If they ban it in one or multiple languages and then they miss one, I'd say that's more a sign of incompetence rather than not trying hard. Or at least not trying hard anymore, rather than never having made a real effort. But even if they never tried hard, and intentionally left it unbanned in French, so what? They still censored it in other languages. They don't get any brownie points from me for missing or deciding to allow French publication. 1. Since the Anne Frank book is a a major component of the Holocaust Industry, That's a rather weird statement. The Anne Frank book is a book written by a Holocaust victim. Sure it generates profits for its current publishers but there is nothing wrong with such profits. To the extent there is anything that could be called the Holocaust industry (and I don't think the term is a useful one for anything), it would be the industry of supplying the concentration and death camps in Europe and that industry ended decades before I was born. And since the major effect of the Holocaust Industry has been to encourage Israelis aggression by shielding it from punishment Anne Frank's book has just about nothing to do with protecting Israel, let alone encouraging aggression from it. And since the second biggest victim of Israel impunity has been the people of Lebanon The people of Lebanon have been the biggest victims of the PLO and Hezbollah, both in direct terms, and also because they used Lebanon as a base to attack Israel. would you justify Lebanese censorship No. Even if your premises where not nonsense (and they are), they still wouldn't support censorship of this book and the other publications.
