Former U.S. Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke attended Iran's Holocaust conference. Iran banned any dissenting voices from Holocaust conference by not issuing visas to those folks. I'm sure they were more than happy to have Mr. Duke in attendance. The conference has 67 participants from 30 countries, and probably not one doubter in the bunch. The New York Times reported that Duke, a white supremacist, was expected to claim that Germany built no gas chambers or extermination camps during World War II. Duke said he is not a 'Holocaust questioner', but is simply attending to defend 'free speech'. What a load of crap.
"Depicting Jews as the overwhelming victims of the Holocaust gave the moral high ground to the Allies as victors of the war and allowed Jews to establish a state on the occupied land of Palestine," Duke said, according to the summary of the paper he will deliver, the Times reported. Other attendees include a number of Western Holocaust skeptics who have been prosecuted in Europe for publishing their theories casting doubt on whether 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis or whether gas chambers were ever used.
Khaled Kasab Mahameed, an outspoken Palestinian lawyer, was hoping to challenge Iran's Holocaust deniers conference December 11 and 12 in Tehran. It seems the Iranian Foreign Ministry won't issue him a visa. Mr Mahameed suspects that it was because he has an Israeli passport, but most likely it's because he was 'seeking a personal audience with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian President, to tell him that denials or questioning of “such huge, monstrous horror” harmed the Palestinian cause.'
I feel sure Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will issue a
'balanced report' on the findings of the conference members. I can't
wait. I'm wondering how the AP will report the story. Flopping Aces
has two reports on their latest, using 'sources' that don't even exist
and the reporters who 'quoted' the non-existing source get not fired,
but promoted. Confederate Yankee breaks that story wide open, with images. So much for accurate reporting of anything these days.
