MEMRI has a report on the reaction of the man who served as the object of Noam Chomsky's flirtation with Holocaust Deniers - Robert Faurisson.
Faurisson: "Unfortunately, it is totally normal. In France, Jewish organizations get whatever they demand. And especially the Conseil Représentatif des Institutions Juives de France (CRIF), headed by former banker Roger Cukierman, who was very instrumental in the campaign against Al Manar."
MNA: "Do you think the Zionist lobby in the U.S. influenced France's decision to ban Al Manar?"
Faurisson: "In France Jewish power is even stronger than in the USA. In France it is our lobby number 1. Nobody dares to speak out against those people because of their alleged 'Holocaust'." ...
...MNA: "Actually, France doesn't respect the rights of its citizens, as it has banned the hijab (Islamic headscarf) in public schools. How do you assess that?"
Faurisson: "Because Jews, in a certain way, are used to treating the French as they treat Palestinians. The difference is that Palestinians refuse to obey the Jews, whereas the French obey the Jews, once more because of the Big Lie of the alleged 'Holocaust,' in which unfortunately they seem to believe.
"The alleged 'Holocaust' of the Jews is the sword and the shield of the Jewish tyranny all over the world. Destroy it!"
Faurisson is the man Chomsky once called, a "relatively apolitical liberal." For much commentary on Chomsky and the Faurison affair, see Oliver Kamm's blog. Start here and follow the links.
