Mahler is also charged with circulating other pamphlets at the party headquarters in 2002 that referred to anti-Semitism as "perfectly normal and a sign of solid mental health."

Addressing the court Friday, Mahler, 68, again denied the Holocaust had happened.

Mahler has appeared in court frequently over the past years for his beliefs. Last year a Mainz court found Mahler guilty of condoning a crime for saying the September 11 attacks were justified and fined him several thousand euros.

1. But meanwhile....in Israel....

a wall is being erected to seperate two peoples...very similar to
apartheid.
Palestinians are confined to refugee camps...their people killed
by laser-guided bombs and tank fire.
Israeli leaders want to "expel" the Palestinian people from their
own land...sounds like ethnic cleansing to me.

So much for taking the moral high-ground... :eyes:

2. they can fine you for saying that about 9/11?

The ACLU would go nuts there.

4. The Germans have some laws

against Nazi like activities that are part of their quest to be readmitted to the human race.

Part of making up for not having all those millions of people who supported the death camps actually having to pay for their crimes against humanity.

5. They're not yet parf of the human race?!?!

Do even people that had nothing to do with it now be held responsible? Oh my what am I reading here. This is just....

7. Let's see

people who reap the benefits of genocide probably should have some responsibility for that genocide.

You know. Like the Bush family or Bayer or Ford or IBM...

9. Or Sharon

and the likud gang...

3. This reminds

me about those saying there are no Palestinians or Palestinian land. Same old bunch, just different origin...

6. Funny thing

Neither you nor anybody else was able to say what a "Palestinian" is or what "traditional Palestinian Homeland" is.

Of course, you'll almost certainly duck the question just like everybody else did because neither one existed prior to the 1960s as you also almost certainly know...

8. There you go

just a prime example of what I talked about...
