Shame on Germany!

Ernst Zundel sentenced to prison for 5 years for exercising free speech!

The German officials who have imprisoned a human being for speaking his political and historical opinions are the real criminals, not Ernst Zundel.

A court in Manheim, Germany has just decreed that sixty-seven year old Ernst Zundel must be imprisoned for 5 years for peacefully exercising free speech. Zundel, a soft-spoken pacifist who has always condemned violence, dared to offer opinions on the Holocaust forbidden by the German government. The Canadian Jewish Congress applauded the conviction and sentence as have many Zionist groups around the world.

Zundel, a respected artist who lived peacefully in Canada and then in America with his American-citizen wife, Ingrid Rimland Zundel, was jailed in 2003 and deported back to Canada after Jewish groups pressured American immigration to get him out of the United States. Canada imprisoned him under an Orwellian-type of law that declared him a danger to public order. All this simply for writing books and articles that intellectually contested some of the war crime allegations against Germany. Zundel has never been associated with promotion of any kind of violence.

On the contrary, he has been the victim of numerous violent attacks against him. Jewish extremists actually boasted of physical attacks against him and claimed that they burned to the ground his home and art studio. Jewish extremists have even publicly solicited his murder numerous times, but none have been imprisoned or even charged for these clearly criminal acts. (more…)
