I24NEWS – ‘Gas chambers were a detail of the war, unless we accept that the war is a detail of the gas chambers’

Veteran far-right French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen will appear in court over comments made in April in which he repeated that “gas chambers were a detail” of World War II.

A source close to the investigation told AFP on Friday that prosecutors had summoned Le Pen, founder of France’s far-right National Front party, a few weeks ago to stand trial for denying crimes against humanity.

The date of his appearance before a Paris court has not yet been set.

“Gas chambers were a detail of the war, unless we accept that the war is a detail of the gas chambers,” the European Parliament member told BFMTV on April 2.

The comments touched off a row with his daughter Marine, who is trying to move the party away from its anti-Semitic and racist image.

Jean-Marie was suspended from the far-right group after his daughter publicly split with him.

However, the elder Le Pen won a legal battle earlier this month when a French court quashed his suspension and ordered the party to “restore” his membership and position as honorary president.

His latest comments were by no means the only time Le Pen has shocked with remarks about the gas chambers.

The first time he made similar comments was in September 1987. He repeated them in 1997 in Germany and then in 2008 and 2009 in the European Parliament.

“It’s an additional persecution … I’m not very surprised,” Le Pen, 87, told AFP, adding that he did not “for one moment” regret his words.

  1. What has happened to the “freedom of speech” and “freedom of press”? Aren’t all the French “Charlie Hebdos”?

  2. He was careful not to say anything that might be used against him as outright “denial.”
    Saying that the gas chamber were a “detail of the war” he is not saying that of the (ahem…) 6 million Jews who were “exterminated” by the 3rd Reich many did not die in gas chambers. He might even counter that the (ahem…) soap manufactured out of the fat of others, the lampshades made of Jewish skin, the shrunken heads were as many details. So he appears to be objecting not to the LIE but to the focus it gets.
    It is pathetic what verbal gymnastics one must go through in Paris (once known as “La cité de la lumière”) to “diss” the Greatest Hoax of the 20th Century while avoiding prison.

  3. So being anti-Semitic is worse than being pro-Semitic. I would have thought it’s the other way around.

  4. Jews are only oh so “Liberal”, and “Progressive”, until one takes on there power,and schemes.
    Le Pen should quote fellow Frenchmen Voltaire.”To find out who rules you, find out ,who you cannot criticize”.

  5. Actually gas chambers are much more than a “detail,” but not of the war. They didn’t exist until after the war when the allies (most likely Jews) placed them in Auschwitz, Dachau and other labor camps. They have been used to justify stealing Palestinian land for a “Jewish state,” for demanding and receiving hundreds of billions of dollars from Germany and the USA. They have been used as an excuse to allow Israel and Jews to get away with bloody murder. They have allowed Jews to walk into art galleries around the world and claim famous paintings from Europe’s world famous artists (almost none of whom were Jews). They say it was there’s and if any museum disagrees they are immediately viewed as evil. The gas chamber story lie has allowed Jews to become the dominant power in the world. Forget “world power.” They control the world powers.
    Until 1990 the world was told the gas chamber at Auschwitz was the original, that what they were looking at what had been used to murder millions of people. After forty five years the Jewish head of Auschwitz admitted they had been lying to the world, that in reality the so called “gas chamber” was built “after the war.” But now they claimed it was “reconstructed.” That it was restored to how it had been before the Germans modified it. This came to a head when three years earlier the American Engineer and expert on gas chamber technology, Fred Leuchter was asked to give his unbiased opinion on the claim that what was at Auschwitz was used to murder millions of people. He flew to Poland and stated that nothing at Auschwitz could have been used as gas chambers to kill people. That the people operating these so called gas chambers would have killed themselves and possibly blown up the whole labor camp if someone tried.
    Fred Leuchter was considered the foremost expert in the world on gas chamber technology. He’s an American, from the only country that uses gas chambers to execute people. After he gave his testimony at a “holocaust denial” trial in Canada the Jews went after him and destroyed his lucrative career.

    US Holocaust Memorial Museum admitted they lied – that no one was ever “gassed” at Dachau. Read the delicate language they use carefully. I would suggest ignoring the extraneous information he supplies.
