Windy Wendy and the Holocaust Deniers

Windy Wendy, right before posting an essay from the Holocaust revisionist Michael Collins Piper today, posted the following on her list of what she calls suppressed stories:

Windy Wendy: "#9. The Holocaust Industry! A very taboo subject and there is a great book on it by the same title written by Norman Finkelstein, whose mother is actually a survivor of a concentration camp. He has been called a "Holocaust Denier", when actually he is just investigating some of the myths and motives behind the Holocaust, like other Holocaust Revisionists, who face severe harassment for their endeavors."

I don't have to remind most Indybay regulars of Windy Wendy's habit of parroting antisemitic canards like the Kosher Tax or the Khazar bit. But now she's come out of the closet in defending Holocaust deniers.

Is it Indybay policy that Windy Wendy remain the editorial board's pet antisemite?

I don't know anything about a Kosher Tax, but I've heard that companies have to pay to have a Rabbi ensure that their products are kosher, and that everything that does, has a little 'U' or a 'K' on it, to show that.

But the question then is, why are people who don't want to eat kosher things forced to pay for that (assuming the company passes along the cost to it's sale cost)?

Do other religions do this with most of the food on supermarket shelves?

I agree that people who have a religious need for certain foods or processes should be accomodated, but then, why should the rest of us have to pay for it? Do Jewish organizations pay for companies to put those labels on their products, or is it the other way around?

I suppose this is now 'anti-semitic' to ask these questions.

Unless you're talking kosher meats, the certification cost isn't by unit, it's by product line. That's why a manufacturer might make different kinds of salad dressing and some is certified kosher and some isn't. If the cost of the certification is small -- and, unless you're talking kosher meats, it is -- then it pays for itself in terms of the profits from the market it opens up for the product, Orthodox Jews who would not otherwise buy that product. Non-kosher customers aren't paying more; the cost for certifying a product is covered (or more than covered) by the profit from sales to the Orthodox customers.

That is, unless you talk to neo-Nazis and Windy Wendy. To _them_ it's a plot to underwrite the Zionist plot for world domination.

She's defending Norman Finklestien. Norman Finkelstein is a Jew. Anybody who attacks someone who's defending a Jew is anti-Semitic. So Gehrig is an anti-Semite.

I will stop being "anti-Semitic" if Jews like gehrig stop being anti-Arab and stop expecting Americans to pay for the racist, anti-democratic, apartheid Zionist Jewish state of Israel and well as stop being anti-equal rights for non-Jewish Palestinians in Palestine-Israel, including all the Palestinian refugees who have the inalienable right to return to their ancestral homeland according to UN Resolutions, International Law and world opinion.

How about it?

I've got a better deal, Windy Wendy. How about you give us a good explanation how, in the space of only a few days, you've (a) posted that link that has now been hidden because of the way it links to Holocaust denial and neo-Nazi sites, (b) posted an essay by a man named Piper who thinks that no Jews were gassed at Auschwitz using Zyklon-B, and (c) write the sentence above in which you appear to be defending Holocaust deniers against some unspecificed "harrassment."

And if it even _remotely_ resembles reality the way it routinely appears to those outside Windywendywonderland, I'll apologize for having interpreted your sentence as being in support of Holocaust deniers.
