UNITED NATIONS -- Canada will boycott Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech at the United Nations on Wednesday, saying his outbursts about the Holocaust and Israel are "shameful." Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon will be at the world body to attend the opening of the UN General Assembly's annual debate, but officials signal he and other members of the Canadian delegation will vacate the Canadian seats when the Islamic republic's President approaches the podium. Walking out of the chamber is seen as a strong diplomatic show of disgust at the UN -- and since the chamber is generally packed on the first...

Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, blamed "them Jews" in an interview this week for keeping him from speaking to the president, but later apologized for the comments. Wright, the former pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, said he hasn't spoken to Obama since he became president. "Them Jews ain't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office," Wright told the Daily Press of Newport News following a Tuesday...

HAMPTON, Virginia - President Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is blaming "them Jews" for keeping him from speaking to the president. Wright, the former pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, said he hasn't spoken to Obama since he became president. "Them Jews ain't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office," Wright told the Daily Press of Newport News following a Tuesday night sermon at the 95th annual...

The media is a abuzed about this, and the lefty blogs are acting as though this being some nuance of the right. Wrong. Let’s not forget that Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, both antisemitic and neither considered spokesmen for the right. But after some research it appears the shooter, James Von Brunn is in fact - despite the protestations of the Kos Kids - a registered democrat from Maryland. So much for the “Right Wing Conspiracy”. Fact is that most of the Holocaust Denier crowd is from the left. Many of the groups follow the writings of Naom Chomsky, the...

James Von Brunn’s writings don’t sound very “right-wing.” On June 10, the nation tragically witnessed a memorial dedicated to commemorating an atrocity become the site of yet more death. Just before 1 p.m., longtime neo-Nazi James Wenneker Von Brunn entered the Holocaust Museum on the National Mall and opened fire in an attempt to complete the Final Solution his hero had left tentative, an omission Von Brunn dubbed “Hitler’s biggest mistake.” As former Defense Secretary Bill Cohen wandered the museum grounds, Von Brunn killed Stephen T. Johns, a black security officer, then was shot himself. As of this writing, the...

President Obama seemed visibly moved during his trip to Buchenwald the other day. "More than half a century later, our grief and our outrage over what happened have not diminished." Obama said after witnessing the crematory ovens, barbed-wire fences, guard towers and the clock set at 3:15, marking the moment of the camp's liberation by the U.S. Army in the afternoon of April 11, 1945. To this day, there are those who insist the Holocaust never happened," Obama said. "This place is the ultimate rebuke to such thoughts, a reminder of our duty to confront those who would tell lies...

Pope Benedict XVI will travel to Ramallah during his inaugural trip to Jerusalem, where he will meet the president of the Palestinian National Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, and pay a visit to the Aida refugee camp. The details, released yesterday by the Vatican, form part of a six-day tour that will see the pontiff meeting key figures from across the political and religious spectrum. His itinerary features stops at the Western Wall, the Dome of the Rock on Temple Mount and the Church of the Nativity. He will also greet faith leaders - including the grand mufti of Jerusalem and the...

Germany To Iran: Stop Lying About Holocaust, It's Fact By Joel Leyden Israel News Agency Jerusalem --- February 21, 2009...... It's my country, my history and my nation's past collective crime. These were the brave words behind former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder statement in Iran today when he declared that the "Holocaust is a historical fact". Schroeder was in Iran speaking to the Iran Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Teheran. Schroeder added that it did not make sense to deny "this unparalleled crime for which Adolf Hitler is responsible." The former Germany leader met with Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad...

Responding to global outrage, especially in Pope Benedict XVI’s native Germany, the Vatican for the first time on Wednesday called on a recently rehabilitated bishop to take back his statements denying the Holocaust. Late last month, the pope revoked the excommunication of four schismatic bishops, including British-born Richard Williamson, who in an interview broadcast last month denied the existence of the Nazi gas chambers. A statement issued on Wednesday by the Vatican Secretariat of State said that Bishop Williamson “must absolutely, unequivocally and publicly distance himself from his positions on the Shoah,” or Holocaust, which it said were “unknown to...

