Greek Protest 2

Real History and the Traditional Enemies of Free Speech The Posted Thursday, October 6, 2005 Index to the Traditional Enemies of Free Speech Alphabetical index (text) Thursday, October 6, 2005 Greek Journalists Association cancels hall booking for David Irving So much for the birthplace of democracy BOWING TO PRESSURE from opposition organisations, the Greek Editors’ Association last night announced that they would refuse to permit British historian David Irving to speak at the

Hall of the Editors Association at their headquarters at 20, Akadimias Street in Athens, Greece, as had been planned for the evening of Tuesday 25 of October 25, 2005, on the grounds that he is a “denier”.

Publisher Iolkos has informed the press of this suppression of free speech in an angry press release. “Let us fight this one through,” Mr Irving has urged the Greek publisher Konstantinos Koridis . “I am not a ‘denier’, this is just the excuse which the international Jewish organisations and left-wing use to silence me.” Unidentified extremists in Athens are threatening violence. “They phoned me,” says Koridis today, “and told me that that they will burn down my office.

The Anti-Nazi Organazation has announced to the press that no public or or other location will be provided to us for the presentation.” The planned presentation of the new Greek Edition of his much praised book The War between the Generals will now go ahead one day later, October 26, at a new location.

Greek newspaper fury whipped up against David Irving’s planned visit (in Greek) Protestations en Grèce contre la visite prévue du négationniste David Irving Free download of War Between the Generals Our dossier on the traditional enemies of free speech Heads-up for our Greek readers: David Irving speaks in Athens this October Reader’s Letter, Thursday, October 6, 2005: ALL Greeks are Greek Orthodox, therefore Christian.

Greece has one of the most homogenous societies in the world, and does not lightly adopt foreign religious ideologies. As Christian Orthodox, Greeks are not partial to Jews, as we are taught that they murdered Christ, and are forever cursed, beyond salvation. In fact the Orthodox Church will allow the marriage and baptism of any non-Greek of whatever race or creed in an Orthodox Church, except a Jew.

I expect that should there be any protest to your visit in Greece, it will be by a bunch of Israeli hooligans flown in from Tel Aviv especially for the occasion. And should they be so bold as to fly their flag and symbols of their religion in Greek public spaces while causing a ruckus, we may witness an interesting, spontaneous cultural interaction.
