Ahmadinejad questions 'fairy tale' Holocaust, denies being anti-Semite

You are an ignoramus - stop the ignorance!

Of course completely disproven white supremacist trash. But just in case anyone was in doubt of who has hijacked the Haaretz comments.

Saladin- This theory has been been investigated by genetic sampling. Jews' closest relatives are other Levantine peoples as well as the Kurds. The Khazars do not make a significant genetic contribution to the world-wide Jewish population. On a side note, it's particularly interesting is how closely related the Palestinians are to the Jews.

Jews sya "never argue with an idiot,because a bystander will not know who's who..." Yes,Many Jews have their roots from the Khazars(in Georgia).Many have their roots from the Falashmura (Ethyopia),from the Manasha People (India),from the Lemba in South East Africa, and from all over the world...The Jews come in all sizes and collors...Maybe even you in all your stupidity can have a pint or two of Jewish blood running in your stream of sewage

First they called imbed, next they try to delegitimize their country and now they say that Jews are not Semitic

The rest of us knows what happened. And will happen again, if not confronted

And what if Hitler won the war and got what he wanted? Sure, the Jews would be gone, but what about the Muslims? Hitler had plans for you too. His plan was to occupy the Muslim world starting with North Africa and the Middle East. He already had his troops in North Africa. Your so-called "occupied palestine" would have been nothing compared to every Arab land being part of the nazi empire. Hitler then would have enslaved its inhabitants and taken their oil.

who are making the Jews more important that the others. 6 million Jews constituted more than a third of world Jewry - If you question the numbers then do your own research to prove your point. We Jews have the right to commemorate our dead without anyone telling us what and how to do it. I have no problem with the Russians commemorating their war ded, not with the number of Russians you claim were killed. Why should you have a problem with our 6 million. It is all well documented - mainly by the Germans themselves.

...jews were rounded up and exterminated. and don't be ignorant of the number, it has been proven

It is not more important than Russians, but, the difference IS that the millions of jews and some other minorities who died were the result of genocide for merely being jews, catholics, Gypcies, while most of rest who died were as a result of combat/war. Moron. Go and read some Nazi genocide facts.

the difference is that the jews were killed bedause they were jews whereas the otheres wre killed resisting the nazis or other dictators....that does not take away the horror of any killing of people

The rest of us know what HAPPENED. See the INSANE films taken by the Germans during the war and the Americans as they liberated the DEATH camps. The islamic world for the most part was on the side of the NAZI'S. Can you NOT see this? Is the box car clattering down the track again and you can not descern it ? Why? Why again?

he is not a lunatic but rather a demogogue..he should be domonized around the world constanltly as a LIAR Liar LIAR...a liar about the Holocaust and his tales about not trying to build an atom bomb...years form now we will be able to deny tht this liar ever existed

Xena, YOU ARE 'EXACTLY' CORRECT...This is precisely what is going on. PLEASE!!!! Warn and instruct as many people as POSSIBLE before it is too late... OR....IT IS GENOCIDE.....AGAIN !!!!!!!!!

So were Hitler, Stalin and many other despots. So? Feeling comfortable being one of the ignorant masses, Geoff? Good on you.

So the world apart from Israel cherishes Ahmedinejad? Is that why the major nations of the world, even Russia and China, is applying sanctions against his regime? Is that why leading powers such as the UK, France, Germany and others roundly condemn him when he makes these ludicrous racist remarks? Having said that, there is no doubt Ahmedinejad has his supporters, including like-kind racists like David Duke and other Jew haters.

what kind of human being he really is

And I feel sorry for you if you can't tell the differences.

Did he not read the words of Moses in the Qur'an? Surah 5.22:- 'O my people! enter the holy land which God hath assigned unto you,' And have they not read the words of Allah? Surah 17.104:- 'And We said thereafter To the Children of Israel, 'Dwell securely in the land (of promise)':

Did you???! Where did you see in the book that the poor defenceless Palestinians should be treated that way???!!