Pope Benedict XVI's decision to rehabilitate Holocaust-denier Bishop Richard Williamson back into the Catholic Church has been heavily criticised - but does the Vatican really know the extent of Williamson's outrageous beliefs? Williamson (68) was excommunicated from the Catholic Church in 1988 and has now been rehabilitated by Benedict XVI. He is currently in the priest seminary of the ultra conservative Society of St. Pius X, in Argentina, hidden behind thick walls lined with barbed wire. People around the world are now asking themselves - how could the Pope rehabilitate this madman?

(ANSA) - Vatican City, January 28 - Pope Benedict XVI acted quickly on Wednesday to counter a threat from the Chief Rabbinate of Israel to indefinitely sever relations with the Vatican over his decision to lift the excommunication for a traditionalist bishop who continued to deny the existence of the Holocaust. The move was announced by the Chief Rabbinate director general, Oded Weiner, who also said that a March 2-4 meeting in Rome with the Catholic Church's Commission for Religious Relations with Jews had been cancelled. At the center of the dispute is British-born Bishop Richard Williamson, one of...

It saddens me to say this. I am a fan of Sean Hannity, but Sean Hannity is a HYPOCRITE. He bashes President Obama for wanting to have discussions with Iran and gives as his reasons that Iran denies the Holocaust and wants to destroy Israel. Yet on the first week of his new show who does he have as a guest ? Pat Buchanan a Holocaust denying, Israel hater, who believes that Israel was behind 9/11....

From today's Iran News Round Up, and translated by Ali Alfoneh, here is Ahmadinejad's message to the "Holocaust, the Holy Lie of the West" held at Sharif University in Tehran: "A brief review of the events after World War II shows that the Holocaust issue - with the dimensions they define for it - is an excuse to continue dominance and expansion of influence of the victors, especially America and Britain in the international arena. The illegal Zionist regime is one of the results of the Holocaust issue, despite the fact that many people of the world engaged in the...

Appearing on Larry King Live at the end of September when he was in New York to speak at the United Nations, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad returned to one of his favorite tropes. "Let's assume (the Holocaust) happened, the extent of which everyone is speaking of," Ahmadinejad preached, attempting to pin Israel's legitimacy as a nation to an event he doesn't believe actually occurred. "If the crimes were committed in Europe, why should the Palestinian people be victimized as a result?" Let us assume for a moment that Israel's legitimacy is tied to the Holocaust, to the extent Ahmadinejad is...

Muslim And Far-Right Extremists Join In Baltimore To Decry 'Jewish Zionist Power' New York, NY, August 19, 2008 … A small Muslim organization that promotes anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial recently played host to a gathering in Baltimore that featured speeches by prominent domestic extremists. According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the gathering is just the latest example of the "burgeoning relationship" between far-right and Muslim extremists in the United States. The "International Islamic Conference" held in a Baltimore hotel on August 16 was organized by a small Muslim group called Jamaat al-Muslimeen (JAM), which actively promotes anti-Semitism and...

Tehran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that Israel would "be soon swept away" from the Palestinian Territories by the Palestinians. It is the second time within less than three years that the Iranian president predicted the eradication of the Jewish state. The first time was in 2005 when Ahmadinejad hoped that Israel would be eradicated from the Middle East map. "This terrorist and criminal state is backed by foreign powers, but this regime would soon be swept away by the Palestinians," Ahmadinejad said in a press conference in Tehran. Referring to worldwide celebrations for the 60th anniversary of...

