rre Blais smoothed the way to expel Zündel, 65, on the grounds that he is a "white supremacist hatemonger" who poses a threat to national security.

Zündel is slated for deportation to Germany, where he faces immediate arrest and prosecution for challenging The Holocaust® myth, which is a criminal offense in the puppet republic.

No appeal is possible under the controversial national security certificate procedure, meaning Zündel could be on a plane to his native Germany at any time.

"He will be picked up immediately and then arrested," a German official, who requested anonymity, said Friday.

The Zionist judge called Zündel a Hitler sympathizer and a danger to society. In a 64-page decision, he condemned the revisionist dissident for his "extremist neo-Nazi views."

"He tried, by all means possible, to develop and maintain a global network of groups that have an interest in the same right-wing, extremist, neo-Nazi mindset," Blais wrote.

'He has the wrong views'

"Mr. Zündel's activities are not only a threat to Canada's national security, but also a threat to the international community of nations," the judge wrote.

Jews hailed the judge's decision and expressed the hope that deportation would be quick.

"We are consulting with the German Embassy in order to ascertain how soon they will accept Zundel back to his native country," said Frank Dimant, executive-director of B'nai B'rith Canada.

Zündel supporter Paul Fromm, director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression, expressed a different opinion. He said he was "bitterly disappointed" by the ruling, adding there was no evidence linking Zündel to violence.

"We're not dealing with a man who's a terrorist. He has the wrong political views," Fromm said from Winnipeg.

"That's a shocking departure from what most Canadians think of when they think of a terrorist."

Zündel, a longtime resident of Toronto, moved to the United States in 2001 and was trying to gain U.S. citizenship. He was arrested at his home in Tennessee on a minor visa technicality and deported to Canada in February 2003.

Despite his stay of four decades in Canada, during which he has had frequent legal and human rights battles, Zündel was never able to convert his landed immigrant status into citizenship.

The Canadian dissident has long argued that the so-called Holocaust was a blood libel against the German people and non-Jews generally, and that Jews have used the alleged atrocities as a way to extort money from their victims.

Solitary Confinement and Secret Proceedings

During the last two years Zündel has been kept in solitary confinement in a Toronto jail under a national security certificate. In keeping with the security certificate process, much of the evidence at his hearing was heard in secret and was not accessible to the defense.

Zündel's detention under controversial provisions that allow for indefinite detention has prompted several rallies in his support, including some in recent weeks.

"Mr. Zündel expected this result," his attorney, Peter Lindsay, said after visiting his client in jail Thursday. "He didn't think he was going to get a fair shake."

Lindsay said that while representing the marginalized and unpopular is a lawyer's highest calling, it was a horribly disillusioning ordeal.

"I will never, ever do another security certificate case," he said. "A lawyer can play no meaningful role in the face of secret evidence. The lawyer's only role is as a fig leaf, to make the process look acceptable."

"He won't be asking for a stay," Lindsay told The Canadian Press on Friday. "This is an unfair process. Everyone has turned their backs on him."

According to Lindsay, the courts have had numerous opportunities to remedy the "unfairness that he has been subjected to and they haven't."

Moreover, Lindsay said, Immigration officials aren't willing to let the top court decide whether his client's allegations of judicial bias are well-founded.

An Immigration Canada spokesperson said the department planned to deport Zündel to his native Germany as soon as possible. B'nai Brith Canada, meanwhile, has demanded that he be deported immediately.

"He could be gone tomorrow," said Bernie Farber, executive director of the Canadian Jewish Congress. "All I know is, it's going to be quick. Canadians can breathe easier now."
