Assemblyman Dov Hikind
(l.) and writer David Irving.
Brooklyn assemblyman Dov Hikind has
hit Holocaust denier David Irving where it really hurts - in the wallet.
When Hikind discovered that Irving was accepting American Express
payments for tickets to his ongoing book tour, the lawmaker drafted a
letter urging the company to "rescind Mr. Irving's merchant agreement."
A dozen elected officials signed it.
American Express complied.
"David Irving is no longer a merchant on the American Express network,"
company spokeswoman Christine Elliott said Tuesday.
Hikind, whose parents survived Nazi concentration camps, applauded
American Express for "doing the right thing."
Irving, who is bringing his hate fest to a still-secret spot in
Manhattan on Nov. 14, was angry.
"I think somebody has been lying to American Express," he said.
A British professor who recently served 10 months in an Austrian jail
for violating that country's Holocaust denial laws, Irving says the
number of Jews who went to the gas chambers is overblown
"Please do not refer to me as a Holocaust
denier," an indignant Irving told the Daily News. "I make it clear the
Nazis killed at least 3 million Jews."
Most historians peg the number of murdered Jews at 6 million
BPP COMMENT:
Irving sells out to the Jews by saying the Holohoax was real but the
figures were just a bit muddled and he still gets the same treatment!
