IRAN: HOLOCAUST CONFERENCE SOON IN TEHRAN

 

Tehran, 5 Jan. (AKI) - Iran has decided to rewrite and revise the history of the Holocaust. Following the repeated declarations by the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and other senior government officials on the need to re-examine the history of the genocide of the Jews during the Second World War, the association of Islamic Journalists of Iran has been tasked with quickly putting together an international conference on the Holocaust.

 

"President Ahmadinejad has placed at the centre of international attention, a very important question on the truthfulness of the version that Europe and the Zionists have imposed on the world on the murder of Jews during the years of the great war, and therefore we are of the opinion that it is useful and necessary to organise an international conference on that theme, where all the historians and researchers, even those that do not believe in the official version, will be able to express themselves freely," Mehdi Afzali, spokesperson of the Association of Islamic Journalists told Adnkronos International (AKI).

 

"We want to offer a free and democratic platform to the historians to examine in-depth this myth, seeing that in different European countries there exist laws against democracy and freedom that to do not allow intellectuals who believe in a version distinct from that which is officially pronounced on the Holocaust," added Afzali.

 

"We will invite those who believe in the imposed version as well as all those who have spent years of their lives in the study of documents related to the Holocaust and have come to the conclusion that the history books in schools and universities do not correspond to the truth," said Afzali, who however refused to supply the names of the revisionist historians who have been contacted to appear in the conference in Tehran. Revisionists are those who deny that the Holocaust ever happened.

 

In Iran, books by the English historian, David Irving, currently in custody in an Austrian jail after having been accused of denying the Holocaust, are very popular.

 

Among the names of possible guests at the conference are the Israeli journalist lsrael Shamir, a convert to Christianity, and Horst Mahler from Germany, a former member of the the terrorist group, the Red Army Faction. Other revisionist scholars, such as the French Robert Faurisson and the American Arthur Butz, are also some of the other possible participants of the conference in Tehran.

That sounds interesting.

 

How can they come up with facts that it didn't happen? Denial, denial and uh, some more denial and that's it?

 

Have these folks ever been to one of the KZ's around (Eastern) Europe?

While one can argue about the actual numbers of Jews killed, denying that it happened is simply unbelievable. Still, there are writers who claim just that. You can read their books and they seem to make sense. Then again, I once read a book claiming that the moon is a hollow alien built space station -- and that book was quite well written too!

The problem with this Iranian loony is that he is pushing these "theories" for political reasons. He has already claimed that Israel has no right to exist and demand Israel's expulsion from the UN ... sort of overlooking the fact that Israel was created by a UN resolution. There is a real danger that this nut could finally push Israel into launching nukes to stop him.
