Iranian President

Iran's President is continuing to say things out loud that have been said for many years by others who were even given awards in the past.

They just did not say the same things as loudly and clearly.

So why NOW are people finally reacting as they should have when the Grand Mufti, Arafat and others have said it?

And why HERE do we still not want to hear it (recent example is Princeton's cancellation of the appearance of three FORMER terrorists who want to get the message out, including Walid Shoebat) ?

Read the entire article here, though I have to say that I was surprised to find it first on CNN
The video of his actually saying it should be found here.

Equally disturbing to me is the yahoo news coverage, however, which begins with this statement:

***
Germany, Russia and Switzerland joined the European Union on Friday in a chorus of condemnation of the Iranian president for suggesting the Holocaust might not have taken place and that Israel should be moved to Europe.

***
The yahoo news story also ends this way:

Ahmadinejad's remarks were reminiscent of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's proposal in 1990 -- on the eve of a massive exodus of Soviet Jews -- that the Jews be given "an alternative homeland in the Baltic Republics, Alaska, Alsace-Lorraine or on the Volga River. These are Jewish areas, not Palestine."

"By what right are Jews emigrating from their countries to Palestine? If the Jews are being persecuted in their countries this does not give them the right to persecute other people, namely the Palestinians," he told an Inter-Parliamentary Union conference in Nicosia.

***

That article is written by Louis Charbonneau and put out by Reuters.

So what upset them most--that he denies the Holocaust...
or that he suggests that they create Israel in Europe?
