31. What a bunch of air heads
Joe ,   Phila. USA   (12.06.06)
experts of hate, injustice and lies....Sad world we have to live in.
32. EVERY NON-JEW
Brant ,   Hilton Head, SC   (12.06.06)
TO: Every non-Jew who knows the Holocaust happened: While there is no legal reason for you to do so, silence in the face of this outrage is questionable. Iran makes a mockery of this terrible pain of our Jewish brothers and sisters and, the Jews in turn are too small to stop this. We are big enough to stop this. Please, flood your daily papers' editors (their emails are readily available) with statements against this horrific behavior by Iran.
33. What he doesn't understand
Micha   (12.06.06)
Is that Israel is the homeland of the Jews. Regardless of the Holocaust, this is still the homeland of the Jews and the rightful people are currently living in Israel. In fact, the Israel of Jews includes much of Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan and so the Iranian "president" should be pleased to see that the current Jewish homeland is an abbreviated version of what it should be. It doesn't matter how many people these fools believe died in the Holocaust, it still doesn't change who the rightful owner of the land is. Wars have been fought. History has been made. We move on now. Are the arab people not satisfied with how much land they actually control? This is the work of people who will never be satisifed, regardless of the facts on the ground. Why don't we measure the size of his testicles and this should be justification for whether he be hanged or not. It makes as much sense as his conference. If his balls are 3 cubic cm then he should give Israel some land, if not, then he should give Syria some land. If he in fact has a banana shoved up his ass, then it should be determined how many can dine off it from the Iran hinterland. This "man" is so obsessed with the Jews that he is truly delusional. He really does think similarly to shitler and for the same reason that that piece of crap should have been eliminated long ago, so too, this piece of garbage will be eliminated. You want us all dead? Then you will be the first to go along with your supporters.
34. why is this maniac still alive?

35. IRAN IS EVIL!
stude ham ,   outremont, canada   (12.06.06)
There is no question that not only is Iran run by absolute madmen it is now entered into the realm of pure evil. ammy must resurrect hitler and shake hands. soon the world will lose millions of its children to the mass insanity and murderous methods of this regime.
36. please
jerry   (12.06.06)
let's hope this conference ends such brazen stupidity coming out of ahmadinejad's mouth.
37. Holocaust

38. holocaust
Wesley ,   Tehran,Iran   (12.06.06)

39. it's time to turn iran into a parking lot.

