GERMAR RUDOLF, RESISTANCE IS OBLIGATORY
cussed here, as they have little, if anything, to do with opinions. There
can be no doubt that all of my writings for which I am prosecuted fulfill
this criterion, as I have never justified, condoned, or advocated the unlawful
violation of the civil rights of others.
In the table I have added in parentheses that this very criterion absolutely
does not apply to the former terrorists of the German terror organization
“Red Army Fraction” (RAF). The background of this is that
the media, foremost the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, drew parallels
between the trial in this very house against the revisionist Ernst Zündel
and the trials against the RAF terrorists in the 1970s and 1980s. 133 Yet
they really cannot be compared, as the actions of the RAF have been the
exact opposite of peaceful: They were violent, applied despotic arbitrariness
and violence in an extreme way, condoned this, and asked other to
do so as well. That one even dares to compare this with the revisionists’
utterly peaceful dissent merely proves that the minds of these journalists
must be thoroughly confused.
The next entry also applies to trials against revisionists, as criticizing
the dominant historical theories on the Holocaust is illegal only in a
vanishingly small minority of countries in the world. This does of
course raise the question why I should develop a sense of wrong at all,
if what I am accused of is punishable almost nowhere else in the world,
and especially not where I committed these deeds, that is, in England
and in the U.S.
That, too, is in stark contrast to the acts of the RAF, which are punishable
in all nations of the world and which would probably be so in
those hypothetical states as well which the RAF terrorists would have
created, if they had had the opportunity. Therefore the trials against
RAF terrorists were not political trials, as the defendants were not on
trial for their opinions but for violent acts, and therefore the RAF terrorists
have not been political prisoners, as left-wing radicals still claim
today, but violent felons. The RAF terrorists were perpetrators who
kidnapped and murdered people and who planted bombs. The revisionists,
however, are victims, because we are subject to muggings and assassination
attempts, as for instance Prof. Faurisson had to experience
frequently, and it is we who receive parcel bombs and whose houses are
subject to arson, as Ernst Zündel had to experience. 134 It is therefore an
