Congratulatory message on occasion of Rosh Hashanah in Persian http://www.roozno.com/28058

Which was especially bizarre considering who Zarif is:

Those expecting a breakthrough from Mr. Zarif might want to consult video of a visit he made to Columbia University in 2006. It shows Mr. Zarif sounding a lot like now-former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Holocaust-denying firebrand that Tehran’s apologists like to portray as an aberration in Iranian politics. At the Columbia event, student Jordan Hirsch, a former Bartley Fellow at The Wall Street Journal, asked Mr. Zarif, “Do you personally believe that six million Jews died in the Holocaust?”

“Well,” answered the ambassador, “I believe a great atrocity was committed in the Second World War. The question that needs to be asked is, What is the crime committed by the Palestinians in that atrocity?” The audience immediately started mocking his reply. “I answered the question,” he insisted. “I said a great atrocity was committed.”

When the students continued to voice their disapproval, the Islamic Republic’s representative invoked the First Amendment. “Do I have a right to freedom of expression? I’m answering,” he said. “If you want to stifle the right of people to freedom of expression, then that’s your problem, not mine.”

Wonder who would have coached these Jew haters into using social media like this? Can't imagine...

Towel Boy just barely acknowledged that the Holocaust took place. Thanks Nachum.

To be fair, he did not explicitly deny the Holocaust, he just made a point about the Palis not having been involved.
