Anti-Semitic blogger, 55, LOSES bid to overturn conviction for Holocaust denial on social media |
(Y) | Alison Chabloz |
An anti-Semitic songwriter who compared Auschwitz to a 'theme park' and mocked the murder of Anne Frank in 'disgusting' songs shared on YouTube today lost an appeal against her conviction.
Alison Chabloz, 53, who arrived at Southwark Crown Court wearing a 'white pride' badge with links to neo-Nazi groups and the Ku Klux Klan, had her case thrown out by a judge.
Chabloz had caused disgust by making music videos with lyrics that claim the Jewish community have exaggerated or made-up claims about the Holocaust.
She also mocked Anne Frank and laughed during her trial last year as the court heard how she mocked Jews being fashioned into lampshades, having their heads shrunk and being turned into bars of soap.
She was convicted of three charges of sending by a public communications network an offensive, indecent or menacing message or material last May.
District judge John Zani had said he was satisfied the material was grossly offensive and that Chabloz had intended to insult Jewish people and was not an attack on free speech.
And today Judge Christopher Hehir upheld the conviction for producing three songs 'grossly offensive to Jews'.
He told the court that although anti-Semitism and holocaust denial are not criminal offences, Chabloz's attitude to the Holocaust is 'highly relevant to her state of mind'.
He said: 'Our factual conclusion, formed with the particular benefit of hearing her give evidence, can be more plainly expressed: she is a Holocaust denier.
'While not a historian Ms Chabloz clearly has an extensive, albeit highly selective interest in history.
'During her evidence, she made rapid-fire reference to a bewildering array of sources, although it was striking how dismissive she was of anything that might contradict the narrative to which she subscribes.
'She is manifestly anti-Semitic and utterly obsessed with what she perceives to be the wrongdoing of Jews and their disproportionate influence in politics, the media and banking in particular.
'In relation to questions involving the Holocaust in particular and Jews more generally she appears to us quite simply to have lost all sense of perspective.
'[The songs] weave together Holocaust denial and hateful attacks on Jewish people generally, by reference to well-known anti-Semitic tropes.'
Gideon Falter, Chairman of Campaign Against Antisemitism, said: 'Alison Chabloz is a remorseless and repulsive antiSemite who has spent years obsessively inciting others to hate Jews, principally by claiming that the Holocaust was a hoax perpetrated by Jews to defraud the world. Other antiSemites who believe that they can abuse the Jewish community online with impunity should take note.'
Judge Christopher Hehir upheld each of the three convictions relating to the three songs.
Two of the songs were performed at a central London hotel for the infamous right-wing group The London Forum. Chabloz was said to have linked the two songs to her blog.
The other was posted to Youtube by Chabloz herself, it was said.
Judge Hehir ruled that the first song entitled '(((Survivors)))' was 'grossly offensive' and made 'tasteless references' to holocaust victims and survivors.
The second song, 'Nemo's Anti-Semitic Universe' was said by Chabloz to relate to an ongoing dispute online with a troll called Nemo.
Judge Hehir again said the song was 'grossly offensive' and 'incorporates tropes about the supposed Jewish love of money'.
The song is also said to describe Auschwitz death camp as a 'holy temple' and a 'theme park' which the judge said was a 'particularly sickening use of words'.
The third conviction, relating to a song posted by Chabloz herself on Youtube called 'I prefer it this way - SATIRE' was similarly ruled by the judge as 'grossly offensive'.
He said: 'It blames Jews for their sufferings, and brands them as thieves, liars and usurers. That is woven into sickening holocaust-related references'.
Chabloz was sentenced to 20 weeks imprisonment suspended for two years and banned from social media for a year.
She had previously supported former Labour party member Ken Livingtone, who quit the party last month following a row over his comments about Hitler.
It emerged that messages she had written online since her conviction had led to her followers posting abusive comments about Judaism and death threats to the trial judge, John Zani.
Westminster Magistrates' Court has previously heard how Chabloz described Auschwitz as 'a theme park for fools' in one of her son
