A Dutch appeals court has fined the Dutch arm of the Arab European League 2,500 euros for causing “unnecessary offence” publishing a Holocaust-denying cartoon. The cartoon was printed last year, with the AEL claiming to point out double standards In Dutch society. The organization was acquitted of insulting Jews in April, but appeals judges this week overturned the decision, determining that the cartoon was more offensive than could be justified by the debate.
