 NCRI - Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s remarks about Israel.were rejected by all
German political parties represented in the Bundestag in a joint
statement issued on Friday.
The German deputies condemned mullahs’ president’s comments on the
Holocaust and Israel’s relocation as "totally unacceptable" and
"incompatible with the norms of the international community and the
history of the 20th and 21st century."
The joint statement was signed by the Christian Democrats, the
Christian Social Union, the Social Democrats, the Free Democrats, the
Left Party and the Greens.
The lawmakers called on the German government to continue to "oppose
any policy that disputes the right of Israel to exist and denies the
Holocaust."
In a spate of recent verbal attacks on Israel, Ahmadinejad has
alternately said that Israel should be relocated to German or Austrian
soil and that the country must be moved as far away as Alaska.
The leaders of the European Union on Friday condemned his outbursts,
saying in draft conclusions at their summit in Brussels that his
remarks "have no place in a civilised political debate."
