MY OPINIONS:

Some/many members of British academia had/have voted to exclude
Israeli scholars, based on alleged Israeli
persercution of Palestinians.

Note: I also recently read that this declaration has been rescinded or
moderated or something.

The academics REPORTEDLY previously didn't exclude any other academic
nationals from the World except Israeli.

So, if true, that itself is not what I'd call cricket.

Some of these exclusionary voting academics are British Jews, though
that doesn't cut ice.

So far as a British professor's dissent at an Auschwitz meeting re the
Shoah.

The Red Cross has finally within past year or so been authorized by
all the European countries to release all the reportedly millions of
Holocaust pertaining documents.

From what I've read: The Red Cross is nevetheless stalling, not
releasing its documents in custody:

Apparently the Red Cross is acting in some bad faith, or why would it
delay?

SOME countries are informally APPARENTLY still covering their
participation/shame/embarrassment.

Perhaps that's something to protest here on the internet and in an
underground.

The documents are APPARENTLY so matter-of-fact yet overwhelming
indicting there are PERHAPS rational fears of angry European uprisings
in reactions.

ALLOW THOSE DAMNE FILES BEFORE THE WORLD, as history now and forever
demands it.

I personally don't mind a maverick professor's dissenting thesis
apparently about the technology(ies) of alleged murder machines.

That's what a good university's reason-to-be is----not production of
well-trained automatons & ameners.

Meanwhile, to those flirting with denialism: Here are some responses
that I accept as true enough.
