Ahmadinejad: Shoah not Germany's concern    Ynet
1. truth is not up for vote
the german people can vote that they are antisemites, but that doesn't change anything regarding israel. israel is a democracy in the real sense of the word (unlike iran) and that fact trumps just about any accusation that comes from the backwards persians. if the truth be known by a referendum, most of the world show that they despise islam, whether the shi'ite version or the sunni version. thanks to it, we have international terrorism restricting our lives as we travel, not to mention the reality of terror attacks on civilians in our daily lives. murder in the name of religion, yes, let's have a referendum on that shall we?

2. Not anti-semite, friend of Israel
Species of humans can deny God or Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Why it is a big fuss, the truth is known all over Europe.
Paul   (04.11.09)
3. Response
Your right, Ahmadinejad! The Shoah is not a German concern! However, it is a Jewish concern...a concern that it is never allowed to happen again! Kyle

4. wow, Ahmadmonkeynejad is 'better' then Hitler was at it:
just openly bull$hitting away as he goes at knitting together his version of a Final Solution. I doubt he'll know what's hit him after we have. Am Israel Chai!

5. "Why on earth do the European governments
support this regime?" The answer is simple - it is the only viable democracy in the region whilst all the other surrounding regimes, Iran included, are harsh dictatorships. Dictatorships where religion is not free but rather a way of punishment, where any other political or social-cultural ideas are not tolerated, where intolerance is the norm, where killing means honour, where a woman is an object sometimes equated with camels and other times with donkeys, where primitive hoards of people are deliberately kept so for the blood-thirsty politicians to handle in wars and terror attacks, where terrorist islamist politicians (Ahmadinejad included) are looking for the free world to be knelt down. You see, Sir, these are only a few reasons the Germans and Europe still go with Israel.

7. # 2
Millions of Jews were killed in the Holocaust, how should Europe reply to ahmadinejad?

8. And Israel isn't your concern
Seriously - how could it be? Get a life, and go feed your hungry masses.
Global Citizen ,   Israel & USA   (04.11.09)
9. Stop the presses! More Iranian propaganda
No direct quotation of holocaust denial, rather a quotation of the Iranian leader asking why Germany had caused all these problems that the Palestinians suffer to inherit. The "journalist " nonetheless slips in that the Iranian leader, "denied the existence of theHolocaust more than once.." Alas not one such statement in quotations marks! Odd that on American television he acknowledged shoah. The only thing close to accurate here is that he has called for the Israeli administration to be wiped from the face of the map. Something shared by many talkbackers here during the Olmert administration. Ynet articles, opinion pieces and readers are continually asking for the bombing of Iran. But he is the bad guy right?This imperative to continually be liberal with the truth on the part of Israelis is troubling and morally repugnant.

10. "Shoah not Germany's concern" shows Ahmadinejad's ignorance!
He's an ignorant blinkered little man in every way and as dangerous as a rabid dog. Mike

11. I AM SORRY,REDBOURNE.................#10
Just because he says something YOU don't like does not make him ignorant.Mahmoud Ahmednejad is a learned person and if you were to talk to your OWN people,there is nothing wrong in hearing him out.Logic applies here,my friend.Venting out your feelings does not give a solution to a problem.

12. I DID NOT BOTHER TO READ THIS ARTICLE TO THE END.
IT IS MEANINGLESS TO READ ABOUT SUCH A FOOL AND IDIOT SUCH AS THE IRANIAN PRESIDENT. IT IS WRITTEN / =A KING WHO LISTENS TO LYING TALK, HIS SERVANTS AR AL UNGODLY -!!!. GO TO HELL IRAN. Orao.
ORAO STRANKA. ,   TSARIGRAD u SRBIA.   (04.11.09)
13. Iranian strategy: keep repeatig lies
... and the bigger the better. Some weak minds (not well educated arabs particularly) in Europe will think he may tell the truth. This strategy was used by the nazis and it worked perfectly well : Ahmanidejab is using the same strategy. He repeats constantly the same big lies again and again. It sounds so unbelievable that he may succeed particularly in Germany where people have a bigger tendancy to accept lies because some people people may reject what Germany did in WW2 unfortunately. The solution to fight him is tough. I think we should not to say "this guys is a liar" but we should rather take him seriously (even if he is a pathological liar) and confronts him to his own contradiction very seriously and calmly.

14. to 11 are you saying that the holocaust didn't happen?
Give a yes or no answer for simplicity without obfuscating it with long drivel response...

15. Shoah not Germany's concern

16. #11 HOW CAN ANYONE TALK TO PEOPLE WHO RE-WRITE HISTORY??????
NO LOGIC BUT UROWN   (04.11.09)
17. What a low-life. Deserves only contempt - he's the warmonger
Honestly, where can all this end up but with war? This man and his country claiming to be peaceful are doing nothing but the opposite. Those comments are complete and direct proof that there is no accommodation for Israel at all - two-state solution or any solution . Full Stop.

