Here too is bilge. Kinda extreme. France's Fabius-Gayssot law of July 13, 1990, makes it a crime to "contest" the "crimes against humanity" as defined by the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal of 1945-46. This one-sided law -- which was introduced to the French parliament by Socialist Party deputy Laurent Fabius (a prominent Jewish political figure) and by Communist Party deputy Jean-Claude Gayssot -- is applied selectively only to expressions of skepticism about real or alleged atrocities committed by the losers of the Second World War -- that is, by Germans and their allies -- and only about the wartime treatment of Jews. Newspapers, government officials and human rights organizations in Europe and the United States that normally are quick to condemn restrictions on civil liberties have been silent about France's Fabius-Gayssot law and similar "Holocaust denial" laws in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland and Spain.