(IsraelNN.com) Hamas-run television in Gaza broadcast a dastardly new version of Holocaust denial on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day – claiming the Jews carried out the genocide to rid themselves of the “disabled and handicapped” among them. The show, billed as part of the Islamist terror group’s educational programming, conveyed the message that the Holocaust was actually a Zionist plot, aiming to both eliminate handicapped Jews and at the same time to make “the Jews seem persecuted” in order to “benefit from international sympathy.” On the program, Amin Dabur, head of the Palestinian Center for Strategic Research, explained that...

The invitation was on creamy stationery with fancy calligraphy: The Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran "requests the pleasure" of my company to dine with H.E. Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The dinner is at the Intercontinental Hotel — with names carefully written out at all the place settings around a rectangular table. There are about 50 of us, academics and journalists mostly. There's Brian Williams across the room, and Christiane Amanpour a few seats down. And at a little after 8pm, on a day when he has already addressed the U.N., the evening after his confrontation at Columbia, a...

"If the root causes of 9/11 are examined properly — why it happened, what caused it, what were the conditions that led to it, who truly was involved, who was really involved — and put it all together to understand how to prevent the crisis in Iraq, fix the problem in Afghanistan and Iraq combined," Ahmadinejad said.

COLUMBIA University Presi dent Lee Bollinger yester day made some cutting crit icisms while introducing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - but that doesn't make the school's decision to offer a platform to the head of a violent terrorist state any less abject, squalid or shameless. "Abject, squalid, shameless" is how Winston Churchill described the resolution passed by Oxford University's prestigious Debating Union in 1933 - the year Adolf Hitler came to power - that "this House will under no circumstances fight for King and Country." And Columbia's event, like the 1933 Oxford resolution, sent (to quote Churchill again) a "very...

NEW YORK - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad questioned the official version of the Sept. 11 attacks and defended the right to cast doubt on the Holocaust in a tense appearance Monday at Columbia University, whose president accused the hard-line leader of behaving like "a petty and cruel dictator." Ahmadinejad smiled at first but appeared increasingly agitated, decrying the "insults" and "unfriendly treatment." Columbia President Lee Bollinger and audience members took him to task over Iran's human-rights record and foreign policy, as well as Ahmadinejad's statements denying the Holocaust and calling for the disappearance of Israel. "Mr. President, you exhibit all...

Viewers riveted by show that depicts Holocaust, rarely mentioned in Iran TEHRAN, Iran - It is Iran's version of "Schindler's List," a miniseries that tells the tale of an Iranian diplomat in Paris who helps Jews escape the Holocaust — and viewers across the country are riveted. That's surprising enough in a country where hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has questioned whether the Holocaust even took place. What's more surprising is that government media produced the series, and is airing it on state-run television. The Holocaust is rarely mentioned in state media in Iran, school textbooks don't discuss it and Iranians...

Computer engineer Jonathan Morey says, "I have never voted for a Republican, ever." Nathan Hansen, a lawyer, says, "I've been a Republican all my life." Yet a political meeting in St. Paul, Minn., brought the 31-year-old friends together for the first time -- in support of presidential candidate Ron Paul. Officially, Mr. Paul is a Republican, elected to Congress 10 times and now running for the party's presidential nomination. But the party label hardly describes the obstetrician from south of Houston. And it certainly doesn't explain his appeal to a growing, if still small, number of voters across the political...

FAITH UNDER FIRE Germany silences pro-lifers, homeschoolers, creationists Crime is 'incitement of the people,' court rules in ordering prison term Posted: June 28, 2007 1:00 a.m. Eastern By Chelsea Schilling © 2007 WorldNetDaily.com A 55-year-old Lutheran pastor has been found guilty of "volksverhetzung" or "incitement of the people" by a German court and will spend a year in jail after an Erlangen court claimed he made a statement denying the Holocaust suffered by the Jews at the hands of Nazi-Germany during World War II. Johannes Lerle compared Germany's abortion rate of 150,000 annually to the murder of Jews in Auschwitz...

