Romania has Banned Denial of the Jew Hoax Twice

Last week, at the behest of American Jews, the Romanian government pushed through legislation outlawing the “denial” of history’s greatest hoax: the lampshading of sixty trillion Jews by Adolf Hitler.

As it turns out, this isn’t the first time they’ve made it illegal to question the Jew’s stupid lies about the events of WWII.
Washington Post:

In 2002, Romania’s government pushed through legislation, known as Emergency Ordinance No. 31/2002, that stated that public denial of the Holocaust could be punishable by up to six years in prison. The ordinance had been created, in part, as a reaction to a growing movement to rehabilitate Gen. Ion Antonescu, a pro-fascist dictator who had overseen the deaths of about 280,000 Jews and 11,000 Roma people during the war — more than any other country except Germany. Antonescu was executed as a war criminal in 1946.

“Someone is denying that zillions of Jews were turned into soap and lampshades by Hitler – I’m declaring a state of emergency and forcing through legislation to shut it down.”

In 2003, Romania’s Ministry of Public Information even told the Associated Press: “We firmly claim that within the borders of Romania between 1940 and 1945 there was no Holocaust,” though the statement was swiftly withdrawn.

In response to international criticism from Jewish groups, Romania’s government, then led by the center-left Social Democratic Party (PSD), drew up the ordinance. In 2005, the country set up an institute, led by Nobel winner Elie Wiesel, to examine Romania’s role in the Holocaust. Despite these moves, there were concerns from a variety of groups that there had been little actual change. As early as 2002, groups that monitor anti-Semitism in Romania warned that Emergency Ordinance No. 31/2002 “lies forgotten in the drawers of the Parliament commissions.” A report from the Wiesel institute published a few years later noted that “Holocaust denial literature continues to be published and sold freely.”

Free speech? Not on Elie’s watch.

In democracy, “free speech” means selling gay porno to kids. It has nothing to do with being able to hold your own opinions about alleged historical events.

Paul Shapiro, director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, says part of the problem was that the 2002 ordinance was “vague” and couldn’t stop groups from denying the Holocaust or publicly using the symbols of World War II fascists. Another major issue was a disagreement in Romania over what constituted Holocaust denial. “Most Romanians believe the Holocaust happened, but many still think Romanians did not perpetrate it,” Liviu Rotman, a historian at the University of Bucharest, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency last year. “To them it was the Hungarians or the Germans, but never Romanians, despite a wealth of evidence.”

Far-right Romanian politicians attempted to change the wording of the 2002 ordinance so it referred only to the acts committed by Nazi Germany. Even mainstream politicians tripped up: In 2012, Dan Sova, a spokesman for the PSD, said in a TV interview that “no Jew suffered at the hands of Romanians” during the Holocaust, despite the findings of the Wiesel commission clearly stating otherwise. Sova was sent to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to learn about Romania’s role in the Holocaust.

If Elie said it, you’d better believe it. This guy is a veritable fountain of factual information. Facts just seep from the man’s pours like sweat on a scorchingly hot summer day.

Last week’s amendment was drafted with the help of the D.C.-based museum and Wiesel’s commission. Shapiro feels that it represents a true shift in the nation. Noting that, unlike the 2002 ordinance, the 2015 law cleared parliament, Shapiro says “it really is quite striking” because not so long ago Romania “could easily have been labeled a total denial country.” The new law not only specifically outlaws the use of fascist symbols from World War II, but it also makes clear that Romania’s role in the Holocaust should be acknowledged.

You not only have to admit that Hitler did it, goyim – you must admit you helped him.

Or you must go to prison.

It’s freedom.
