Anti-Nazi
Published by deviousdiva November 16th, 2007 in Anti-Semitism.I wanted to point out this comment from the anti-Nazi initiative in Greece on this post:
Anti-fascist friends, this is no ordinary trial.
It is not a trial in which a small minority group of Nazi racists are denounced by democratically-minded people and punished by the authorities in some European country.
It is not just a case of one extoller of the virtues of the Third Reich producing a repulsive 1,400-page-long book calling upon people to rid our country of Jews, and it is not just about the fact that the Jews of this country together with non-Jewish anti-fascists take this person to court for extraordinary and blatant violation of international laws against racial prejudice.
It is not about pursuing advocates of racial violence from the fringes of society so distasteful to some theoretical defenders of “freedom of speech”.
No.
This trial is a matter of life and death in respect of political democracy in our country.

You clearly don’t extend the same courtesy of freedom of expression to those who disagree with you.
The freedom of expression argument comes up a lot here, as you might know already. My own tolerance of people who I seriously disagree with, is evidenced in the fact that I allow you to comment here. I do draw the line at violence, abuse or threats against ANYONE.
It is my right as owner of this blog to throw out anyone who breaks my rules. Please read http://deviousdiva.com/moderation-and-banning/ if you are unclear about my stance. Comments which go against these rules WILL be deleted.
No personal attacks. No threats. Stay on topic. People here are more than capable of arguing with you on the issues. I will not, however, allow people to engage in pointless name-calling.
