OUR Nation's Capital: nazis demand release of Holocaust-denier zundel !
Edited on Tue Feb-08-05 10:18 PM by diamond14



Their demands were made outside the Canadian Embassy in Washington DC (and other places across America). They thought this would go 'under the radar', but thanks to some great work by American Patriots, a anti-nazi counter-demonstration was held.



The nine neo-nazis represented, among other groups, the National Alliance, and david duke’s organization EURO. Local Virginia nazi, ron doggett, who used to host a public access television program titled 'Race and Reality', helped coordinate this outing with others planned on Saturday with others at consulates across the country.


The racists said they were there to defend Holocaust-denier ernst zündel’s right to free speech, something they say are denied neo-nazis in Canada and Germany, which is where Canada will deport zündel to. One of them felt it important to shout out to the counter-demonstrators, "Freedom of speech, just watch what you say!"


Do you know these nazis???

2. What did this Zundel do?
Other than being disputing facts, what did he do?

If closing your eyes to reality is a crime in Canada, no wonder they are such a clean, RW wingnut-free nation.

If we could arrest people who ignore the truth, the entire Bush Administration would be in jail right now.

4. zundel spews HATE and LIES in Canada...so he'll be DEPORTED to his home

in Germany....where they will take care of him....


Here in America, we tolerate people spewing HATE and LIES and that has torn OUR Nation apart....such spewing also INCITES others to commit violent crimes....

As usual, the Canadians are to be admired for their efforts to STOP hate and lies in their country...wish we could learn something from our fine neighbors to the North....

21. Actually, Zundel already got deported from America
From the county next to me - the county where I was a crime reporter for nearly nine years.

http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=13400443&BRD=1211&PAG=461&dept_id=169689&rfi=6

And, I'm very good friends with the INS agent who busted his ass.

So - see, we still have some decency here in the States.

And, did I mention, this was in the SOUTH?

5. Ernst Zundel
Zundel's crime is Holocaust denial. While that is abhorrent, he was excercising his right to free speech. I don't agree with Zundel's message, but I wouldn't want anyone imprisoned for expressing their views.

13. Saying "Zundel's crime is Holocaust denial" is too simplistic...
...as "Holocaust denial" isn't a crime (although I consider it repugnant).

I suggest that people do their own research on Ernst Zundel and review whatever material they find (especially considering the source). Accepting any single position (yours, mine or someone else's) would be insufficient.

INDEPTH: ERNST ZUNDEL
Ernst Zundel - Profile
CBC News Online | July 30, 2003 Updated Sept. 30, 2004

Born in Germany to a lumberjack and a devout Christian, Ernst Zundel came to Canada at the age of 19. His public profile as a Holocaust denier grew in 1980, with the publication of a pamphlet "Did Six Million Really Die?" Based in Toronto, Zundel's company, Samisdat Publishers, became a mini-empire producing materials supporting his views, including the controversial work - The Hitler We Loved and Why.

In more recent years, he has become a political hot potato to immigration officials in Canada and the United States; after years of being denied Canadian citizenship, Zundel moved to the U.S., where he lived for a few short years before being sent back to Canada. Today, Zundel's future is uncertain. He's in jail facing deportation to Germany – where he's wanted on hate charges – after a Federal Court judge declared him a threat to national security in May 2003.

19. ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is a crime in the USA..that's why WE deported the nazi
Edited on Tue Feb-08-05 10:55 PM by diamond14
back to Canada....


this nazi THOUGHT that the USA would shelter nazis once again...but NO MORE...we deported the vile nazi....and I am PROUD that we did...


http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/zundel/

-snip-

December 2000
The Supreme Court of Canada refuses to hear Zundel's appeal of the 1993 Citizenship and Immigration decision denying him Canadian citizenship.

2001
Zundel moves to Tennessee
after a long-fought battle over his views about the Holocaust. "I will not set foot in Canada again," he vows. The same year, he marries Ingrid Rimland.

February 2003
U.S. immigration officials hand Zundel over to Canadian authorities because he violated the terms of his stay in the United States
. In turn, Citizenship and Immigration Canada files a national security certificate requesting Zundel to be removed from Canada. "They decided that they cut their losses and they are going to ship me off to the fatherland as soon as possible," Zundel said. He is wanted in Germany on hate crime charges.

May 2003
A Federal Court judge declares Zundel a threat to national security (Zundel considers himself a pacifist), and Ottawa moves to deport him to Germany.

