It's time to check out
Anthony Hall. Can anyone here do a little research for clear instances of Anthony Hall supporting stances or persons that are clearly antisemitic, or even denying the real holocaust?
The reason I want to put the spotlight on him is two articles on Craig McKee's blog:
- B’Nai Brith smear Campaign against Anthony Hall reflects worsening Threat to Academic Freedom (by Craig McKee, October 12, 2016) - it tells us that "Hall has been suspended without pay from his tenured teaching position at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada " - this was confirmed and explained by the university the same month. Apparently, according to information in this article by another ULeth professor, by February 2017, this suspension was sort of semi-revoked while still under further investigation. Note the three comments below the latter article! One by Hall himself, the last by an ardent and longtime critic of his, who accuses him of holocaust denial, but without refering to evidence.
- Left Forum caves to Pressure: Bans Panels amid claims Speakers are Holocaust Deniers, Anti-Semites. It reports Hall as one of several panelists excluded from a, I suppose, leftist organizations event due to the anti-semitic views some of them are known for*.
So I see that Hall has substantially been accused of holocaust denial and anti-semitism, but it doesn't seem to rise to a level to make it legally relevant enough to have him removed from teaching in Canada. Still, it could be substantial enough to call him an anti-semite in the context of our debates here.
But I wish to see evidence.
[ETA]Hall skirts dangerously close to endorsing holocaust denial outright in this interview with "Muslim Press":
Tenured Suspended Prof. Tony Hall, The Latest Victim of Zionist Thought Police in Canada[/ETA]. I learn from it that he writes for Iran's Press TV and has attended a conference on CTs and other alt history in Teheran.
[/ETA]
* Hall and Kevin Barrett explicitly mentioned; since this also involves Richard Gage of AE911Truth, I will expand on this incident in a separate post
