Israel Assailed At Holocaust Conference

Holocaust Deniers Applaud Iranian Leader's Claim That Jewish State Will Be 'Wiped Out'

(CBS/AP)  Iran's hard-line president said Tuesday that Israel will be one day be "wiped out" just like the Soviet Union was, drawing applause from participants in a world conference casting doubt on the Nazi Holocaust during World War II.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's comments were likely to further fuel the outcry sparked by his hosting of the two-day gathering, which has gathered some of Europe and the United States' most well-known Holocaust deniers.

Anger over the conference could have political fallout, further isolating Iran and prompting a harder line from the West, which is considering sanctions against Tehran in the standoff of its nuclear program.

But Ahmadinejad appeared to revel in his meeting Tuesday with the conference delegates, shaking hands with American delegates and sitting near six anti-Israeli Jewish participants, dressed in black ultra-Orthodox coats and hats.

Ahmadinejad repeated predictions that Israel will be "wiped out," a phrase he first used in a speech in October, raising a firestorm of international criticism.

"The Zionist regime will be wiped out soon the same way the Soviet Union was, and humanity will achieve freedom," Ahmadinejad told the participants during Tuesday's meeting in his offices, according to the official IRNA news agency.

"By the grace of God, the arc of the Zionist regime's life has reversed and is heading downward. This is a divine promise and the public demand of all nations of the world," he said, bringing applause from the delegates.

The Tehran conference was touted by participants and organizers as an exercise in academic free expression, a chance to openly consider whether 6 million Jews really died in the Holocaust far from laws in several European countries that ban questioning some details of the Nazi genocide during World War II.

It gathered 67 writers and researchers from 30 countries, most of whom argue that either the Holocaust did not happen or was vastly exaggerated. Many had been jailed or fined in France, Germany or Austria, which have criminalized Holocast denial.

Participants milled around a model of the Auschwitz concentration camp brought by one speaker, Australian Frederick Toben, who uses the mock-up in lectures contending that the camp was too small to kill mass numbers of Jews. More than 1 million people are estimated to have been killed there.

"This conference has an incredible impact on Holocaust studies all over the world," said American David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader and former state representative in Louisiana.

"The Holocaust is the device used as the pillar of Zionist imperialism, Zionist aggression, Zionist terror and Zionist murder," Duke told the Associated Press.

Ahmadinejad has used anti-Israeli rhetoric and comments casting doubt on the Holocaust to rally anti-Western supporters at home and abroad, particularly in Asia and the Middle East. Several times he has referred to the Holocaust as a "myth" used to impose the state of Israel on the Arab world.

The conference has produced worldwide condemnation.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair said Tuesday that the conference was "shocking beyond belief" and called the conference "a symbol of sectarianism and hatred."

He said he saw little hope of engaging Iran in constructive action in the Middle East, saying, "I look around the region at the moment, and everything Iran is doing is negative."

In Washington, the White House condemned Iran for convening a conference it called "an affront to the entire civilized world."

Israelis were outraged by the Holocaust deniers' conference, reports CBS News correspondent Robert Berger.

"This has nothing to do with research or any exploration of the historical issues but is merely an attempt to bring together anti-Semites to try and disseminate anti-Semitic propaganda and delegitimize the state of Israel," said Ephraim Zuroff, who heads the Israeli branch of the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

"Agnim,
if you call that ethnic cleansing, and a reason to kick people out of thier country, I assume you believe that both North and South America are have illigitamate governments

That would be a logical conclusion, E. LOL

The thing about evils is that the come in different 'sizes' and longevity.

Some evils will take a longer time to erase and reverse than others; but they will be reversed. Trust me.
What we sow we shall reap at some time.

Some evil may be attended in the here and now. LOL

I am sure you can figure out which evil the ethnic cleansing by the Jews represent? LOL

[e-meister1]

Agnim,
if you call that ethnic cleansing, and a reason to kick people out of thier country, I assume you believe that both North and South America are have illigitamate governments Surely, you have heard about what Columbus and subsequent explorers/settles did to the NAtive Americans who, initially, welcomed them with open arms!

