Iran's Ahmadinejad says Holocaust a "myth" at Quds Day
2009-09-19
(Xinhua) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Friday that the Holocaust was a "myth" created by the West to support Israel.

"They (the West) created the myth of the Holocaust," Ahmadinejad said when addressing a crowd gathered at Tehran University at the end of the annual anti-Israel "Quds (Jerusalem) Day" rally.

"They lied and then support the Jews," he added.

"The pretext (Holocaust) for creating the Zionist regime (Israel) is a lie which relies on an unreliable and mythical claim," he said.

"The occupation of Palestinian territories has nothing to do with the Holocaust, and confronting the Zionist regime (Israel) isa national and religious duty," he added.

According to local English-language Press TV, millions of Iranians took to the streets in different cities to mark the annual Quds Day march in solidarity with Palestinians.

At the end of the rallies, a statement was issued in support of Palestinians, which said that the Iranians "support Palestinian resistance and Israel must avoid any new adventurism" in the region.

#7  It's surreal to me that we're even having a discussion about our pilots possibly being given orders to shoot down planes of our allies. Unfortunately, there are 3 long years to go.

I would hope so, but I don't trust anyone educated in the last 20 years, regardless of which "side" they may be on. It's going to take hanging some people to bring back the kind of freedom our forebearers knew and enjoyed.

#4  Ahmadinejad will be in New York on Monday. I just read this tidbit in the Weekly Standard:

Brzezinski suggests that Barack Obama do more than just refuse to support an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear sites -- the American president must give the order to shoot down Israeli aircraft as they cross Iraqi airspace

Maybe Brzezinski and Dinnerjacket can get together and share a 'cocktail' or two.

Frankly I'd prefer that the protest babes will hang Dinnerjacket and the Mullahs by their ***** (umm if they can find them, that is)

#2  I'd actually say it's a myth that Dinnerjacket won the elections.

Of course we don't have to speak about the Holocaust. But in 1945 when the Holocaust aleady was an undeniable fact, the Bristih had no intention at all to allow a "Zionist" regime or a Jewish state.

"The occupation of Palestinian territories has nothing to do with the Holocaust.."

Maybe not with THAT Holocaust and more with the holocaust the united armies of Egypt, Jordan and Syria were planning?