'reccomend' this post if you agree
40. Jews of Iran
EZ ,   California   (12.06.06)
"The Jews in Iran live in peace with other Iranians..." What a load #%*&! The Jews in Iran have fled (>80% of them) since the Ayatollahs came into power. Both rich and poor. Iran should be ashamed of its treatment of its own Jews, but instead it decides to fund a holocaust denial conference. Iran reaches new lows every day.
41. Was there a Holocaust
Abraham ,   Israel   (12.06.06)
So was to happen one day! We know the conclusions before 'the discussions and arguments'. Some one wants to change the history and he will do so. I don't understand why Britain, France, Australia, Canada, Russia, Austria, Turkey, Bahrain, Tajikistan, and Algeria are participating at all? I understand role of Syria; poor fellow he has to participate and say "yes", he has no choice. Do the rest of the human communities (exception of course; only that of Ahmadinejad as one individual) believe that he is trying denying the history!? Including ministers in his cabinet? If he denies what happened just 60 years a go, how he trusts what happened 1600 years a go? An argument about 'Palestinian's suffering' is linked to the 'Holocaust'! They are suffering of their own accord, because their own brothers including Iranian want them to suffer. All Middle-east nations are employing millions of jobs to the rest of the world; but deny handful of Palestinians to step on to their soils! On the other hand Israel is allowing at list half of Palestinians to find themselves some work on Israeli soils and are paid cash immediately for their work (of course only if they behave themselves.)
42. iran
motti lapid ,   ramat chen   (12.06.06)
well, it is a chance for them to tell the truth, that 6 million were killed in Europe.
43. My dear Ahmadi garbage
Yiannis Kareklas ,   Athens - Greece   (12.06.06)
Is this really what Islam is teaching? The hate of the jews. You seem to forget that it is Abraham ( the jew and our ancestor)who got the mother of Ismael pregnant , you forget also that Ismael is Abraham's son. Not recognizing this fact is denaturing Islam and blaspheming it. Jews and Moslems are cousins, why all this hate ? Without the Jews , you are nothing and have no reason to exist.
44. Elie Wiesel should go and Shame Them All
A.R. ,   Los Angeles   (12.06.06)
45. to all talkbackers: Just shut up!
cleo ,   cairo   (12.06.06)
Mohammadi addressed opponents of the idea: "The West goes on about free speech but doesn't allow experts to research the question of the Holocaust." "Why do European governments allow insults to the prophet Mohammad but aren't able to handle arguments regarding the Holocaust?"
46. he isnt a luni at all.
megi ,   london   (12.06.06)
he isnt a luni at all. in fact i think he has a very high iq. he is trying to wake up europe antisematisms. and thats the way to do it.
47. The "Holocaust" is a detail in History
Hani ,   Montreal, Canada   (12.06.06)
The world is so damn tired to hear about your holocaust. What about the Chinese holocaust? Armenian holocaust? Wait...What about the MOTHER of all holocausts: The systematic extermination of the Red Indian race at the hands of the "progressive Europeans" including its jewery? Just GET OVER IT. If a conference should be called, its objective should be the simple question: "Til when will world media cease to write about the Jewish holocaust of the 20th century?"
48. Ahmed de Jerk mocks, taunts, sneers @ the Jewish ppl
John ,   NZ   (12.06.06)
I can only think there's only one thing that he wants. That is to have his monkeySSSSS kicked.
49. ok, i THINK i know what Nejad is trying to say.
Khalid   (12.06.06)
I really don't think he's denying the fact that millions of Jews died, at least I hope he's not, because they did in once of the worst tragedies ever. What I DO think he's saying is that WWII saw the deaths of over 50 million people, so why are we single-ing out 6 million Jews and calling it different than the deaths of, say, 3 million Italian, at least 5 million Russians, and God knows how many gypsies and others. So why not call it also a Holocaust to them? I don't know if this is what Nejad is saying, and I'm not here to defend him, but if it's not what he's saying, then it should be what he's saying, because it makes sense, and is worthy of debate.

i sincerely hope you are joking!!! and if you aren't, then i will not be too shocked to find out that in marjayoun and all palestinian territories, the word holocaust was never taught or mentioned. after all, your curriculum is full of jew hating crap and jihadist ideology....not history or facts...just revisionist history, palestinian style.
51. To #30
EZ ,   California   (12.06.06)
No it is not a joke. It was just truncated by mistake. It should read: "The Jews of Iran live in peace with other Iranians in Los Angeles. " The Jews of Iran are no more. Almost all (both rich and poor) escaped after the Ayatollahs came into power. Those who did not escape (20%) are now miserable and live in daily fear.
52. BASTARDS ! WE MUST DESTROY THIS COUNTRY

iran's president, ahmadinejad, is simply a MEGALOMANIAC, driven by religion and hate. he's educated as an engineer, but completely uneducated as to the world around him, its history, its horrors, its wars. he sees himself as god's messanger and the frightening thing is that he believes what he says. it is the stupid ignorant person who is the most dangerous, not the intelligent one. islam leaves no room for personal debate, freedom of thinking and choice, freedom of right to debate and choose what to believe in. it is an autocratic limiting religion under the guise of peace and godliness. if one wonders how ahmadinejad came to be ahmadinejad...just study islam. the answers are all there. and, the countries participating in this debate should be ashamed of themselves. i bet they are sending all tghe holocaust deniers with lots of kakameini information, etc.... to argue for ahmi and his ilk. i can guarantee all the skin heads from germany and france will attend......not much of a representation that is pro jewish or pro israel. if he were serious about the debate, he should have permitted every numbered holocaust survivor from israle and abroad to participate. i bet they would have outnumbered all the skin herad in that conference hall. shame shame shame on you europe!

