Darling of Neo-Nazi and Holocaust Denial web sites

(hat Tip to
Israel Medad)
Barry Chamish is best known for the hundreds of his "articles" about imaginary conspiracies that he writes for
Neo-Nazi and Holocaust Denial web sites (if you think I am exaggerating, take a look at
this) and for his infantile "theories" about the Rabin Assassination (file them
under fiction). He has been peacocking around and celebrating the fact that the Nazareth court ruled two years ago that I "libeled" anti-Semite Neve Gordon, a ruling almost completely
overturned by the Appeals Court this week. Chamish, who is upset that I debunked his "theory" about the Rabin assassination, even set up a pathetic little web site to smear me and show his own support for Neve Gordon's anti-democratic harassment campaign against me.
Chamish believes that anyone who disagrees with his own infantile "theories" must be part of a global conspiracy. In particular he is part of the "911 Truth" cult, which claims that Israel was really behind the 911 attacks on the US, a theory Chamish likes to spread invented by Neo-Nazi kooks of the sort that blew up Oklahoma City, and that the publishers of Foreign Affairs magazine control the world in a giant "Illuminati" conspiracy.
Chamish had previously been repeatedly convicted in Israel of libeling other people. That, by the way, was real libel, not the make-pretend kind to be found in Nazareth Court, under which disagreeing with a leftist pro-terror anti-Semite is "libel."
Well, here is
YNET news on Chamish finally getting his comeuppance:
Is calling rightist a "Shin Bet agent" libelous?

Barry Chamish, owner of several internet websites, was ordered Thursday by the Magistrates. Court to pay extreme right-wing activist Itamar Ben-Gvir NIS 36,000 (about $10,000) for referring to the latter as a Shin Bet agent on one of his sites.
Magistrates' Court Judge Oded Shaham ruled that this statement is libelous in nature, and ordered Chamish to pay Ben-Gvir the aforementioned sum in damages. See
this for rest of story.
