Britain – British Holocaust-denier bishop appears in video voicing anti-Israeli views

A renegade British Catholic bishop summoned to trial for denying the Holocaust has appeared in an online video voicing anti-Israeli views and acknowledging that he broke a German law on racial hatred.

In the video on the French site Dailymotion, Richard Williamson responds to questions in French, saying: “Lots of people think that Israel is a legitimate state. That does not necessarily mean it is one.”

In the Dailymotion video posted on Thursday he appeared indoors sitting next to a Christmas tree, talking to Pierre Panet, a French anti-Zionist political activist.

He acknowledged that he had “called into question the gassing of six million Jews” and that to do so was a “crime, according to German law.”
