alsky ,   Toronto   (04.24.13)
their goals are the same.
2. Holocaust denial leftist style
Schmidlap ,   Toronto   (04.24.13)
Many of the hard left anti-Zionist/Israel types I've come across may not be out and out holocaust deniers, but they do say the Jews/Zionists exaggerate the numbers, use the Shoah to squeeze political and monetary gain, and stress the non-Jewish victims of WW11.
3. Sounds like a smart guy
aiman ,   jersey   (04.25.13)
Maybe somebody the world can deal with hopefuly
4. Good PR
Daniel ,   Netherlands   (04.25.13)
You cannot believe Iranians even when they say good morning. But i agree, Ahmadinejad was an excellent PR for how evil is a regime that hates women, hung gays and torture their own opposition. The message of this guy is: being openly antisemitic is damaging our social profile. So let's continue hating women, gays and torture our opposition ina more accomodating way that is less sensitive for Western standard. A proposes a charming evil

Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (04.25.13)
Doesn't seem like he's that much brighter than the other one. Just a tad bit more clever. This Jew is a Zionist.

10. Iranian denial of Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state.
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (04.24.13)
...and Iranian denial of 4000 years of Jewish history in Israel and the Iranian deceitful, insincere, malevolent ideologically motivated portrayal of Jews as "foreigners" and "colonialists" contrary to history and international law, does not strenghten Iran's credibility either. Accepting the Jews is a package deal. You must unconditionally and whole heartedly without exceptions accept the Jews as a nation among the nations, and pretending to show "sympathy" for Jewish suffering during the Holocaust while attacking Israel's right to exist and Jewish historical claims and legitimacy in Israel will not be tolerated or ignored by us. A knife in the back is still a knife in the back - even if you smile at us.
11. Holocaust denial is not Iran's policy. Holocaust #2 is.
Jake ,   USA   (04.24.13)
12. He is a Anti Semite Too
Bill Stein ,   USA   (04.25.13)
As Martin Luther King said if your against Zionism your Anti Semetic
13. For once
(04.25.13)
Can Israel deny our enemies right to exist?????!!!!!! Judiasm is only a religion??? The world has no idea how to classify Jewish culture as there is no parallel.
14. Iranian Denial
Al ,   US   (04.25.13)
His words are directed to the world at large and he could careless what you think. As for the legetimacy of Israel The will not happen until Israel resolve the injustices it has commited against the Palestinians in the last 60 years. That include the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza and those in the diaspora. They were displaced by the creation of the state of Israel and their properties were confiscated by the state.
15. #11. Iran's policy is Israel denial.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (04.25.13)
16. Stop with the 4000 year thing and speak to the modern realit
Avramele   (04.25.13)
We are strong enough to stop arguing the distant past and simply asserting that a 6 million Hebrew speaking people are here to stay in our ancestral homeland and no power has the right or might to send us elsewhere. History, legalities and theology cuts many ways. The realities of 2013 speak two truths: the Jews are here to stay as a free and independent people in our own land and at the same time there is a Palestinian people whose political future is between the river and the sea as well. To me that can only mean a two state accommodation, the fanatics in Gaza, Jenin, Tehran,Hebron and Beit El be damned
17. Holocaust denial
David ,   Chevy chase, USA   (04.25.13)
Notice he didn't say it was immoral to promote Holicaust denial, just bad politics!!
18. He's the same as Ahmadinejad
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (04.25.13)
His goal's are the same. Iran will still be a sponsor of terrorism, interfere in Syria & Iraq, hold it's population hostage under sharia law, try to takeover the Mideast, develop nukes & destroy Israel.
19. Iran
henry tobias ,   maale adumim, israel   (04.25.13)
I don't think this guy is a convert to Zionism, just wiser and wilier than the other guy.
20. #10 - very well said
L. Rose ,   Canada   (04.25.13)
21. Holocaust denial
Ben Dover ,   Melbourne,   (04.25.13)
This Iranian better watch himself or he will end up dead. Already a fatwa is being formulated to give him a kick in the Niagara Falls. Have the Iranians suddenly realised that not everyone falls for Ahmedinajar's bull tish ?
22. After living in Iran for 20 years,I say this is
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (04.25.13)
Another garbage from the same bunch of suit wearing mullahs. They disguise themselves as liberals or democrats and such. But deep down he is been schooled to act and talk like a moderate or whatever the heck we call it these days. This idiot will have to kiss the head towel head or he will be sent away as well. The basic ideology is still the same for the mullahs. They know that they can't beat Israel. Now, they are changing tactics and giving garbage back to the same morons who voted for them. So they will go and vote again for the same idiots. Once you get the mullahs out of the government then you can have a normal government. Otherwise nothing has changed and will not change.
23. Sounds to me
PaulD ,   Jerusalem   (04.25.13)
like an Iranian-antisemite with a better strategy to achieve the destruction of the Jews. He is not saying anything different from the present PM, Jews are still the cause of his problems. Only the tactics are being criticized. Also, regarding comments made by his dead Iranian Messiahs, they were wretched Jew-Haters as the present PM.

k ,   US   (04.25.13)

28. As a devout follower of Ahmadinejads rants
Tim ,   Brighton   (04.25.13)
That's not all he said about the Holocaust The demented 'entity' was on record as saying 'The Germans of today have no shame and should show more respect for Hitler' 'The Russians made a big mistake in trying to resist Hitler' 'We will destroy Zionism..one Jew at a time' 'We will call Pakpours Tank Army..Pakpours Panzers'
