academics. His anti-Israeli and anti-U.S. stances have brought out crowds of supporters during visits to Asia and
Africa over past years.” I have to say that after the initial excitement news coverage abruptly came to an end.
The most striking fact that the agency tried to overlook was that among Ahmedinejad’s supporters there
were six Jews, two of which were rabbis. Moreover, they were American citizens and members of the ultraconservative
Neturei Karta order of Hasidic Jews from New York! These people were members of the “Jewish
Union Against Zionism” who oppose Zionism and the phenomenon they call “genocide religion” and they assert
that the founding of Israel was a violation of the Jewish Law.
(I) Name of the conference: "Review of the Holocaust: Global Vision."
Members of the Neturei Karta order, the Jews wearing traditional dark clothing and broad-rimmed hats
with curls hanging down from their temples in Tehran streets are ultra-Orthodox Hasidis whom we have watched
from time to time beating on themselves at the Crying Wall in Jerusalem.
They participated in the December 11th “Review of the Holocaust: Global Vision” conference, which
aimed to review data regarding the “Official Genocide” phenomenon, with rosettes they attached to their chests
reading “I am a Jew, not a Zionist.” One of the prominent leaders of the delegation, Rabbi David Weiss, asserts
that Palestine does not belong to the Jews and that it should be returned to the Palestinians. They do not deny the
genocide, but they are very upset with the “Zionists who unashamedly and aggressively exploit the Genocide to
oppress a people” and they call them “liars.” Moreover, for them Palestine is the place where “the Messiah will
return and proclaim his kingship” and where the Jews’ God “Jehovah and his Temples will be freely worshiped
together.” Consequently, there can be no Jewish state that does not take “God’s word or the Tevrat as its basis;”
in other words, there can be no Jewish state before the Messiah comes.
Zionist organizations, however, did not want to wait for the Messiah’s “return to the promised land.”
When in 1943 the British prohibited immigration to Palestine, which was under their control, and Hitler’s
massacres were thus facilitated, they took up armed resistance. Up to five years after this Palestinian lands were
divided into two states: one Arab state (Jordan) and one Jewish state (Israel). With the reasoning, “It is better to
live in real “goyim (non-Jewish)” land than to live among Jewish goyims,” the Hasidis did not immigrate to
Israel like other Jews. According to Hasidic leaders of that time, in the name of Jehovah, Ben Gurion was
deceiving people, leading them astray, making them slaves to worldly things and defiling the land promised to
the Jews by implementing Christian methods. Consequently, it is mandatory for them to oppose the Zionists, to
stop “goyims who call themselves Jews,” and to halt those who have turned from Jehovah’s path.
Decoding the “genocide blackmail”…
The main reason for the Iran Conference’s finding a place in the international media or, more correctly,
the AP’s not being able to overlook it must be the participation of the Neturei Karta group. Otherwise, as we
well know, neither problems experienced by Adelaide, nor the Institute for Historical Revision (IHR), nor
similar anti-Zionist organizations, nor activists like Prof. Faurisson easily get coverage in the Turkish media, let
alone the international media. As a matter of fact, the names of participants in the Tehran Conference were kept
secret until the last minute and then announced in a surprise way that could not have been overlooked. Actually,
the Institute for Historical Revision is not an NGO to be taken lightly. Founded in California in 1978, its purpose
is “to criticize history with data” and “as an organization dedicated to truths and authenticity, to continue the
tradition of correcting history.” According to their statement, “The IHR is usually put in the incorrect position of
a ‘denier of genocide’ and its aims are distorted.” However, these slander campaigns are totally contrary to the
truth and the Institute does not “deny genocide.” Moreover, none of the responsible academicians who lived the
20th century would fail to acknowledge the great disaster the Jews encountered at the beginning of the Second
World War. Together with this, over the years the IHR has published many detailed books questioning some
factors of the biased genocide killings story and many investigative articles; it uncovered a number of
exaggerations and lies. The reason the IHR publications favor this subject is that it plays an enormous role in the
cultural and political life of most of the world. As a not very insignificant number of Jewish academicians also
accept, the “genocide assault” is the most prominent gun in the Jewish-Zionist arsenal. If there were no
genocide, Israel’s policies would be unacceptable and, especially, it is the reason for everyone looking the other
way in regard to sizable extortion taken from European countries and companies. A few brave Jewish writers
protest what they call the “genocide cult,” “genocide extortion,” ‘genocide-mania” and “genocide industry.”
There are famous academicians among the IHR’s writers like Roger Garaudy, David Irving, Harry Elmer
Barnes, Paul Rassinier and Fred Leuchter. They have been threatened with death as far as can be understood by a
number of groups the FBI designates as terrorist including the Jewish Defense League. Once their offices and
depots were set on fire and tens of thousands of documents were burned. They are constantly under attack by
Zionist groups like the ADL and Simon Weisentahl Center.
