Iran challenges Europe to hand over Holocaust 'proof'
Feb 06 5:36 AM US/Eastern





An Iranian government-sponsored body set up to probe the veracity of the Holocaust has challenged Europe to hand over documents about the mass slaughter of Jews in World War II.

Mohammad Ali Ramin, the head of the "World Holocaust Foundation" created after Iran's controversial Holocaust conference last year, said Austria, Germany and Poland in particular should supply documents.

"They should hand over the proof for the dossier on the organized massacre of Jews in Europe during World War II to the independent international fact-finding committee affiliated to this foundation," the IRNA state news agency quoted him as saying on Tuesday.

1. I gotta hand it to the guys in charge of Iran for their inconsistency.
They take it on faith that "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" is nonfiction beyond refute, and you could present them with the ashes from Auschwitz and they would still doubt that the Holocaust took place. Lewis Carroll couldn't have dreamed up such a cast of characters.

2. I'm betting the "Midget Mayor" President won't last too much longer
The Supreme Leader and Guardian Council can't put up with this horseshit too much longer.

3. So if it's proven, what next?
If it were to be proven to the satisfaction of Iran, what would it mean to them?

4. This European says "bite me"
Just because Shrub wants to bomb you doesn't give you license to be a major-league asshole

5. Huh? I don't understand. If the holocaust is "all true" this shouldn't be
a difficult request to fulfill, right?

Also, considering the jeopardy that Iran faces at the moment, I'm confused as to why they would make THIS REQUEST? One would THINK that other requests would have more bearing/importance? Perhaps they think this IS the most important? History and all of that stuff.....:shrug:

7. Why aren't they asking the Russians?
They are the ones that have all the data taken after WWII.

8. Gee. Perhaps they could just email Iran a few trillion links with proof.
But then, would it ever really be enough? :eyes:
