"Holocaust" denier guilty of contempt
A federal court has ruled that a revisionist historian breached previous court orders by publishing offensive material about Jews and the "Holocaust" on a website.
The former president of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, Jeremy Jones, (odd name for a Jew) launched a civil action against Frederick Toben after he published claims on the Adelaide Institute's website that the "holocaust" never happened. The material also implied that Jewish people who challenged "Holocaust" deniers were of limited intelligence. Today Justice Lander has found Toben guilty of wilful contempt of court on 24 out of 28 possible counts. The court will decide his penalty at a further hearing this month. Dr Toben says he does not regret his actions. "If you believe in something and you want to have that freedom to express your opinions then you should be prepared for sacrifices," he said. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...16/2544811.htm |
