“Dear Sir”David Irving[Photoby Michael Hentz, forThe New York Times]Letter to the EditorSydney Morning Herald To: The Sydney Morning Herald. Attn.: Readers Letters 235-243 Jones Street fax to 612 9282 1640 Broadway, Sydney , New South Wales 2001, Australia For publication:London, February 18, 1998Sir,I WAS angry to read your Editorial’s reckless and hurtful reference to me (Feb. 12) as “the anti-Semitic British historian.”
That a handful of Australian Jews have agitated against my visiting your country does not make me ipso facto an anti-Semite, it makes them anti-Irving.For the record, the most influential American Jewish agency, the Anti-Defamation League, reported secretly in April 1977, after my biography Hitler’s War was published, “Irving is definitely not anti-Semitic.”
Even the Board of Deputies of British Jews admitted in a confidential Intelligence report sent in 1992 to various governments including no doubt your own – it was obtained by me from Ottawa under the Canadian Access to Information Act – that I have many professional friends who are Jewish, and that there is no evidence of any anti-Semitism on my part (other than a dislike of the policies of Israel).(I attach photocopies of the pages concerned).Yours faithfully,David IrvingTo Order Books |
