Iranian foundation demands proof of Holocaust
2007-02-09
The so-called Holocaust Foundation of Iran demanded from Austria, Germany and Poland that they submit documents related to the massacre of Jews during the Second World War, state news agency IRNA reported Tuesday. The head of the Foundation, Mohammad-Ali Ramin, told IRNA that the documents were needed for the "fact-finding commission" to clarify the real extent of the Holocaust and the number of Jewish victims. The fact-finding commission was formed during a Holocaust conference in Tehran last December, which had been attended by controversial historians challenging the extent of the mass killings of Jews by the German Nazi regime.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had branded the Holocaust as a "fairy tale" and demanded the relocation of Israel to either Europe or America.
The conference had prompted widespread international criticism, and Ramin is well-known for his anti-Semitic standpoints and sympathies for neo-Nazi groups. He has however no official position in Iran's political system.
Yewbetcha, no official position what-so-ever.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had branded the Holocaust as a "fairy tale" and demanded the relocation of Israel to either Europe or America. Ahmadinejad had not attended the Holocaust conference in Tehran but welcomed the formation of the fact-finding commission at a reception of the participants. Ahmadinejad had blamed the West for allegedly prohibiting any investigation into the Holocaust, while accepting insults against Muslim Prophet Mohammed in form a cartoons as part of freedom of expression.

#13  Yes, Jim, they do, which is why their view should be repeated again and again in the media, and challenged regularly by presidents and prime ministers the world over as Jew hate. Let's get this anti-Semitism/anti-Zionism out in the open and take away the shell-game-switcheroo cover of support for "occupational resistance". Every country in the world should have to go on record about their conduct towards Jews/Israel.

#12  Maybe the doubting ayatollahs and other assorted muzzy dirt-bags should go in an auschwitz chamber and get a first hand demonstration - problem solved.

#11  You forget, they admire Hitler, I've read here on Rantburg, that they think Hitler just didn't finish the job.

-oh yeah, well we brand Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a "fairy" and demand the relocation of Tehran to either the Moon or Mars.

#9  And thus reveal themselves as unreasonable, Redneck Jim, establishing themselves fully in the "Hate-Jews" camp of nations. Let's help them hang themselves before the media. Get Merkel et al in front of the cameras with the evidence and then immediately after have them press Iran to stop its nuclear centrifuge work, as they advise, with the voice of an elder sibling admonishing a rash, reckless, younger one, Iran to avoid the lethal mistake of anti-Semitism. Have backup evidence showing how this ethnic hatred wasn't limited in its expression to Europe, but was an extension of anti-Semitism with roots deep in history, finding centuries of expression in Islam and Christianity, as well. Let them struggle to find a way of saying they don't hate Jews after that. Ahmedinejad has a big mouth and the world has media archives of it.

This move would undercut the loony left, which is always pining for that ever-vaunted "international opinion", and assists in the media battle against a nuclear Iran. Two birds with one stone.

#8  Doesn't matter how much proof you've got, they'll dismiss it all as fabricated, you cannot educate a closed mind.

#7  I said it before - give them the proof. Invite a high level delegation from Iran to Germany and lay it all out for them. Let them look at the death camp movies and pictures like doc posted. Let them watch the movies of people being loaded onto boxcars so they have some idea how much death a modern industrial power can deal out. Emphasize to them that it could happen again and if they're not careful they could be on the wrong end of it. While we're at it we could give them a little info about the hazards of nuclear fallout, strontium-90 and stuff like that but make it simple enough so that even an ignorant ayatolla can understand that their country could be rendered uninhabitable for thousands of years. Make it a big media event with the Iranians front and center so the world can see the looks on their faces when confronted with the "proof".

#6  This is the regime the leftards demand remain inviolate and the "religion" the leftards demand we respect.
