In June 2007 Japanese Holocaust denier Richard Koshimizu founded the Independence Party of Japan.
The homepage of the party propagates antisemitic and Holocaust denial propaganda, such as: "9-11
was generated by secret Jewdom", "9/11 was a hoax", "the American Jewish government killed its
own people" and "not even one Jew was killed in the gas chambers of Auschwitz"
(http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8249834850366562921).
Koshimizu intends to present his arguments in a public debate on the Campus Plaza in Kyoto;
however, the ADL has requested that the mayor prevent his appearance, as inflammatory speeches
are forbidden on the city-run Plaza.
