Default Iran & it's Holocaust Denial

The Iranian Government is currently holding a conference on whether the holocaust took place or not.

They have invited well known holocaust deniers from around the world, including David Duke of the Klu Klux Klan.

The Iranian Foreign Minister M Mottaki claimed that they were merely "allowing people to express their views freely".

FFS !! they're nothing more than modern ***** !!

I'm kind of lost here? In a country where we encourage free speech we cannot denounce them for discussing the merits of whether something took place or didnt, whatever the subject.
They are only doing to provoke a reaction in the Israeli and western world and we should sit back and let them discuss it. If what they are saying is incorrect there will be no facts upon which to base their arguements and they will just look a bit silly.
Taking it as the insult they intend it to be is simply falling into their arms...

I say let them debate it, and let us draw cartoons of Mohammed. Their protests at some dutch artists behaviour then becomes petulent and backwards compared to our response to their pathetic attempt at retaliation.

Question

Hmmmmm, Holocaust? Well, anyone but a fool knows that it took place, no matter what you call it.

What I've never understood though, is the CONSTANT reference to Jews. OK, 6 million died , but around 20 million others were killed too, including Poles, Romanies, Slavs, Russians and prisoners of war, Eastern Christains, Africans, etc etc.

Yet ask anyone, or listen to anyone, and it's ALWAYS the 6 million Jews that get mentioned.
Why IS that?

On one hand Iran seeks to deny the Holocaust but on the other they seek the total destruction of Israel. Hypocrites.

I'm not taking sides on this but what has your grandfathers feelings got to do with the historic clash of civilisations between Iran and the Zionists?

It's not really racism is it.

My father was also in a POW camp close to Auschwitz and they could smell when there was an execution and burning going on. He would not talk abouit it either.

Alcazar,

I think is is mentioned so much because it was a deliberate policy to destroy the whole of the Jewish people as part of their ideas on ethnic cleansing. And as you say we should not forget the other minorities which were also murdered.

A shameful chapter in the history of mankind!

Question guys.

Have the Iranians openly said that they are out to get the Jewish people or have they got an issue with Israel as a country (nuclear weapons, ruthless millitary actions, palestine state, etc, etc).

The two are not the same....

If it the former then they are a complete bunch of idiots.

Because it's a religion. The Jews and the Iranians are both racially similar, part of the ethnic group called the Semites. They have the same common ancestors and supposedly are all the sons of Shem. (Noah's son)

Iran also has the largest Jewish community outside of Israel in the middle east.

Iran are vehemently opposed to the Zionists/Israel/US, not to kill all Jews.

Incidentally it wasn't widely reported but the Christian Groups in Iran managed to get the Da Vinci code banned because it was offensive to Christians. Don't believe all the propoganda against Iran and that they hate all non-Muslims because I think our governments and media can be just as bad.

Who's joking? Pretty obvious this thread is about Iran and their attitudes to the halocaust, which is fundamental to the state of Israel. Do you think Iran are doing this because of their love of history or because of their attempted belligerence towards Israel?

No, but a meeting of Iranians and the KKK to discuss 'did this happen' most definitely is ....

quite right. freedom of speech is a two-way street, if you can call iran a free state, which you can't. it's been obvious for some time that ahmadinejad is off his gourd anyway and this is just a PR stunt.

all the more reason for keeping his grubby little mad hands off nuclear technology.

I always thought that the biggest objection by the Arabs towards the Jews is that Israel stands on what was Palestine.

You mean the people of Isreal or do you mean Jews from all around the world?
