless unless he actually does it while in those countries.
That's fine, i've just read and seen enough to know what he means, and what he doesn't mean. Ernst Zundel got deported to Germany to stand trial for alleged previous crimes, but I am not sure if he'd done it while in Germany, or just because it's his homeland.
From what I'm reading about the laws that actually apply to him, it doesn't even matter what he means. You're exhausting to me to try to have conversations like this. Jurisdiction and citizenship are huge factors in attempts to extradite people. Germany can't extradite me because I'm over here doing stuff that would be against the law over there. I'm a US citizen in the US so it's okay if I'm breaking German laws that don't apply to me because I'm not doing it there.
The laws in Israel don't seem to apply to him:
"In Israel, a law to criminalize Holocaust denial was passed by the Knesset on July 8, 1986.
Denial of Holocaust (Prohibition) Law, 5746-1986
Definitions 1. In this Law, "crime against the Jewish people" and "crime against humanity" have the same respective meanings as in the "Nazis and Nazi Collaborators Law, 5710-1950.
Prohibition of Denial of Holocaust 2. A person who, in writing or by word of mouth, publishes any statement denying or diminishing the proportions of acts committed in the period of the Nazi regime, which are crimes against the Jewish people or crimes against humanity, with intent to defend the perpetrators of those acts or to express sympathy or identification with them, shall be liable to imprisonment for a term of five years.
Prohibition of publication of expression for sympathy for Nazi crimes 3. A person who, in writing or by word of mouth, publishes any statement expressing praise or sympathy for or identification with acts done in the period of the Nazi regime, which are crimes against the Jewish people or crimes against humanity, shall be liable to imprisonment for a term of five years.
Permitted publication."
...So he wouldn't need to be deported anyway. Yeah I get that, I was just wondering if these Holocaust Laws are an exception.