"And even the rocks and trees shall say, there is a Palestinian hiding behind me, come and kill him"

there woul be no problem with the palestinians if the arab world had not attacked israel i n the early days and forced israel to fight back to sop the conastant threats and suicide bombers

Stephen, It's amazing you have the anti-Semitism to spin this evil. Nobody, no institution, no Jew denies any victim of WWII. The Shoah has features that make it different though from the terrible suffering and genocide of other peoples. Let me know if you need an explanation about it.

Instead of lacking knowledge about Islam, Judaism, Iran, and Israel and winging it in your posts, first go learn something about these complicated issues before commenting on them. Any Jewish State in this ancient area that the Muslims have confiscated for Islam - the final religious solution for all mankind according to them - is a Zionist State in Iran's mind. BTW, Israel does not "deny" the other Gypsies, homosexuals, and POWs also killed by the Nazis and their sympathisers, they just recognize the unique hellish drive to scapegoat the Jews, as should you!

Before being removed from the site, a national Iranian publication carried his statements, translated to English on their own site. The whole, "mistranslation" nonsense is a bunch of bull.

"Zionism is the Jewish national movement of rebirth and renewal in the land of Israel ". The zionist are resposible for the formation of Israel. Zionism is the belief in Israel. So...let's see if you can fill in the dots.

Stephen, obviously you are lost in the fog of anti Israel bashing, but if you were to become enlightened you would know that Israel,on a constant basis,recognizes the millions of non Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust.

no other group fell into that category. Some historians who believe that Hitlers war was a war against the Jews.the holocaust is specifically about the Jews i see by the number of approvals to your post the Jew haters are out in force.

For sure, NOT 6 MILLION. And gays and gypsies were not hoarded into camps. Are you questioning the Holocaust, too, peabrain??

Yes he did. If you referring to the Guardian article, then you will find that it has been refuted by some Iranians themselves. There is a good wiki article about it so maybe it’s you who should read before jumping on the bandwagon. Also, if you actually bothered to go to Yad Vashem you would realise that it does commemorate the other victims of the Holocaust but why let truth get in the way of a good moan eh?

He said that Sahiunizm (which is the Farsi version of Zionism) should be wiped off the map! Ladies and Gentlemen, He did not say Jews should be wiped off the map. He said Zionism by which he meant occupation mentality. And one more thing needs to be said: These words were said long before he became the president by the religious leader of Iran.

Gays, gypsies and anyone opposed to Nazism were put into camps. Estimates go into the millions.

Please list names of Gypsy camps and gay camps. Unaware of such.

He said ISRAEL should be wiped off the map. It said so IN ENGLISH on an IRANIAN government news service.

There were gypsies in Auschwitz, and they were sent to the gas chambers.

Wiki: "Some scholars maintain that the definition of the Holocaust should also include the Nazis' systematic murder of millions of people in other groups." When will you show an official declaration INCLUDING other groups into Holocaust instead of SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE? One third of the world Jewry disappeared and MichaelUK aka Stephen still refuses to give Holocaust the importance it deserves.(At least change the wording in "When was the last time you ever heard an Israeli politician pay respect to Holocaust/Muslim cultural achievement in Israel/Palestine"before changing nickname...) Yes Michael,it is not the first time you refuse to talk about Holocaust and why should you if we lost just two-thirds of European Jewry.One third was still alive so what.Huh Michael?Sorry.Huh Stephen? Another “The Jews Are Our Misfortune” self-declared friend of Israel.

"He said Zionism by which he meant occupation mentality." Who are you to say what Ahmadinejad meant? Since when does Zionism mean "occupation mentality"? Only in the minds of ignorant anti-Israel morons, such as you. Open an encyclopedia. Zionism means the establishment of a homeland for the Jews in their ancestral homeland, the Land of Israel. So how exactly do you wipe "Zionism" off the map, pray tell?

The Jews stoned people, the Romans crucified. Jesus (a Jew) was crucified by the Romans but the media (new testament), jealous of Jews, got idiots like you to hate the Jews.You no better than Ahmadinajad and the rest of racists hiding under the banner of 'human rights'.

