hiver - Historical Revisionism by Vrij Historisch Onderzoek

——————————————————————> Conseils de révisions / hiver winter 2007
Mohammed cartoon controversy, in which thousands of Muslims took to the streets in early 2006 in
protest of cartoons in a Danish newspaper depicting the prophet Mohammed, the Iranian government
sponsored a Holocaust cartoon "contest" that sought entries deriding Jews and mocking the
Holocaust. First prize in the contest went to a Moroccan cartoonist for an image showing the Israelis
building a wall around the Al Aksa Mosque in Jerusalem. Superimposed on the panels was an image
of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz. Holocaust denial is founded on attempts to distort the
documentary record of World War II, and although it has been spreading throughout the Middle East
since the 1980s, the main producers of Holocaust denial continue to be Westerners.
For this reason, Ahmadinejad's effort to promote Holocaust denial has relied heavily on
importing deniers from outside the Middle East. In late 2005 and early 2006, the semi-official Iranian
Mehr News agency ran a series of interviews with Western Holocaust deniers. In March 2006,
Australian Holocaust deniers Fredrick Toben and Richard Krege traveled to Iran to lecture on the
Holocaust at three Iranian universities, and gave interviews to the Iranian radio network IRIB. Ignoring
the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the long history of Zionism, and the principle of Jewish selfdetermination,
Ahmadinejad believes that Israel owes its continued existence to the guilt and
sympathy the Holocaust invokes among the nations of the world. He believes that if he can prove that
the Holocaust is a historical fiction, then not only will Israel's legitimacy disappear, but it will be
revealed that Jews are frauds and imposters who tricked the world into giving them a state they did
not 'deserve.'

The Holocaust Conference Shames Iran
by Amil Imani
We have been telling the world that the present clique of Islamofascists ruling Iran is not truly
Iranian in world-view. And with each passing day, fresh evidence mounts. The recent gathering of
some of the world's fascists in Tehran, at the invitation of the Islamic Republic of Iran's President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, provides further support for our claim.
Iranians have never had any animosity toward the Jewish people. In fact, our friendship with
the Jews goes back thousands of years. You have to be a fascist to pick on any people, with no
justification at all, to persecute them and aim to annihilate them. And true Iranians are among the
world's staunch supporters of universal human rights.
The circus in Tehran, billed as a "conference," was nothing more than a disgusting attempt by
the savage inheritors of Muhammad's dogma of hate to continue in his tradition of wanton attacks on
all unbelievers, particularly the Jews.
It is said that you can tell a great deal about people by the company they keep. And who was
given a front seat at this "conference" Arguably one of the world's greatest racist scums: former Ku
Klux Klan Imperial Wizard David Duke. In order to show his hateful fiber and simultaneously
ingratiate himself to his newly discovered petrodollar-rich fellow fascists, the fool Wizard told the 70
or so participants, "The Zionists have used the Holocaust as a weapon to deny the rights of the
Palestinians and cover up the crimes of Israel." Music to the ears of the hate-driven mullahs and
fascists of the world.
Then, the Wizard told the Associated Press, "The Holocaust is the device used as the pillar of
Zionist imperialism, Zionist aggression, Zionist terror and Zionist murder."
You are excused if you dismiss the "conference" as an inconsequential forum, since any event
that would have David Duke as its star attraction is bound to be nothing more than an instance of
psychopathic bigotry. However, rest assured that this is not the case. The shameless Wizard and his
handlers have other "luminaries" working with them side-by-side to demonstrate conclusively that the
Holocaust is a myth - and that the Jews will have to experience it again to make it real, to the delight of
these children of Hitler.
The impish Ahmadinejad, a man called "monkey" by Iranians, opened Tuesday's session by
thanking God that the Zionist regime was to expire soon: "Its lifetime will be over and their interests,
as well as reputation, will be endangered."
