The Holocaust is now a subject of serious debate, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Saturday.
Iran has invited scholars from 30 countries to attend a conference starting on Monday about the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were killed by the Nazis.
``For 60 years talking about the Holocaust was a crime in the West but now there is a serious debate about the Holocaust in the media and also in political and popular meetings,'' state television quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.
Ahmadinejad sparked an international outcry by referring to the Holocaust as a ``myth'' and saying Israel should be relocated to Europe or North America.
``Even some Western politicians have declared that the original foundation of the Zionist regime (Israel) was a mistake,'' he said on Saturday.
Ahmadinejad has said his questioning of the Holocaust is aimed at encouraging scholarly debate and an examination of the reasons behind the creation of the state of Israel.
Deputy Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mohammadi has said the Holocaust conference will look at issues such as ``whether the gas chambers were actually used by the Nazis.''

People like him don't really deny the Holocaust happened. They know it did. They just think it was a good thing but can't say it (at least not yet).
Why not? He'll probably get a large percentage of reform Jews to agree with him.
I reallly don't give a r@t$ @SS what this little nutjob thinks about the Holocaust or anything else.
I just want him and his Islamic Ayatollah buddies dead and their head stuck on pikes in Tehran Square.
With this sorted out,
I wonder if Iran, now,
will have a debate
on whether or not
Islam is only a plot
by the Vatican
to eliminate
non-Cahtolics and control
gullible Arabs . . .
Maybe we should send him a book. He's probably never read one.
Oh yeah, Pres Bush should drop everythign he is doing and negotiate with this nut, and sacrifice Israel to allow for a surrender of Iraq.
Brilliant strategy James Baker.
I'll never understand why any Jewish person would vote for the moonbat party. Masochism is the only thing that makes sense. Dims don't even attempt to hide their disdain for Israel.
If you asked any of them today whether they have a better or worse chance of the US protecting Israel militarily with dims in control of the house, they would probably even admit that the chances are worse. And then the next vote they'll pull the dim lever again. It's unbelievable.
God bless your father! I just watched Into The Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport, a documentary about how 10,000 children were gotten out of Germany before Hitler totally lowered the boom.
Most of the children left their parents behind in the hopes that one day they could help get them out as well, only to be orphaned by the Holocaust the demonized Iranians now deny. One brief clip of the film was the most powerful for me: a tiny, emaciated woman at Auschwitz sitting weakly on the ground, holding an Allied soldier's hands to her face, kissing them repeatedly.
May God bless our soldiers in similarly treacherous times!
Stark raving mad.

If you said that it was a bread or pizza oven, that would be more correct.
"I'll never understand why any Jewish person would vote for the moonbat party." The Jews spent years pursuing daily life alongside the Irish, African Americans and Italians in the same slum neighborhoods like the "five points" area of New York in the mid 1800s, and it created a sense of camaraderie among these minorities which even today manifests itself in the liberal wing of the American political spectrum. Remember that Tammany Hall was the Democratic Party political machine that played a major role in New York City politics from the 1790s to the 1960s. It controlled Democratic party nominations and more importantly patronage in Manhattan from the mayoral victory of Fernando Wood in 1854 to the election of Fiorello LaGuardia in 1934, before it collapsed. My own father, a person that embodies the very principles of the GOP voted Democrat ever since Boss Tom Pendergast of Kansas City found him a job in 1925. Loyalty is a strange thing. All groups have "leaders." Even a bunch of union auto workers that all play softball together have a couple of guys that everyone looks up to in the group. The trick to being a successful Democratic party operative is to mingle and discover who these leaders are and do them favors. They will sell the agenda to their minions free of charge and they will be damn good salesmen because they honestly believe the party is good. Habit is habit and not to be flung out the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time. (Mark Twain) |
