TEHRAN, Iran — An Iranian-hosted conference of Holocaust deniers heard the former Imperial Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan declare Tuesday that Jews did not die in Nazi gas chambers.
"The Zionists have used the Holocaust as a weapon to deny the rights of the Palestinians and cover up the crimes of Israel," David Duke told a gathering of nearly 70 "researchers" gathered in Tehran at the invitation of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the CBC reported.
"This conference has an incredible impact on Holocaust studies all over the world," said Duke, a former state representative in Louisiana who twice ran for president.
"The Holocaust is the device used as the pillar of Zionist imperialism, Zionist aggression, Zionist terror and Zionist murder," Duke told The Associated Press.
Ahmadinejad opened Tuesday's session by thanking God that the Zionist regime was declining, telling conference participants, “its lifetime will be over and their interests as well as reputation will be endangered,” the Islamic Republican News Agency reported.

Can we just revoke his passport, and force him to stay over there?
I wonder if Robert Byrd will also speak.
Duke isn't a KKK member, he's a full-fledged Nazi.
I haven't seen such stupid pronouncement since the last time I opened a book by Jimmy Carter!
Honestly.........seriously........I just cannot take much more news like this.
I feel like I am living in a parallel universe from the one I lived in just six months ago.
Or Jimmy Carter.
If this makes the news, the MSM will refer to duke as a "republican".
There are German eyewitnesses who have said that the gas chambers were used to kill Jews. There are also very extensive and detailed German documents on the Jews killed.
In the words of Barney Fife, "He's a nut."
Even the Klan can't resist bloody, terrorist oil money.
And plenty of US Servicemen who liberated the camps, I would love for them to have a few minutes alone with Mr. Duke.
I haven't seen such stupid pronouncement since the last time I opened a book by Jimmy Carter!
Speaking of Jimmy, isn't he at this conference also.
I hear you.
This is sickening.
(VERY cryptic comment alert in three... two... one....)
I predict drywall sales will be booming in a certain LA district.
We should do to Duke what we should have done to Jane Fonda (and Lee Harvey Oswald) and tell him not to come back.
This all does have a very surreal feel to it, doesn't it. I have to keep pinching myself, asking people, "do people really take these people seiriously?". The sad part is that they do. Democrats want us to negotiate with these whack-jobs. I'm more and more afraid of waking up one day and finding that we have simply handed this country over.
Well, at least I'm not alone over on "this side," eh? :-)
