Jean-Marie Le Pen to Face Sanhedrin for Questioning the Importance of the Alleged Jew Holocaust
Old Man Le Pen
So Holocaust denial is illegal in Western Europe.
We all know this.
What we didn’t know – or at least I didn’t – is that it is also illegal to deny the relative importance of the Holocaust.
Jean-Marie Le Pen is being put on trial for just that. Though the old man knew better than to outright deny, he did dismiss it as not the most important thing which has ever happened ever in history, and for that, he must pay, apparently.
Gas Chambers Were Just A Detail Far-Right French Politician Jean-Marie Le Pen To Be Prosecuted Under Holocaust Denial Law
Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder and former leader of France’s far-right National Front party, will appear before a judge for saying that gas chambers in concentration camps were a minor detail of World War II.
In France, it is illegal to deny the Holocaust or any of the established facts surrounding Nazi crimes against humanity. Failure to comply with the law can carry a penalty of huge fines and even jail time. Le Pen’s comments have caused a rift in his party and sparked broader conversations about the tradition of free speech in France.
In response to the charges brought against him, Le Pen defended his comments by saying “I didn’t talk about the number of deaths. I talked about a system. I said it was a detail in the history of the war.”
But that’s the actual and obvious truth of the matter.
So how can he be charged with something he obviously – objectively – did not do?
Well, it looks like they are looking to set a new precedent, where even claiming that Jewish lives are of equal value to non-Jewish lives is a criminal act.
Debates over the limits of free speech have been raging in the country since terrorist attacks on satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo claimed the lives of 12 people in January. However, the law under which Le Pen will be prosecuted, the Gayssot Act, is 15 years old.
The law was passed in 1990, and it makes it illegal to deny the Holocaust or to deny any of the details as they are described under the London Charter of 1945. From the moment the law was passed, it has been highly contested by many in France, a nation whose motto, “Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity), has often served as an international rallying cry for freedom.
In Democracy, each man is divinely endowed with the freedom to be crucified for questioning Jews.
Le Pen told Agence France-Presse Friday that he did not “for one moment” regret his remarks.
Good on him.
It will be very interesting to see how this all plays out.

My response: He didn't "deny," he simply implied goyim lives are of equal value to Jews.
Crucify him ?
Problem is that le Pen is a known racist and holocaust denier. If he says anything about anything he should be locked up just for being le Pen.
That's an interesting
opinion you have. 100% erroneous, but still interesting.
Le Pens response should have been:
There were 55 million civilians killed in WW2 and estimates of over 80 million people total. If you have a problem with me saying that jews were only a small percentage (<10% or .3% if you use the Official International Red Cross numbers), then you have a simple math problem that a 5th grader could help you with.
Are you smarter than a 5th grader?
Oh, that's right, jewish boys don't learn math do they? Well,
that's your problem now isn't it? Neither I nor German 5th graders have such a problem. Don't make your problem OUR problem.
Take responsibility for your own actions like the 60 million Russian civilians that were holocausted under the military leadership of jews, or the 10 million Ukrainians starved to death in the Holodomor, or the Armenian genocide under the leadership of a jew, or the current "War on Terror" that the marxist Neo-con Jews are responsible for.
Like I tried to say, The Holocaust (TM) was just a small side note to the total loss of life. To
DENY that fact is to denigrate the lives of every non-jew that died in that war, or the people holocausted by jews before, after, and during WW2!
Am I being clear?
