Irving
isn't a denier, says Oxford paper 26/10/2007 By Rachel Fletcher AN Oxford student newspaper has
defended an article which claims David
Irving no longer denies the
Shoah. Articles in the October 12 and 19 editions of
Cherwell, an independent publication for
Oxford students, describe Mr Irving as a
"controversial historian". The October 12 story
states: "Irving was imprisoned in Austria in 2006
for Holocaust denial [No
it wasn't], although at his trial he
recanted his views and is now absolutely without
doubt that the Holocaust took
place." David
Irving comments: | ALL those nice folks
are now getting into a real tangle, which
is what I wanted. Anybody who says
that nothing happened to the Jews in WW2
is a mindless idiot, and quite a few of
them have been screeching at me
recently. Anybody willing to buy
the whole $6million cargo of soap-tablets
without opening at least one is equally
naive. The truth, as always, lies
somewhere between. I once said that getting
the truth is an exponential curve: getting
the first ninety percent of the facts is
easy; the next five percent costs that
much again; the next one per cent, that
much again, and so on. Without ever actually
reaching it, you gradually approach the
straight line of What Really Happened and
Why, despite all the efforts of those with
vested interests either way -- the Jews,
the circuit judges, the moneygrabbers, the
journalists, the anti-Semites, and the
rest -- to skew it. It is the hunt for Real
History, and that is what I have been
engaged in for forty years now. |
INCIDENTALLY I have sent a warning letter
to the Birmingham Post. If any
other newspaper has the $13 million to
chuck away that Deborah Lipstadt's
Hollywood friends had, let's see them risk
it. |
A later article reported the Student Union's
motion condemning the Oxford Union's invitation to
Irving and British National Party leader Nick
Griffin to take part in a debate on free
speech. It said: "For over a decade,
Irving has publicly stated that he believes the
Holocaust did occur." It quotes Irving describing
those who call him a denier as "mindless
idiots". Editors Pete Wright and Sophie
Manning refused to print a correction and they
rejected accusations made by students that they
were helping to revive Holocaust denial, stating:
"Cherwell contained no such views, editorial
or otherwise". They said they were not intimidated by Irving:
"We are free to decide our editorial stance without
interference from outside individuals or
organisations, but as a student newspaper with
limited resources, we cannot fight lengthy legal
cases." Noting that Cherwell subscribes to the
codes of the Press Complaints Commission, they said
they would not print anything "likely to lead to
defamation proceedings". -