The LifeSiteNews.com story published Tuesday on the jailing of Pastor Lerle in Germany has been retracted after LifeSiteNews.com was informed that we were working with false information. While Pastor Lerle has in the past been jailed for anti-abortion activities his current one year imprisonment stemmed solely from holocaust denial and not from comparing abortion to the Nazi holocaust as we erroneously reported Tuesday. My sincere apologies for this serious error. John-Henry Westen Editor LifeSiteNews.com

Received this morning from Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Israel Director Efraim Zuroff (bold emphasis added): “Wiesenthal Center Expresses Outrage At Massive Outburst of Nostalgia for Croatian Fascism at Zagreb Rock Concert”:Jerusalem – The Simon Wiesenthal Center today expressed its sense of outrage and disgust in the wake of a massive show of fascist salutes, symbols and uniforms at a rock concert by popular ultra-nationalist Croatian singer “Thompson” attended by 60,000 people in Zagreb last night. In a letter sent today to Croatian President Stjepan Mesic, the Center’s chief Nazi-hunter Israel director Dr. Efraim Zuroff noted the presence of Croatian dignities, including...

Eric Hunt of N.J. allegedly assaulted author, Nobel winner - SAN FRANCISCO -- Police have secured an arrest warrant for the man accused of attacking renowned Holocaust author and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel in San Francisco earlier this month. Eric Hunt, 22, of Sussex County, N.J., allegedly tried to force Wiesel out of an elevator and into a hotel room at the Argent Hotel on Feb. 1. Wiesel, 78, was not hurt in the assault, but decided to immediately leave San Francisco and the interfaith conference he was in town for. A $500,000 arrest warrant was issued for...

"I think we have sufficiently talked about this matter and these Holocaust events need to be further investigated by independent and impartial parties," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said at a news conference on Friday following a meeting with China's president. "An event that has influenced so many diplomatic and political equations of the world needs to investigated and researched by impartial and independent groups," he said. Speaking in Shanghai, China, he added that Jews, Christians and Muslims all had the "right to be respected." Ahmadinejad has come in for sharp criticism in Europe for repeatedly casting doubt on the Holocaust and calling...

Berg: No good in al-Zarqawi's death DOVER, Del. - The father of Nicholas Berg, a U.S. contractor believed to have been beheaded by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq, said Thursday that he doesn't see any good coming from al-Zarqawi's death. "I see more death coming out of al-Zarqawi's death," Michael Berg told The Associated Press after learning a U.S. air strike had killed the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. Al-Zarqawi is believed to have beheaded two American civilians in 2004: Nicholas Berg, a 26-year-old businessman from West Chester, Pa., and Eugene Armstrong, a 52-year-old contractor from Hillsdale, Mich. Jack Hensley,...

Larry Darby A Democrat candidate in Alabama who denies the Holocaust occurred and seeks to "reawaken white racial awareness" is causing problems for state party leaders. Larry Darby, running for attorney general, believes fewer than 140,000 Jews died in Europe during World War II and contends most of them were afflicted with typhus, the Associated Press reported. The candidate, head of the Atheist Law Center, says the commonly held number of 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis is a false claim of the "Holocaust industry." The AP said Darby is scheduled to speak Saturday in New Jersey at...

Birmingham, Ala. -- Democratic Party leaders are wondering what to do about a candidate for attorney general who denies the Holocaust occurred and wants to "reawaken white racial awareness." Larry Darby, the founder of the Atheist Law Center, made an abortive bid for the AG job as a Libertarian in 2002, but only recently have his views on race and the Holocaust come to light. He has no money for campaign advertising and has made only a few campaign speeches, but garnered 12 percent support in the June 6 primary in a poll of 400 registered voters last month. The...

