Italian Police silence hate site

Italian authorities have taken down an antisemitic hatesite which listed the names of scholars who had signed a petition against boycotting Israel. The site incorrectly stated that all of the signers were Jewish.

Holocaust Denial up worldwide in 2007

It's not clear to me that it was significantly up over 2005, but there's more:
The annual report, "Holocaust Denial: A Global Survey - 2007," published by the Washington-based David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, found that Holocaust-denial activity was up worldwide, following a drop in 2006 due to the imprisonment in Austria of leading denier David Irving.

Curious that the arrest and release of a single individual would lead to noticable changes in Holocaust denial worldwide. Via Deborah Lipstadt.
