NCRI - Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, mullahs’ president reiterated his doubt
about the Holocaust according to media reports in Iran on Tuesday.
"If the killing of Jews in Europe is true and the Zionists are being
supported because of this excuse, why should the Palestinian nation pay
the price?" the state television's Web site quoted Ahmadinejad speaking
to an Islamic conference in Tehran.
To undermine efforts for peace in the Middle East, Ahmadinejad was
quoted as saying: "The West's policy has always been in favor of the
Zionist regime and to the detriment of the Islamic world. It can't be a
judge or mediator now.”
In a press conference in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, earlier this month,
Ahmadinejad also called for Israel to be moved to Europe. His call
provoked widespread international outrage.
Ahmadinejad has been unapologetic about taking Iran on a more openly
defiant course, insisting on Iran's right to develop its nuclear
program and often using rhetoric reminiscent of the 1980s heyday of the anti-Shah Revolution.
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has ultimate say on
all matters, has backed Ahmadinejad's calls for Israel's elimination.
Alarmed by the ongoing policy of appeasement by the West, Mr. Mohammad
Mohaddessin, chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National
Council of Resistance of Iran said on December 10: “At a time when the
president of the mullahs’ regime demagogically threatens regional and
global peace and tranquility during the summit of the Organization of
Islamic Conference and calls for the establishment of a global Islamic
empire, any hesitation in referring Tehran's nuclear file to the UN
Security Council for imposing comprehensive sanctions, will move the
region and the world closer to a tragedy.”
