[Images added by this website] But it does at least partially answer the question, 'Why us?' An Israeli Literary Agency writes to David Irving: THE DEBORAH HARRIS AGENCY   March 1st, 2009 [Omitted: Dear] Mr Irving It was with great astonishment that I realized that the David Irving signed on the letter I received is, indeed, the infamous Holocaust denier. Of course I am well aware of your activities and writings, although I have not read any of your works. From a professional point of view, I see no market for your books in our country, and I very much doubt that any Israeli publisher would want to invest resources in translating your works into Hebrew. Local academics that require familiarity with your research and your interpretation of history will no doubt be able to obtain such knowledge from the English books. The few others, who you claim have been besieging you with requests for translations, will have to manage without the help of our agency -- although I very much doubt that Israeli lay readers would want to spend time and money on books of yours. As the representatives in Israel of Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel's works (right), the diaries of Victor Klemperer, other diaries from concentration camps and ghettos, the Otto Frank files, the Anne Frank House publishing arm, and of dozens of other books, agencies and publishers who deal with the Jewish Holocaust of WWII, I do not see how our agency could possibly take on representation of you as an author alongside these. I still can not comprehend the chutzpah (this JEWISH word you surely know) of you [sic: your] writing to ask for agency representation in Israel, the Jewish state where tens of thousands of Holocaust survivors are still alive to tell. Nor do I understand why you'd want to do business with those you name "traditional enemies of the truth". Lastly, on a personal note: I would not even consider working with a man who violates the memory of my grandmother's sisters who perished in the Holocaust at a young age, supposedly of natural causes, as you repeatedly preach about the death camps. Obviously, my revulsion is shared by numerous individuals -- not necessarily Jews -- and even by countries who have declared you persona non grata. I shall not end with the customary "best of luck in all your endeavors", but with the hope to never see [sic] your works in print in the Hebrew language.

And how odd: If I were to discriminate against you as a Jew, I would be called an antisemite. (I don't, and I'm not). Your letter shows that you as a Jew discriminate against me. I am at a loss for what to call you. But it does at least partially answer the question, "Why us?"   Ori Golan in The Sydney Morning Herald: Irving tries to enter Israeli market
