  14. M. Weber, "After the Irving-Lipstadt Trial," The Journal of Historical Review, March-April 2000, p. 6. Incidentally, by any objective measure of the term, Deborah Lipstadt herself deserves to be considered a "racist." As undisputed evidence presented during the trial established, she publicly opposes Jews marrying non-Jews, and supports Jewish supremacist rule in Israel-Palestine.

During the Feb. 1945 Yalta conference, for example, Churchill declared: "It is no exaggeration or compliment of a florid kind when I say that we regard Marshal Stalin's life as most precious to the hopes and hearts of all of us... I walk through this world with greater courage and hope when I find myself in a relation of friendship and intimacy with this great man, whose fame has gone out not only over all Russia but the world." (p. 1194). In 1943 in Iran, at the conclusion of the 1943 Tehran conference, Roosevelt, Stalin, Winston Churchill, issued a joint statement that concluded: "We leave here friends in fact, in spirit, and in purpose."
