Yes, Stephen Sizer did forward emails written by 9-11 conspiracy theorists and Holocaust deniers

In a new comment on The Spectator website, Stephen Sizer claims:

I have never knowingly, to use her [Melanie Phillips’] words, “given interviews to, endorsed or forwarded material from American white supremists and Holocaust deniers”.

31st March 2006: Stephen Sizer forwarded an email entitled ‘Thought Cops Tell Evangelist No More Talk of Israel on Air’ written by 9/11-truther Michael Collins Piper, in defence of Holocaust-denier Dale Crowley (for more on Sizer and Crowley, see here).

June 19th 2008: Stephen Sizer forwarded an email entitled ‘US Government Condemns Unintentional Anti-Semitism’ taken from the website of Jeff Rense.

In this email you can read:

The state department needn’t lecture evangelical Christians against possibly assisting Israel’s enemies. At least a century ago, evangelical leaders anticipated the state department’s warning. Today, evangelicals reflexively honor the code that, no matter how true an unflattering fact or opinion about Jews may be, it will not be repeated. As a result of a century of self-censorship, tens of millions of evangelicals live in a virtual iron curtain of exclusion of truth about Jews, Judaism and Israel. Taught to see, hear, and speak no evil of Israel, they subsist on a religious and political diet of Zionist-approved pablum. The magnitude of truth that has never been allowed to reach them is encyclopedic.

21st June 2008: Stephen Sizer forwarded an email entitled ‘Israeli Threat to Messianic Jews’, and drew attention to a commentary written by Holocaust-denier Michael A. Hoffman II.

In this email you can read:

Orthodox Judaism is distinguished by its dictatorial tyranny over the mind of man. The totalitarian control exerted during the Communist revolution in Russia had Talmudic roots. No iota of deviation from the Oral Law is permitted, including any nostalgia for Jesus Christ, who is regarded as an idol who practiced sorcery and is now in gehenna boiling in his own feces. What is instructive about this AP article is the fact that it showcases the Israeli penchant for violence — using bombs, book-burning and arson against any who deviate, however minutely, from the dogma of Judaism or the Israeli state.

Judaism considers western civilization to be Edom and despises it with far greater rancor than even Muslim fundamentalists. The current alliance between the West and the Israelis and rabbis, is very tenuous and temporary, predicated on the denial of New Testament doctrine and the transformation of an erstwhile Christian western civilization into a collective golem that bombs and fights Muslims for the benefit of the Israelis.

When this proxy function is no longer needed, the Israelis will dump the West in Red China’s lap and proceed on their supremacist path as the self-appointed judge of the entire world. The reconstituted Sanhedrin court in Tiberias is one harbinger of this masterplan, aided and abetted by powerful “Christian” allies like Senator McCain, President Bush and Supreme Court Justice Scalia, among tens of thousands of other “conservative” golem in the top ranks of the American government, military, media, culture and business.
