Beirut Conference 2001
Revisionist conferences always attract a lot of attention, but the conference on "Revisionism and Zionism" in Beirut, Lebanon, became a focal point for adversaries around the world. The IHR was not the sponsor of this conference, but it provided web-based information, on behalf of the conference organizers.