Completely without foundation. Probably written by those who haven't been themselves. Why not 12 stars overlooking the western wall?

Seems you have a problem with false accusation, Damiel. If someone wants to pick up my comments and run with them then so be it.

Germany and other European countries have made Holocaust denial a crime. Israel didn't make laws for them.

... then I don't think you're capable of getting it.

it is not illegal to tell your personal opinion about holocaust, nobody cares what people say at home or to their buddies in a pub. the public denial is illegal in the countries where the holocaust took place. they know why. as for god--try deny the existince of allah or islam in iran. good luck. try to deny god or islam in iran and see what happens.

You said,"She should kiss this ugly frog Ahmadi so he can turn into Prince Charming".......................... If foolhardy were to kiss that ugly frog ,the poor girl would turn into a monkey !

Get a freaking dictionary and look up the term, "Semite," which applies to any Semitic speaking people. Then look up the term, "Anti-Semite," which applies to Jews and Jews alone. You don't like it? Write your own dictionary.

Zionizm is movement to establish homeland for the Jewish people. I don't see anything wrong with that since Jewish people of about 15 million worldwide do deserve to have a state of their own. Yes not all Jews are Zionists, same as not all Zionists are Jews. The term "anti-semite" was used historically in relation to the Jews only, since they were the once, who suffered from the Cassack pogroms in Russia, Moldova, Ukraine, pogroms in Poland and other places. Such term have never applied to Arabs as they were not subjected to similar discrimination and violence. Yes, there is anti-Arab prejudice, but mostly this is connected to the Islamic terrorism, started in 1960-s and 1970-s. I also believe that such prejudice is unfair.

The term anti-Semite has a very specific meaning referring to hatred of Jews - not hatred of Semites. It was coined specifically to refer to Jew-hatred or fear, not to the larger Semitic world. The attempt to misdirect it by saying one is not anti-Semitic but merely anti-Zionist is rubbish. Like it or not, which you clearly do not, Zionism is, and always, has been a fundamental part of Judaism. For the past 3000 years our most basic prayers refer to the longing to return to Jerusalem and Zion - modern political Zionism is just the secular expression of those ideals.

The history of the term was developed in reference to Jews. Anti-semitism was coined by a German anti-semite who targeted Jews for everything under the son.

Well the dictionary obviously has a flaw, or is biased in favor of the jews when it comes to this word. If it defines semite as arabs and jews, then anti- semite means obviously means anti arabs and or jews. See the west is pretty anti-semitic when it comes to arabs. Thats just obvious.

I had no idea supporting Israel's existence means that! I wonder what that makes of the religious extremists on the other side who send their children to blow up on buses!

the term antisemitism was created to describe hatred of Jews. That is historical fact. The concept of people being Semites is nonsensical. The dictionary is not flawed; your mind is

who know you guys planted everytihng!

They canceled their trip to Gaza fearing meeting with israel solders.They always were coward in the battles.

55 Islamic countries. 22 Arab countries. All nearly wiped clean of Jews 60 years ago. One small Jewish country where the Jews are trying to remain on lands they have lived on until 1948 (when Jordan and Egypt wiped them clean of Jews). And Israel is the imperialist. Anti-Israelis are morons.

Get educated and start building a peaceful State for the Palestinians instead of foraging around for facts in the compromised collection of your spiritual and historical revisionism! Not only did your ancestors steal Jewish land and property, you squatted right over top of their most holy Temple grounds.

whether Berber or Jewish or simply not an Arab; life for non-Arabs in your racist world is hell; sorry Mohamed, Zionism is simply the National Liberation movement of the Jewish people. Get over it.

Jews are the indigenous people of Israel. Policies regarding settlements, palestinians, etc need to improve resulting in a two-state solution. However, ignoring 1000s of years of Jewish history does not make things magically better. Just an anti-semitic utterance.

It is moronic to assume everyone who is against Israel is a moron, whatever their intentions. Oh, and a lot of the land your 'small Jewish coutry' is being built on didn't belong to Jews, and was not part of the Israel that was declared in 1948. A lot of the people who lived there now live in refugee camps.