19. #11 Ahmandinejad is a learned person?
Nobody here is venting our feelings, we're disgusted and outraged at blood libels over and over again--there's a difference! Ahmandinejad isn't a learned person, he's setting up a blood libel in order to justify nuking Israel! First Hitler came up with a very simple answer to Germany losing WW 1 and the devastating economic collapse that resulted in the late 1920's and early 1930's--it was all the fault of a Jewish conspiracy! A massive anti-Semitic campaign on part of the Nazi party allowed them to win the vote. Once in power, they removed all German Jews' rights and forced the firing of Jews from all universities, theatres, orchestras, movie companies, etc. And that was just the start, the final act was the Nazi round up of the entire Jewish population from every European country and exterminate them! If WW II hadn't happened, every Jew in Europe would have been killed! Which means I wouldn't have been born if my relatives hadn't been able to flee from Europe! So Mahood you make me vomit when you say Ahmandinejad is a learned person! He is now trying to justify WW II was the fault of the Jews! You know, they same people who during the exact period of time where either hiding for their lives, fighting Nazi as partisans or being mass murdered on a daily basis! In his half-assed attempt in order to relieve German's from their past, he's saying the Jews deserved it, don't me believe--vote on it and see how many of you hate the Jews! This is beneath contempt of any civilization and furthermore, he's just trying to get the Germans to believe they didn't do anything wrong! Somehow, the Zionists were behind a master plan to cause WW II, have half the Jewish European population liquidated--all this so that the world would give Jews 10% of the former British Mandated territory of Palestine (i.e 80% went to make Jordan and of the 20% left, half was to make another Arab state)! Oh yeah that's brilliant logic! Mahood, obviously you're an Muslim import to England, why are you living there if you came from a land of a perfect Islamic paradise? You're a hypocrite! You're the result of a Muslim education (i.e. taught in school all the wonderful Jewish blood libels and were instructed that judgment day won't happen until all good Muslims kill every last Jew), you were taught to memorize the Koran, to believe in Shira law, etc. But for some reason as soon as you could you applied to get the hell out of your country (most likely on a student visa) and now you expect the British to be respectful to you as a Muslim! Even though you wanted to get out of your country, you now want to establish Islamic law in your adopted country! I have no respect for you nor for your opinion! Your opinion is that of an Islamic hypocrite and that of an indoctrinated anti-Semite (from your country of origin)! You like your hero Ahmandinejad are not learned persons!

20. THE TRAGEDY OF PALESTINIAN PEOPLE IS THAT THEY WERE EGYPTIAN
JORDANIANS, SYRIANS ETC. NOT THAT LONG AGO, BUT NOW ARE CONSIDERED REFUGEEES IN THESE COUNTRIES. in a survay during the mandate 1931, it was discovered that the moslems of palestine were also speaking albanian, afgan, persian and even portugeze in their daily lives. prof.mahmud yazbak in his study, confirms the mandate accounts about arab immigration, and found that moslem population of haifa increased by 80% between 1931 to 1947.a study of um el fahem in 1943 showed that out of 2800 residents 1400 were of egyptian descent, 900 from arabian descent and 500 transjordanian descent (joan peters)

21. A question to Mahmood
You sound like a liberal to me. How can you support the values of Islamic Revolution which are very far away from the freedoms of speech, mind and religion?
Ze'ev ,   Haifa   (04.11.09)
22. Ahmadinejad
Ahmadinejad is a clown. He may be fooling the rest of the world especially the naive & gullible european's but Israel will deal with the nuclear threat . Watch this space !

23. Evading the Truth
Mr A can never admit that there is a historical claim by the Jewish people to the land of the Bible or that Jews have lived there for thousands of years---as for the Muslims who lived in the area there were organized by tribe or clan---the fact is Mr A can never admit Jews lived here because to do so would admit he's wrong---

24. he's mad enough to think there were no jews or zionists in
palestine before ww2   (04.11.09)
25. jews are from judea(palestine) like persians are from persia
(04.11.09)
26. Iranian & Ahmadinejad
The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is not representing majority of Iranians. All true Iranians recognize and respect all Israelis and their country and remarks made by Iran's president were his personal opinion and do NOT reflect the opinion of Iranian people, we should distinguish between the Iranian people and those who are ruling Iran. Long Live Israel, Long Live Iran

27. germans dont hate israel

Well said Paul. I have always been wondering the same thing.
Mark Wilson ,   USA   (04.11.09)
29. to #11
If denying one of the most well documented events in the history of mankind makes you a learned person, I'd rather be uneducated.
dumbfounded ,   USA   (04.11.09)
30. #19 Larry
How do you know that Mahmood was not born in GB Larry? Or that he wasn't educated in a public school? Ahmadinejad is just speaking the truth, just as you believe Mark Regev or Avi Liebovich always speak the truth. "The Hollocaust" has become a brand name or a marketing tool.
