Holocaust denier jailed for three years

[Pharaoh]

From what I've read about David Irving, the only thing he denied was that gas chambers were used to kill Jews. He doesn't deny that the Nazis killed Jews but he doesn't believe that Hitler ordered the systematic extermination of the Jews in gas chambers.

It looks to me like he's more objecting to how the German people have been portrayed by other historians, rather than being anti-Jewish. He was a very well respected historian up to about 20 years ago and this jailing is just going to make people wonder what exactly he's written.

Anyway, thank God for the Internet, if it wasn't for that then saying we've got freedom of speech would just be a joke.