JAKARTA, Indonesia - Iran's president on Thursday intensified his attacks against Israel, calling it a "regime based on evil," but also said he was ready to negotiate with the United States and its allies over his country's nuclear program. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has previously said Israel should be wiped off the map, also told a cheering crowd of students in Indonesia's capital that the Jewish state "cannot continue and one day will vanish." Students held up posters saying "Iran in our Hearts," and "Nuclear for Peace." Ahmadinejad, known for his fiery rhetoric, is visiting Indonesia amid a deepening standoff over...

Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl is quoted in a semi-official Iranian newspaper denying the Holocaust. According to Jomhouri Islami, a Farsi newspaper, Kohl told Iranian businessmen in Germany that he agreed with statements by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that the Holocaust was a "myth." The government-owned daily wrote that at a dinner gala with Iranian hoteliers and entrepreneurs, Kohl said that he "heartily agreed" with Ahmadinejad's remarks about the Holocaust, according to a translation by Iran Focus. "What Ahmadinejad said about the Holocaust was in our bosoms," the former German chancellor was quoted as saying. "For years we wanted to...

Tehran, Iran, Mar. 06 – Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl reportedly told Iranian businessmen in Germany that he agreed with statements by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that the Holocaust was a “myth”, the semi-official Jomhouri Islami reported on Monday. The government-owned daily wrote that at a dinner gala with Iranian hoteliers and entrepreneurs, Kohl said that he “heartily agreed” with Ahmadinejad’s remarks about the Holocaust. “What Ahmadinejad said about the Holocaust was in our bosoms”, the former German chancellor was quoted as saying. “For years we wanted to say this, but we did not have the courage to speak out”....

Holocaust scholar Deborah Lipstadt was once sued by David Irving, but that doesn't mean she supports the jail sentence given to the Holocaust denier this week. "I'm in principle against laws that promote censorship. I'm in principle against laws on Holocaust denial. I'm in principle against laws that prevent the publishing of cartoons in Denmark," Lipstadt, a professor of Jewish and Holocaust studies at Emory University in Atlanta, told JTA on Tuesday, a day after an Austrian court sentenced Irving to three years in prison for statements he made in 1989 saying there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz. Lipstadt...

David Irving, the controversial historian, has confirmed he is to appeal against his three-year sentence for denying the Holocaust. Irving admits to 'refining' his Holocaust thinking In a television interview given from his jail in Austria, Irving, 67, said "I come from a free country, I am not going to let anybody silence me. "They are not going to succeed, I don't think." During his day-long trial in Vienna on Monday, he pleaded guilty to denying the Holocaust, but insisted that he now acknowledged the Nazis' slaughter of six million Jews during the Second World War.

The trial and conviction of David Irving provides much food for thought. First, there is Irving’s own confession that he is a “holocaust denier.” Whatever one may think of the merits of Irving’s work, his confession—for whatever motive (probably fear)—casts an ugly shadow on what he has done. He and many of his defenders have always denied this charge. Now he has admitted it, there is no more to be said. Then, there is his recantation. You see, he is now convinced, after going through Adolf Eichmann’s papers, that the Nazis really did kill millions of Jews. That should about...

European press split over Irving Irving has said he will appeal against his sentence The three-year prison sentence handed down by an Austrian court to British historian David Irving for denying the Holocaust divides opinion in Europe's press. In Austria, a commentator on a leading daily has no doubts that the sentence was fully justified, notwithstanding that the country is a democracy. But elsewhere, commentators worry that the sentence has undermined the fundamental democratic right of freedom of speech, and argue the principle should be upheld however abhorrent the views expressed. Hans Rauscher in Austria's Der Standard Holocaust deniers like...

British historian David Irving was sentenced in Austria to three years in prison after pleading guilty on Monday to charges of denying the Holocaust, saying he erred in contending there were no Nazi gas chambers during the Second World War. Irving could have received a 10-year prison term. Under Austrian law, it is a crime to publicly diminish, deny or justify the Holocaust. Handcuffed and wearing a dark suit, Irving arrived at the courthouse in Vienna carrying one of his books, Hitler's War, which challenges the extent of the Holocaust. "I made a mistake when I said there were no...