[e-meister1]

Patriot9,
You are a sick being to suggest that a country be wiped off the map so that america can enjoy cheaper oil. You clearly lack morals and empathy. In so far as 9/11 and other atrocities committed aginst the USA, blaming this on Israel is pointless. You have no counterfactual evidence to suggest that terrorism would not exist without Israel. The fact is that Islam preaches spreading thier faith and ruling the infidels. If Islamic terror is only due to anger at the west for supporting israel, how do you explain islamic terror in Darfur (against thier own people!) and recently in Somalia (see CBS news story).

jfoster09: thank you for thinking about it . if eveyone stoped to think of all the changes that have happened in history regarding lands and countries I think you would be shocked at what you would find . SO lets give it all back to whom it belongs . lol

[wolf563]

can someone tell me who ran the ISRAELI`S out of what land they started from ? should that land be returned to the ISRAELI`S ? What should be done to those who bannished them ?

[agnim]

"Agnim,
Exactly which violence and ethnic cleasing are you claiming was perpetrated against the arabs by zionists before 1948?

Posted by E-meister1 at 06:45 PM : Dec 12, 2006"

You may set up some arbitrary and irrelevant date of 1948 all you like.

What wiser minds will look at are the PALESTINIAN PEOPLE LIVING AS REFUGEES OUTSIDE OF THEIR INDIGENOUS SPACE! They were DRIVEN with NO RIGHT OF RETURN!

It is that violence of ethnic cleansing to create this latest version of the inimical israel state to which we are referring.

[djberson]

You shut-up you vile filth. You are clearly frustrated because you don't have the brain-cells to answer such an easy question.

[djberson]

Come on Patriotic9, take the quiz. Just for fun!

If you can answer my question I will agree with you.

[patriotic9]

The European invaders in PALESTINE can contribute in SCIENCE,MEDICINE and TECHNOLOGY back in EUROPE.They don't need to occupy the PALESTINIAN LAND and cause killing of AMERICANS and HATRED AGAINST THEM.Do you really care about UNITED STATES.Off coarse I do repeat my self like the news media repeat the word IRAQ every day.Is it sensible to tell the news channel to stop using word Iraq every day in the news.I don't think so.Same is the case with the ILLEGITIMATE and UNJUSTIFIED EXISTANCE of ISRAEL and the sufferings of AMERICANS as a result of it.
If you think any suggestion I gave is not sensible,prove it with reason.If I'll be proven wrong,I'll accept my defeat and change my point of view.I bet you'll never ever be bale to do so.If you could,you would.

[djberson]

Patriotic9, You keep repeating yourself. Since you don't work and have the time, why don't you take my quiz ????

[patriotic9]

djberson
I care about the UNITED STATES then I care about rest of the world.My job is not to impress you or any body else here on this blog.This is not a dating website.My job is to protect my country UNITED STATES and her people.The MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRY else the occupied land of PALESTINE by the EUROPEAN INVADERS in PALESTINE give my fellow AMERICANS OIL in cheaper prices in which our whole economy is based.The EUROPEAN INVADERS in PALESTINE on the other hand have given HATRED,TERRORISM,and 9/11 against our nation plus snathcing more then $3 BILLIONS a year from our tax payed money.If EUROPEANS were not brought into PALESTINE for ILLEGAL OCCUPATION,thousands of my fellow AMERICANS would not loose their lives in WORLD TRADE CENTER.I don't want Millions of more US citizens to die for the ILLEGITIMATE and UNJUSTIFIED EXISTANCE of ISRAEL on the world map.I don't care if the EUROPEAN INVADERS in PALESTINE have given the world SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY if they result in the death of AMERICANS.There are so many other countries in EUROPE,ASIAN COUNTRIES and USA herself to do those jobs.Lost of AMERICAN MONEY and AMERICAN lives for any NON AMERICAN is NOT WORTH IT at all period.

[tigerbeach]

Will any of these countries learn to love their children more than they love to hate others?

[djberson]

Here is a little quiz.... name five things the Middle Eastern countries, EXCEPT for Israel have contributed to the global community. These could be:
Medical, Technological, Scientific or otherwise. Go.

[djberson]

Gaye5, It is nice to see somebody with common sense in this thread for once. The tiny little state of Israel has given more back to the world in a few short years than all of the other Middle Eastern countries combined in the entire history of the world. So all the bigmouth bigots on this board that go on and on whining and complaining about Israel should think about that before rushing into a boycott, thats for sure. Patriotic9, you clearly have nothing to do, and nothing more to say since you have repeated your same unintelligable garble about 400 times in the last 24 hours. Go learn how to express yourself clearly and concisely, and get a job while you're at it.

