Oxford Union told to review holocaust denier invite
2 hours, 38 minutes ago

The head of Britain's Equality and Human Rights Commission asked Oxford University's debating society on Sunday to review its decision to invite holocaust denier David Irving to speak at a free speech forum.

British historian Irving will be a speaker at Monday's event, which has been organized by the Oxford Union's inner debating chamber, as will British National Party leader Nick Griffin.

"People have died for freedom of speech," the EHRC's head Trevor Phillips, told the BBC on Sunday. "They didn't fight and die for it so it could be used as a silly parlor game."

.. Thanks for this series of articles you pulled together -

... I have always found it so disturbing that America has been in denial over the Armenian Holocaust .. and that if Americans could see that this denial is absolutely no different than what they get so enraged about regarding The Holocaust Deniers .. this has gone on forever .. and if I remember correctly - there is more American denial over other genocides - holocausts , whatever you wish to call them - ...."crimes against humanity" .. certainly no different than what 'some ' nazis were tried & convicted for - dare I say - even & especially, currently - Iraq - which of course, we really do not have an accurate count of just 'how many have been killed ' -

Just as nazi Germany effected/infected the whole world - we now openly join them - yes - the names & groups are different - but the crimes against humanity are the same . What disturbs & depresses me . the most ... is that these moves have been going on for such a long time - and that the majority of people are so blind to it ... just as I was, until you educated me, as to even Carter - o.kaying the attack on Afghanistan in the late 70s, early 80's - knowing very well - that a way of life & civilization would be all most destroyed . ,,

Actually - this all overwhelms me - mainly due to the fact that a solution to these horrors seen impossible - and even if all the countries took responsibility for all their atrocities - what then ??? .. utopia .. ?? .. we all know better than that ..& we all know this will not happen - especially by the US.

The above piece - about Oxford - being 'asked' to reconsider inviting the 'Holocaust Denier' to speak - provoked all these thoughts, along with & most importantly having read what you posted earlier ....The Armenian Denial of just about everything - starting with the American Natives - has been going on in our country for longer than I am alive - yet - we persecute others for the exact same delusional thinking ... ah .... ;) .. What a GREAT DAY is it to be in AMERICA .. ;) .. !!! .. . now - I will go back to 'simple chit - like doing the morning dishes ..
