Snowden is sceptical, , about the funding for Mr Irving’s legal battles
An unbeliever comments
I HAVE regularly visited your web site since reading of the Lipstadt/Penguin trial. Frankly, I am not supportive of your position or much of what you have to say, but do agree that you have a right to your opinions and to speak freely of them.
(I believe you would gain credibility overnight, however, if you would dispense with the more egregious comments and devote your website to issues of history to which you claim expertise, rather than trumpeting every conceivable anti-Jewish or anti-Israel tidbit you can find, but hey, that’s your business.)
I wouldn’t waste your time or mine writing to debate the central themes of your site with you. I also know that critical letters are never posted on your site, so I have no illusions that this one will be read by any but you.
Nevertheless, I take time to write now only because of your response to one of your correspondents, Carl Hamilton. He asked whether the Lipstadt appeal (more correctly, your appeal) had reached a dead end.
Your response was
“I ceased to do any more on the Deborah Lipstadt
front than follow that noxious person’s movements and
career, both past and present; no doubt to the annoyance
of my enemies, I have moved on.”
Come now, Mr. Irving! You do your regular readers a disservice. We all know that you posted constant updates on your appellate efforts, not to mention regularly soliciting contributions to fund the fight, until your most recent setback. Why not just admit that you fought until your last breath?
Your response suggests rather clearly that you simply chose to abandon the effort, as though that would somehow cause dismay to your “enemies.” The response is, to be kind, disingenuous.
And I imagine that those who chose to contribute to that fight may be a bit nonplussed to learn that your heart wasn’t in it, even though their hard-earned dollars (or pounds) went into the fighting fund.