Hani the Jews will tell of their Holocaust time after time, again and again, until the earth is a safe place for all humanity and holocausts no longer happen. In fact if I were a Muslim I wouldn't be eager to discount and lessen such tragedy and inhumanity. There are a lot of people in a lot of powerful nations who are wondering why the main body of muslims isn't condemning the propensity of their brothers, the Muslim fundamentalist reactionaries to blow $#!+ up--let alone attempting to stop them from killing Jew, Christian and mostly their fellow Muslim. iow it COULD happen to the Muslims too if the US or other superpower were again attacked. So discount and dismiss the Holocaust at your own risk! John, NZ, I'm as pissed off as you about I'm-mad-in-jihad's seemingly foolfool behavior, but what he's doing right now is classic Jew baiting, I've been around quite a few years so I recognize it...so I'd suggest just not 'feeding the trolls'. If we don't take MadMood's frothing seriously he has no reason to continue it. Then perhaps we can speak with a representative of the nation of Iran who can talk sense.

if you are so sick and tired of hearing about the holocaust, take your complaints to ahmadinejad, who insists on constantly talking and obsessing about it. i don't see any jew throwing the issue in your face daily! what i see is jews angered about an idiot and other nations "holocaust experts" who try to deny a basic irefutable historical fact. yes, many nations as well as jews and non jews suffered inside extermination camps. to deny them the right to "remember the horror" or to commemorate it because you are "sick and tired of hearing about it" is disgusting and insensitive. remembering dark pages in world history and the consequences to the perpetrators is a good thing no matter how tired or bored you are with this subject. it helps all learn from the past and avoid future repetition. additionally, many many books have been written about all other "holocausts", indians, aboriginies, chineese, etc...to name a few. these books are sold, talked about and discussed to exhaustion in university classes, courses and panels all over the world. no one is complaining about this. why complain aboujt the holocaust unless you are an antisemetic pig.
56. Iran !Where were you when bosnia-hersia holocaust,
Atilla Karagözoğlu ,   Istanbul   (12.06.06)
many muslims killed in old yugoslavia. (sorry about english.) when you say okey one holocaust it means you say okey to all. you all just f.ucking care about Jews. you hate them. you dont care your religion. let see what will happen in future. IRAN WILL BE REPUBLIC IN 10 YEARS. NOTE THAT.
57. Time to take out the Iranian trash
Diana the Huntress ,   USA   (12.06.06)
While he hosts hate fests, his college graduates can't find work and unemployment and poverty continue to soar in Iran. This is how Yuckmadinejad masks his failures. Iran better dump this piece of trash. He's a humiliation to Iran and a threat to the entire world.
58. :-)
Z ,   USA   (12.06.06)
Yay for free speech.
59. #55 You Missed The Point
Hani ,   Montreal, Canada   (12.06.06)
The point I was trying to get through (again) is that the media today (especially in the West) talks about the Jewish holocaust of the 20th century as if it were the largest and only human extermination scheme. How many Red Indian holocaust museums have been built today in the US, the very land where millions upon millions of Red Indians were slaughtered? How many books have been published about that specific topic (Red Indian extermination) when compared with the Jewish holocaust? Looks to me that Jewish intellectuals and publishers have a grand scheme to monopolize the term "holocaust". And to address your accusations that I am an antisemetic pig, that is an oxymoron since I am an Arab. We are also semites. (Or do you also have a monopoly on this identity?). In the West today the term antisemetism connotes borth anti-jewish and anti-Israel attitudes (Clever, since anti-Zionists are also tagged the same to hide and justify 60 years of Palestinian dispossession). In other words, the term antisemite has been highjacked by today's Jews to promote their own agenda.
60. Atilla Karagözoğlu, The Turkish Biggot
Hani   (12.06.06)
And how come i never hear you talk about the Palestinians' suffering at the hands of your friends in Tel Aviv? We all know what the position of most Turks is towards Israel and the West in general, so quit your diatribe about anything Arab/Iranian/Muslim.
