  • the veracity of the Holocaust was directly questioned.

    That's my point. As far as I can see it wasn't. The comment at the meeting was from a Jewish speaker, an anti Zionist activist, not an anti-Semitic activist and certainly not someone who denies the Holocaust happened, he was discussing what the limits of debate should be:

    “This is about free speech, the freedom to criticise and to discuss every issue, whether it’s the Holocaust: yes or no, Palestine, the liberation, the whole spectrum. There should be no limits on the discussion.”

  • There should be no limits on the discussion.

    I think he's definitely wrong on this. You could easily end up sounding like a bigot, and inflaming tensions, if you don't limit what you say according to the context you're in.
