14. That ‘Holocaust Denial’ is the major ‘offence’ which is pursued by the
ECAJ under the Racial Hatred Act.

In relation to the Jewish religion, please consider the following:

between the Jew and the Christians by supplying it with a philosophy
and a metaphysical, rather than a material reason.
9. If this hostility, this repugnance had been shown towards the Jews at
one time or in one country only, it would be easy to account for the
local causes of this sentiment. But this race has been the object of
hatred with all the nations amidst whom it ever settled. Inasmuch as
the enemies of the Jews belonged to divers races, as they dwelled far
