I dont know if Khamenei quotes was mistranslated, invented or were true. Yesterday came a story about 9 Jews killed fleeing Iran in the 1990's. It seems that Netanyahu PR machine is trying too hard to publish negative stories about Iran daily, in order to influence the nuclear negotiation. It is too obvious, condescending, and risk devaluing the message. Stop crying wolf Netanyahu.

Amazing! Here we hear of someone in power and position - a spiritual leader none the less - who denies a fact so well known and documented that one wonders how incredibly evil they must be to spit in the faces of the millions of human victims who were cruelly murdered not more than 70 years ago. This is Amalek.

When the concentration and death camps were liberated General Eisenhower insisted the local Germans view what was behind the barbed wire -- and the American Army filmed what they found, as did the Brits and Soviets. Eisenhower said some day someone will try to deny what happened. Khamanei seesm to be that someone.

If Holocaust did not happen then who did the Iranian diplomat Abdol Hossein Sardari saved from Hitler? For decades after the holocaust Iranians bragged about him being righteous and saving Jews from Nazis. Similarli Necdet Kent and Selahattin Ulkumen Muslim Turkish diplomats saved Jews from the Holocaust and Turks brag about it in every occasion. So I guess these Iranian and Turkish Muslims never existed they too are a myth and therefore shall we say that there are no righteous humanists among Muslims, Turks Iranians?

The eminent Jewish philosopher, Emil Fackenheim, offers a concise outline of the distinguishing characteristics of the Holocaust in his book, To Mend the World: The "Final Solution" was designed to exterminate every single Jewish man, woman and child. The only Jews who would have conceivably survived had Hitler been victorious were those who somehow escaped discovery by the Nazis. Jewish birth (actually mere evidence of "Jewish blood") was sufficient to warrant the punishment of death. Fackenheim notes that this feature distinguished Jews from Poles and Russians who were killed because there were too many of them, and from "Aryans" who were not singled out unless they chose to single themselves out. With the possible exception of Gypsies, he adds, Jews were the only people killed for the "crime" of existing. The extermination of the Jews had no political or economic justification. It was not a means to any end; it was an end in itself. The killing of Jews was not considered just a part of the war effort, but equal to it; thus, resources that could have been used in the war were diverted instead to the program of extermination. The people who carried out the "Final Solution" were primarily average citizens. Fackenheim calls them "ordinary job holders with an extraordinary job." They were not perverts or sadists. "The tone-setters," he says, "were ordinary idealists, except that their ideals were torture and murder." Someone else once wrote that Germany was the model of civilized society. What was perverse, then, was that the Germans could work all day in the concentration camps and then go home and read Schiller and Goethe while listening to Beethoven

I claim my right to freedom of speech. Mohammed was a pedophile.

He just makes himself look like a fool by talking like this. He should visit Israel and chat to some of the survivors.

you might have a big gun but instead tiny Brains.

of Israel. It's the Persian new year, nothing to do with jews, with Israel, with the Holocaust. But still he can't stand it and HAS to express his views and satisfy the audiance.

so it never happens again. So no ayatollah assahola can deny it happened, or make light of the death of over 60% of the Jews in Europe.

Not quite right. You are in Sweden. Then, of course, I am free to tell you to go ... well, let's just say it is unpleasant. It does not mean I am constrained to not contradict you or, respect your opinion. But if there were one thing where freedom of speech could be curbed it would doubtless be Holocaust denial.

you are free, always, to have your opinions, but not free to have your "made up facts".

The Great Spiritual Leader of Iran cannot imagine that an Holocaust ever occurred and. he only thinks how to make his dreams true provoking one

Holocaust denial is not a new concept. It's been around since the end of W.W.II. Brief history lesson. Now, reality. The attack on Iran by Israel is coming. Try to deny your way out of that predicament. Happy New Year, oh iman.

It is certainly fitting that this Iranian hater choose Mashad to spit his venom. Mashad of course is the home of the Iranian Inquisition. the nostalgic place vvhere the Moslem leaders of yesterday forced Jevvs to convert to Islam under penalty of death. .. Yes.. it is back to the bad old days.

one wonders how khamenei can imagine that rational people believe his absurd propaganda lies. more importantly, one wonders how obama can negotiate with this holocaust denying, genocidal terror regime and expect israel to follow him. obama loves the sia terror regime while he denigrates the jewish state and her leaders. history will not be kind to obama.

And with Husseins help they will get them.....

the longer he is in power, the more people, he will kill. in the 1930s, the world did nothing and the full bill came due in 1939. Catherine Ashston and Obama give new meaning to feckless worthlessness in dealing with dictators. There is only one answer, start sinking every tanker leaving Iran and blow their pipelines until these criminal barbarians land on the ash heap of history where they belong.

if ignorance is bliss.

Allah is not God. Farrokh's vengeance will not come from Allah! Remember, Allah can't defend himself from teddy bears and cartoons and has to get his followers to do his dirty work. Allah and truth have absolutely nothing in common.

#11 not mine.

Belated Happy Purim to Ayatollah Haman Khomeini. Not much changes in Persia in 2,500 years, but don't let it go nuclear.

In the US, the Constitution's First Amendment prevents prosecuting anybody for whatever he or she says. So, somebody who denies the Holocaust, is ridiculed, but can do so without harm. Only in Europe - still under the trauma of this industrial-size genocide - did they decide to curb the limits of expression, and they do so also in cases of Islamophobia (I regard both as unnecessary). But even in Europe does nobody get stoned, or hanged, for expressing an outrageous view, whereas in Iran people are tortured and killed for expressing basic rights and claiming basic freedoms. And the one who suffer are the Iranians, so what are you gleaming about? And only in Iran you can find a government which denies the last Holocaust while planning the next.

grand mufti either then who participated in the imaginary holocaust. if there was no such thing as the grand mufti then there must be no such thing as islam if there is no such thing as islam there must be no such thing as mohammed if there is no such thing as mohammed there must be no such thing as allah. there you go. arab logic

Well said Ian.

President Peres should invite the Iyatola to join him on a trip to Auchvitz and have a German guide describ the events that took place at that location. let us put the once on the Iranian deniers. For a change, He will certainly refuse. So what?