[patriotic9]

All those people who don't believe in what SIR THOMAS JAFFERSON had said and believe that human beings are not created equal.Those who consider Americans as GOD NEGLECTED and NON AMERICAN EUROPEAN INVADERS IN PALESTINE as GOD-CHOSEN,want AMERICANS to pay the price for ILLEGAL AND UNJUSTIFIED OCCUPATION of the PALESTINIAN LAND on the cost of GOD-NEGLECTED AMERICAN LIVES,MONEY and UNHOLY LAND USA herself,should either denounce this INJUSTICE and RACISM taught by the RADICAL BIBLE or should be killed for their crimes against HUMANITY.
CHRISTIANITY is PSYCHOSIS and CHRISTIAN PSYCHOTICS who consider those who love JESUS and believe in him as a MESSIAH and SON OF GOD as GOD NEGLECTED whereas those who DENY JESUS being a MESSIAH,SON OF GOD and deny the virginity of his MOTHER HOLY MARRY and accuse her of comitting fornication as GOD CHOSEN are as PSYCHO as BUSH.CHRISTIANITY snatch the mental capability of reasoning and thinking a fact evident from US support to the ILLEGITIMATE and UNJUSTIFIED EXISTANCE OF ISRAEL on the cost of GOD-NEGLECTED AMERICAN MONEY ,LIVES and USA herself as the only purpose of the creation of AMERICANS is to SERVE,BEING SLAVES and PROTECTORS of the GOD CHOSEN ENEMIES OF GOD's ONLY SON.It's now very clear why all the steps taken by BUSH on the name of CHRISTIANITY has been proven as PSYCHOSIS.Americans dying in NEW ORLEANS and AMERICAN money going to the GOD CHOSEN ENEMIES OF GOD'S ONLY SON IS another example of this PSYCHOSIS.

[patriotic9]

According to our American standard,people should be treated on the basis of their actions not on the basis of RELIGION,RACE,SKIN COLOR,GENDER or SEXUAL ORIENTATION,etc.
Who cares what was the religion of the EUROPEAN INVADERS IN PALESTINE.Those people who comitted crimes against those EUROPEANS should pay the price.Israel has the right to exist either in GERMANY or AUSTRIA.People in PALESTINE don't even know the language spoken by HITLER.What was the justification of bringing those EUROPEANS in PALESTINE.Crimes comited by GERMANS and price payed by PALESTINIANs is as PSYCHOTIC as NORTH KOREA BUILDING NUKES and BUSH ATTACKING IRAQ with no WMDs.
If the EUROPEAN INVADERS in PALESTINE claim that their ancestors used to live in PALESTINE 4000 years ago,they should come up with the DNA test report of the people living there four thousands years ago and get matched their own DNA as evidence.If they don't have any scientific evidence,they should either go back to EUROPE or get KILLED for ILLEGAL OCCUPATION.Once it is proven that their ancestors were really inhabitants of PALESTINE they should be given the PALESTINIAN LAND and the same way,NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS should be given the AMERICAN LAND and all the WHITE AMERICANS should be kicked out of AMERICA.We should practice LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL.

What is it, HumanCitizen, are you following the steps of bushrocks1? That misunderstood poor creature posted the same writing over and over again.

If they wipe out Israel there is also...

The Movement Disorder Surgery program at Israel 's Hadassah Medical Center has successfully eliminated the physical manifestations of Parkinson's disease in a select group of patients with a deep brain stimulation technique. For women who undergo hysterectomies each year for the treatment of uterine fibroids, the development in Israel of the Ex Ablate 2000 System is a welcome breakthrough, offering a noninvasive alternative to surgery.

Israel is developing a nose drop that will provide a five year flu vaccine. These are just a few of the projects that you can help stop with your Israeli boycott.

But let's not get too obsessed with my ducal research, there are other ways you can make a personal sacrifice with your anti-Israel boycott
Most of Windows operating systems were developed by Microsoft-Israel.

So, set a personal example. Throw away your computer! Computers should have a sign attached saying Israel Inside. The Pentium NMX Chip technology was designed at Intel in Israel . Both the Pentium 4 microprocessor and the Centrum processor were entirely designed, developed, and produced in Israel .
Voice mail technology was developed in Israel . The technology for the AOL Instant Messenger ICQ was developed in 1996 in Israel by four young Israeli whiz kids.

Both Microsoft and Cisco built their only R. & D. facilities outside the US in Israel. but what have the Muslim nations contributed to the world?
