1. While happy to use this hurtful smear (“antisemitic”) at random in public, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in fact admits in its internal memoranda that he is not antisemitic, and that this is one of the problems. The Board of Deputies of British Jews makes the same regretful comment — in secret.
2. For a lying newspaper article about an earlier talk given by David Irving at Portland, on October 10, 1994, see elsewhere on this Website.
3. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) sees hooded Klansmen under every bed; the KKK had no part in the Seattle lecture. This claim alone would make the article actionable under English law.
4. Journalist Feit thus reveals the ADL as the source of his (mis-) information. That he knew the content of the legal document shows that he was entrusted with it by those who issued it.
5. As the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the originator of this fresh smear, well knows, the High Court application which Mr. Irving lodged was not an action for libel, but an application for leave to bring a libel action against the Board “out of time”. By deliberately concealing for several years their authorship of the secret libellous report which they had placed on Canadian government files in 1992, the Board of Deputies of British Jews wriggled out of being sued for libel by Mr. Irving in 1996. Since they succeeded with their submission that Mr. Irving should not be given leave to bring his lawsuit against them out of time (they made no attempt to defend or justify their actual libels), the Judge at the London hearing in November 1996 ordered Mr. Irving to pay the costs of the interlocutory hearing. He paid by $12,000 cheque, which the Board’s laweyr’s accepted — and then lost!
   
6. The “attorneys” concerned are the well-known and highly-respected London firm of Mishcon de Reya. They act both for the Board of Deputies of British Jews and for the Atlanta (Georgia) professor of religion, Deborah Lipstadt, in the British High Court lawsuit which Mr. Irving has brought against her for libel. Mishcon de Reya are highly respected for the poetic and literary interests of their leading partner Mr. Anthony Julius, and well-known for having earlier in 1998 billed the trustees of the Memorial Fund of Diana, Princess of Wales, for half a million pounds ($800,000) for attorneys fees for setting up the charitable Diana Fund. Mr. Julius was a member of the board of trustees which selected his firm to do the legal work. The size of his firm’s charge caused an outcry in the London press, and Mr. Julius shortly announced that he was standing down. (Note: The fund’s accountants, a different London firm, simultaneously waived all fees to which they would have normally been entitled.)
