Iran leader: Holocaust a 'myth'

[zenith-nadir]

Well, if the translations are correct (and I think that it is more likely than not),

Judging by the reaction of the president of the EU's administrative body, Jose Manuel Barroso and Germany's foreign minister, whom I quoted earlier, I would say the translation is not in question,.. as I am sure Germany and the EU's administrative body have some fine translators at their disposal.

then they are either very uneducated or rabid anti-semites, or both.

And they are not alone. Saddam had the same feelings, Assad surely does, who knows whats in the minds of the Saudis but we do know in the past that:

Saudi imams (prayer leaders) have been praising suicide bombers as martyrs engaged in a legitimate fight to end the Israeli occupation of Arab land.

Let's close this telethon with a general prayer to curse the Israelis, the oppressors, and Zionism. And we pray for the Muslims, the Palestinians and the Mujahedin. (from a Saudi Arabian telethon)

CNN

Sadly President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has many rabid anti-semite comrades and colleagues.

Yes, I'm looking at you guys, 74% of Europeans.

That's 74% of Dutch people polled, not Europeans - and don't think I'm not ashamed of my fellow countrymen for voting the way they did, crappy poll or not.

Now that that poll is out of the way let's stick with my other posts in this thread. How do guys feel about what President Mahmoud "the holocaust was a hoax" Ahmadinejad said or what Mahathir "Jews rule the world by proxy" Mohamad said?

Fairly typical anti-semitic propaganda. He's talking the talk but I don't think he's ready to walk the walk - not yet, at least. Still, he knows it's scoring him more brownie points with the extremists.

Mofaz: Israel must face Iran with solutions
'other than diplomatic'

Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz on Friday spoke harshly against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadenijad saying Israel must prepare solutions "other than diplomatic" in the face of Tehran's persistent advancement of its nuclear program.

As usual, Israel`s direct threats of violence don`t get any media condemnation.
Israel must prepare solutions "other than diplomatic" - surely the world media is not going to sit back and allow such incitement to violence from the direction of Israel, when they didn't sit back on the Iranian leader's speech suggesting that the occupying regime in Jerusalem should be wiped out only a few weeks ago?
Israel's words are certainly stronger than those recent words of Iran - and Israel has the military power and track record to back them up.


Here`s another article:

One has only to imagine the tone of the article were the players reversed to see the hypocrisy of this report. There are also echoes, in comments about the international effort soon "having run its course", of US statements prior to invading Iraq. Note too that the fact Israel has a listening post in northern Iraq is mentioned without comment. Also the Osirak myth persists.

Since when is "other than diplomatic" equal to "direct threat of violence"?

Your post loses all cridibility by taking one possible meaning and running with it to the extreme.

I'll tell ya what guys. Forget the eeeevil European poll you are attacking. (Just an FYI I referenced it because many people polled felt Israel is "a threat to world peace" when I feel folks like President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are the real threat to world peace.)

I hereby relinquish all claims to the eeevil poll.

"eeevil poll"? Huh? It's just the standard stupid poll, and alas fanatics everywhere use such kind of curious results for their own purpose. Reminds me of woos using Schwartz or Sheldrake studies to justify their idiocy. Some people forget all about quality of evidence when their convictions are strong enough.

Now that that poll is out of the way let's stick with my other posts in this thread. How do guys feel about what President Mahmoud "the holocaust was a hoax" Ahmadinejad said or what Mahathir "Jews rule the world by proxy" Mohamad said?

I think my position was made clear when I referred to the iranian leader as a looney.
