Iran's Ahmadinejad Endorses Another Holocaust Denial Conference

[oberliner]

The Obama administration's expressed intention to try direct diplomacy with Iran has been rebuffed, at least publicly, by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who demanded an American "apology" for past injustices against his nation. Now, in another statement unlikely to win friends in Washington (not to mention Jerusalem), Ahmadinejad has again cast his lot with Holocaust deniers, sending a message of encouragement to a Tehran conference titled "Holocaust? A Sacred Lie by the West." The official Iran News Daily reports:

"Zionists are plundering nations' resources and their wealth by making use of politicians and political parties as well as dominating most of the world's power, wealth and media sources," said the president in a message sent to a conference on Holocaust held in the Sharif University of Technology in Tehran . . .

President Ahmadinejad added that the Zionist regime is the "illegitimate child" of the Holocaust phenomenon.

1. one can assume he's representing the Supreme Council

when he sends these messages. And for those terminally in denial, he means Jews when he says Zionists.

2. Accomodation with the USA is the last thing Ahm-an-idjit wants.

It's like expecting Avigdor Lieberman to favor the two-state solution. It would be the end of his political career, such as it is.

3. "Zionists are plundering nations' resources and their wealth..."

Yeah, and they have some good violinists too.
