Holocaust a lie, Israel no future - Ahmadinejad PRESIDENT Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called the Holocaust a lie overnight, raising the stakes against Israel just as world powers try to decide how to deal with the nuclear ambitions of an Iran in political turmoil. "The pretext (Holocaust) for the creation of the Zionist regime (Israel) is false ... It is a lie based on an unprovable and mythical claim," he told worshippers at Tehran University at the end of an annual anti-Israel "Qods (Jerusalem) Day" rally. "Confronting the Zionist regime is a national and religious duty." Mr Ahmadinejad's anti-Western comments on the Holocaust have caused international outcry and isolated Iran, which is at loggerheads with the West over its nuclear program. The hardline president warned leaders of Western-allied Arab and Muslim countries about dealing with Israel. "This regime (Israel) will not last long. Do not tie your fate to it ... This regime has no future. Its life has come to an end," he said in a speech broadcast live on state radio. Germany said Mr Ahmadinejad was a "disgrace to his country." "This sheer anti-Semitism demands our collective condemnation. We will continue to confront it decisively in the future," Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Mr Ahmadinejad's comment "only serves to isolate Iran further from the world." Mr Ahmadinejad won support from Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah which fought a 34-day war with Israel in 2006. "Our belief and creed ... remain that Israel is an illegal entity, a cancerous tumor, that must cease to exist," Nasrallah said in a televised address. Mr Ahmadinejad will appear next week at the United Nations General Assembly and Tehran will hold talks on October 1 with major powers worried about the Islamic Republic's nuclear strategy. Western powers are concerned by what they have called Tehran's defiance and "point-blank refusal" to suspend uranium enrichment and address the issue as demanded by U.N. Security Council resolutions since 2006. Instead of directly addressing those demands, Iran handed world powers this month a proposal that spoke generally of talks on political, security, international and economic issues but was silent on its nuclear program. Diplomats familiar with the Iranian proposal said it was vague and did not appear to pass "the smell test." US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said it was time Iran showed it is serious about addressing international concern. "There will be accompanying costs for Iran's continued defiance: more isolation and economic pressure," she said. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,26095412-23109,00.html While he has been lied about, over sensationalised, mistranslated and even victimised (by certain media outlets). He really needs to do some research and get over his 'holocuast was a lie' hang up. It's not helping him, the Iranian people, or (most importantly to him, it seems from this) the Palestinian people... |

Why the hell do we have to keep hating on each other? Just because Israel is dead wrong when it comes to Palestine, doesn't mean that the Holocaust never happened. And nor does it mean that the entirety of the Jewish-Israeli population is complicit in the blockade. WARNING: Feminist moment incoming. It's always the bloooooody men who fuck people over by trying to prove whose dick is bigger ![]() |