British historian David Irving has been found guilty in Vienna of denying the Holocaust of European Jewry and sentenced to three years in prison. He had pleaded guilty to the charge, based on a speech and interview he gave in Austria in 1989. "I made a mistake when I said there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz," he told the court in the Austrian capital. Irving appeared stunned by the sentence, and told reporters: "I'm very shocked and I'm going to appeal." An unidentified onlooker told him: "Stay strong!". Irving's lawyer said he considered the verdict "a little too stringent"....

Right-wing British historian David Irving pleaded guilty Monday to denying the Holocaust and was sentenced to three years in prison, even after conceding he wrongly said there were no Nazi gas chambers at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Irving, handcuffed and wearing a navy blue suit, arrived in court carrying a copy of one of his most controversial books — "Hitler's War," which challenges the extent of the Holocaust. "I made a mistake when I said there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz," Irving told the court before his sentencing, at which he faced up to 10 years in prison. He...

David Irving, the revisionist historian, pleaded guilty today to criminal charges of denying the Holocaust and conceded that he had been mistaken when he claimed that there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz. But, in comments to reporters and in testimony before a Viennese court, the British writer denied that he had ever written a book specifically about the Holocaust and said that after revision of his own views he now accepted that million of Jews were indeed murdered in Nazi death camps. "I am not a Holocaust denier. My views have changed," he said. "History is a constantly growing...

Iran's envoy to Portugal questions Holocaust 2006-02-15 15:34 LISBON, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Iran's ambassador to Portugal told a Portuguese radio interviewer it would have taken the Nazis 15 years to burn the corpses of 6 million people, a remark reflecting the denials of the Holocaust made by his president. "When I was ambassador in Warsaw, I visited Auschwitz and Birkenau twice and made my calculations," ambassador Mohammed Taheri said in an interview with Portuguese state radio RTP on Tuesday. "To incinerate 6 million people, 15 years would be necessary," he said. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad has repeatedly denied that...

The head of Iran's Jewish community has written a letter of complaint to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad about the leader's repeated insistence that the Holocaust never happened. "How is it possible to ignore all of the undeniable evidence existing for the exile and massacre of the Jews in Europe during World War II?" said Haroun Yashayaei in the letter, which was written two weeks ago but faxed to news agencies only yesterday. "Challenging one of the most obvious and saddening events of 20th-century humanity has created astonishment among the people of the world and spread fear and anxiety among the...

The trial of Holocaust denier Ernest Zundel in the Mannheim state court on charges of libel, incitement and disparaging the dead provides us with another opportunity to examine who the deniers are, their goals and how we should respond to them. Coming after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's recent statement on Iranian national TV that leaders in the West "have invented a myth that Jews were massacred and place this above God, religions and the prophets," this is especially important. Zundel, who failed to obtain Canadian citizenship, was deported from Canada last year to his native Germany. He immigrated to Canada...

Northwestern University President Henry Bienen said Monday that a professor's recent comments denying that the Holocaust happened are "a contemptible insult to all decent and feeling people" and an embarrassment to the university. Bienen commented days after tenured engineering professor Arthur Butz commented in the Tribune and in the Iranian press that he agreed with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's assertions that the Holocaust is a myth. Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency and the English-language Tehran Times have published Butz's comments, promoting the Northwestern professor as one of the world scholars who support the Iranian president. Ahmadinejad, who also has called...

Iran to host Holocaust denial conference Conference to be held following statements by Iranian President Ahmadinejad calling genocide of six million Jews 'a myth' and threatens to destroy Israel Associated Press Iran, whose president has denied the Holocaust in the past, said Sunday it would hold a conference to 'examine the scientific evidence' concerning Nazi Germany's extermination of 6 million Jews. Hard-line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has recently provoked global condemnation for saying the Holocaust is a "myth" and calling for Israel to be wiped from the face of the earth.
