A show in Tehran, a trial in Mannheim.
After the cartoons came the Conference:-
According to the foreign ministry in Tehran, 67 researchers from 30 countries are attending the conference in Iran, which is home to 25,000 Jews.
Participants include a number of well-known “revisionist” Western academics. American David Duke, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, is to present a paper.
Well, I suppose it was a tough call. Grab the chance to shake hands with Nejad’s funny boys and pontificate in front of the world’s press ... or pass up the one international platform revisionists have been given in sixty years. Maybe the 67 figured (probably wrongly) they had nothing to lose. Maybe they followed the old rogue’s dictum: Publicity, bad. No such thing as. Maybe they lacked the integrity of the man brought in chains to Mannheim District Court last Wednesday, the translation of whose grave testimony that day is now circulating on the web. Here it is (PDF).
Tehran you can forget.

The media always write, “former KKK leader David Duke”, whereas they never write, “former Communist, lapsed Catholic, alcholic and nicotine-addict, Dr John Reid”.
