Cemetery, on the western outskirts of Wellington.
[...] David
Irving comments: ANY PUBLIC COMMENT from
me at this stage would be superfluous, and
perhaps seen as unhelpful. In private, for my
worldwide circle of supporters however, I
can state that my first reaction is one of
compassion: these people have suffered so
horrendously in History already, and now
this. My second reaction is a
more sober reflection: as readers of this
website will know, 80 percent, yes
eighty percent, of all such
world-wide outrages investigated and
solved by the authorities over the last
few years have turned out to be
perpetrated by disordered members of the
Jewish community themselves. Which brings me to me third
reaction. If that is so, the traditional
enemy of free speech must be taking their
problems in New Zealand very seriously if
they feel the need to fire off both
barrels of their shotgun like this. That
is two cemetaries in as many weeks. Like myself, most
members of the non-Jewish community would
not have the first idea where to find such
cemeteries, or what to scrawl on them.
Time will tell, and I am confident that
the N Z authorities will find, and even
expose, the perpetrators of this nasty
crime. A prophesy: It will not
be long before they fire off the third
barrel, and this time, the people scrawl
not only Sieg Heil, but
IRVING WAS
RIGHT. Yes, that should do the
trick nicely.