You have the story backwards, Mohamad. Islam started out as a small tribe in present-day Saudi Arabia and now stretches over thousands of miles. And it expanded through the use of the sword. Is that not imperialism?

IT WAS LOST, by the stupid Arab leaders that could not bring themselves to a foreign entity in the Middle East. They thought the WHOLE Middle East was theirs. Their continued attacks LOST more land, and they will LOSE more land with further attacks. Either time for Arab leaders to become pragmatic, or their land will shrink.

"I don't care what reasons people give for stealing land its still stealing land." The Jewish People's absence from their ancestral homeland due to having been exiled by the Roman occupiers is no excuse for the stealing of their land by Arab squatters. That said, I believe both need to get along and both have the right to live peacefully and freely in this land. .

Best answer i have read here in a long while. well said.

Turkey - for instance - did not wipe out jews ! But always protected. you are writing your own history

Tell us again how many Jews (outside of Israel) are left in the rest of the Middle East.

The Christian Bible agrees with the Hebrew Bible that the land belongs to Israel. Perhaps read about the "Son of Hamas", Mosab Hassan Yousef. He became a Christian, left Hamas, and worked with Israel against Hamas.

....by G-d a lot earlier than 1948. The Christian Bible agrees with the Hebrew BIble that the land belongs to Israel. Maybe read a Bible, Will.

What "black box" is he even referring to. The Holocaust is the most well-documented and researched annhilation of a people in history.

I appreciate your question. I am an American and Holocaust denial is protected here under freedom of speech. In Europe it is illegal because it is equated with incitement to hatred. The people who question it have a hateful and ant-semitic agenda and are not looking for scholarly discussion.

"Why hiding the facts" Who's hiding any facts about the Holocaust? What are you talking about? The evil lunatic just won't let facts get in his way!

He's the puppetteer of Syria, Hezballah and Hamas, to name but some terrorist proxies only.

Bottom line: Even with the push to destroy documents at the end of the war Germany's documentation was so vast and meticulous enough survived to support the claims. Germany accepted responsibility for it. Germany admitted to it Germany accepted the blame

I said Hanging but it was Stoning.

A failed, insignificant, psychophant. A nebbich, a megalomanic fool with violent, genocidal rhetoric, sleeping in cheap pensions in Vienna. Nobody would give a dime for him. The fools were all of us. So you aren't completelt anti-Semitic, just a little bit: "Israel does indeed exploit the Holocaust for its own political purposes. That is verifiable". Yeah, sure.

You guys drift a float together on the same ship I see...

I was talking to a friend of mine the other day. He is an Israeli of Arab ancestry. He was talking about Lieberman and I said that Lieberman is just a fool - nobody to be concerned with. My friend said I was being rude, insulting and patronizing for invalidating and dismissing his legitimate fears. He was right. Now I say the same to you that my friend said to me.

But he has billions to spare to protect his "civilian nuclear" program with state of the art Russian defence systems when a barbed wire fence with a warning sign would have sufficed. If the death of Jews in the Holocaust isn't true, Ahmadinejad can volunteer to find these frauds living amongst us today, and you can volunteer to hold his notebook for him as you both travel the world extensively looking to document their existence.

Ahmedeinjaad is an academic, if he is denying the holocaust , Please open all research to this past event. He wants the whole world to research this event. Truth has not fear, so let him go research and shut the hell for good ?

you;ll see he is an idiot and if you beleive him, so are you.

There are countless records from the Nazis themselves which prove this event happened.

that won't change the facts he points out

6 million? never been proven

Let's hold a Worldwide Competition for the best Cartoon of Mohamed and discuss whether the Koran is a Myth. Are you up for it? Is Dr Death? Why not?

and you should be embarrassed for saying otherwise

Of the 6 million Jews that perished, this number includes those of interfaith marriages (gentile partners and the offspring and their offspring) that today would not be regarded as Jews. Orthodox (Halacha) Jews did not number 6 million that perished. This is what the Iranians are questioning, not the Holocaust itself.