September 2004
The Supreme Court of Canada refuses to hear Zundel's challenge against the federal government. Zundel argued that he's being unfairly treated because some of the evidence against him remains secret.

26. We do not have laws against Holocaust denial, we have...
hate crime laws which covers a much larger area than simply Holocaust deniers.

37. Yes. Besides the Hate Crime laws in Canada...
... there are also Immigration laws. Zundel has fallen foul of both.

My earlier post was intended to encourage people to look further into Zundel. Being a "Holocaust Denier" isn't a crime, as we both pointed out. Being an active hate-monger and someone of questionable immigration status both qualify for criminal investigation.

Germany is even more strict on Hate Crimes than Canada. Good on them. They have learned from their past.

(Disclaimer: posted by a happy Canadian Permanent Resident who hasn't been charged with Hate Crimes by anyone)

12. Umm...
I may be in the minority, but Zundel has the right to express his opinion, period. If it's unpleasant, offensive, or whatever; fine, but don't jail him for it.

14. and Canada has the right to deport nazis....


especially nazis inciting their citizens to HATE and KILL...



it's a great example for America...there's quite a few of these vile people that belong back home in their own countries...good riddance to bad rubbish....Homeland Security ought to start looking closely at these nazis and deport them if possible, jail them for any crimes, etc.



I'm all for putting rush limpballs behind bars, for using PUBLIC RADIO WAVES to threaten people, and incite others to KILL...as well as his admitted interstate drug-dealing and money laudering...

28. ROFLMAO!
Herr Zundel has been charged in Germany, when he is sent home, he will be treated like the criminal he is. He is, simply put, a hate monger who has been refused both Canadian and US citizenship and, therefore, will be sent back to his country of origin. It is long past due, imo.

30. Some More Background
This is a good starting point for info.

TIMELINE:
1967
Runs for leadership of federal Liberal party.

2001
Zundel moves to Tennessee after a long-fought battle over his views about the Holocaust. "I will not set foot in Canada again," he vows. The same year, he marries Ingrid Rimland.

February 2003
U.S. immigration officials hand Zundel over to Canadian authorities because he violated the terms of his stay in the United States. In turn, Citizenship and Immigration Canada files a national security certificate requesting Zundel to be removed from Canada. "They decided that they cut their losses and they are going to ship me off to the fatherland as soon as possible," Zundel said. He is wanted in Germany on hate crime charges.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/zundel/

Under present laws he would not be accepted into Canada from the USA. He would be returned to the USA to be delt with there.

33. zundel retains his status as a PERMANENT RESIDENT of Canada
Edited on Tue Feb-08-05 11:38 PM by diamond14


but was DENIED citizenship.....this is why the USA sent the nazi back to Canada, because he entered the USA, as a PERMANENT RESIDENT of Canada...and then 'violated the terms of his stay', so USA deported him BACK TO CANADA....

ADDED BONUS for America...saves us that OVERSEAS airfare...it's a simple bus ride back to Canada....



http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/zundel/

another -snip-

1993
Citizenship and Immigration Canada rejects Zundel's application for citizenship. Zundel appeals the decision on the grounds it doesn't detail how he is considered a threat. He retains his status as a permanent resident of Canada.

35. Throws Me Off A Bit
I was thinking of citizenship. If he were to enter Canada from the USA as a citizen of another country, seeking residency in Canada, he would be returned to the USA, unless he arrived by plane. If he had been out of Canada for longer than 6 months he may have lost his permanent residency. Not sure on this but, one can not maintain permanent residency forever, while out of the country.

it's a GREAT LESSON to all the nazis, coming to America to spew their hate and incite killing....they wear out their welcome and will be deported....bye bye nazi....don't let the door hit you on the way out....


the nazi zundel most recently tried to hide out and spew his hate out of Tennessee...and I am PROUD to announce that the American Government deported zundel back to Canada for ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION....

now Canada will deport the nazi back to Germany, his home, for ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION....

29. In Canada
It is Canadian law. If you want him back in the USA then accept him back and let him speak.

Otherwise find out why he is being deported and held in custody. This is all before any Patriot Act. It has been going on for quite awhile.

32. I don't know those Nazi's but my sister-in-law once dated David Duke!
Once! She is still appalled at her MISTAKE!

I have to admit, growing up in Kansas, I think I dated a KKK member or two! Again, I was young and stupid and raised by liberals so I had no idea people like that really existed. Thank God they got me the heck out of Dodge before I EVER got serious about one. I am now happily married to another Liberal!
