The argument isn't over "political correctness" (whatever that's supposed to be), it's about standards of historical scholarship.

The argument is not about political correctness? Hmm! I took a look at the site referred to. When it has become a sign of historical truth to point to rabbinical sites? When has Deborah Lipstadt become a "distinguished" scholar? Didn´t John Keegan describe her as a mediocity, an also ran? In a world where several countries have specifically rescinded* freedom of opinion on one particular genocide, can a trial on that opinion be really objective and neutral, free from politics? I don´t think it can.

*If Angie Kurva Merkel (all possible insults intended) has her way, denying the holocaust in any EU country would be a felony subject to a penalty (up to 3 yrs in prison) that by Finnish standards is the time served by a felon convicted of manslaughter and higher than the time served by average rapists.
