Not a long post here...Just wanted to let you all know that the president of Iran doesn't think there was a Holocaust. Or, to phrase it like an open-mic comedian I once saw whose name I forget, the Holocaust happened...but not how you think!
Here's what President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had to say:
"Some European countries insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces and they insist on it to the extent that if anyone proves something contrary to that they condemn that person and throw them in jail," IRNA quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.
"Although we don't accept this claim, if we suppose it is true, our question for the Europeans is: is the killing of innocent Jewish people by Hitler the reason for their support to the occupiers of Jerusalem?" he said.
"If the Europeans are honest they should give some of their provinces in Europe -- like in Germany, Austria or other countries -- to the Zionists and the Zionists can establish their state in Europe. You offer part of Europe and we will support it."
It's an interesting argument...He's saying that Hitler didn't kill 6 million Jews, but if he had, then the Jewish homeland should be set up in Europe. In high school Team Debate, they'd tell you never to make an either/or argument like that, because it unneccessarily muddles the issue. You either think there was or was not a Holocaust. If Hitler didn't kill 6 million Jews, then there wouldn't need to be a Jewish homeland anywhere. But if he did kill 6 million Jews, then maybe there is some sense in the establishment of a Jewish homeland.
Mahmoud's trying to have it both ways. Really...he probably doesn't believe a word of this. He probably knows very well that the Holocaust happened, but knows that in order to maintain his power, he must continue propagating anti-Semetic sentiment amongst his people. Just like our president and the gheys!
