COMMENTS:
"Its main aim is to create an opportunity for thinkers who cannot express their views freely in Europe about the Holocaust"
This statement was made by an Iranian official about this conference, which really makes me laugh considering how 'open' Iranians are allowed to be with their viewpoints, or obviously, the lack thereof.
There are a variety of reasons for his comments. First, he wants Iran to dominate the middle east. He thinks that if he plays to the prejudice of a good number of people, he can place himself (and Iran) as the true leader of that region. Unfortunately, because many in that region are fed hate propaganda about the Jews, he is seen by some as a "man of the people". More importantly though is that he wants to keep pushing the limit to see what he can get away with (sort of like Hitler did). Every time he does something to antagonize the west and others and gets away with it, he is seen as more powerful because he is standing up against the "Great Satan", etc. A leader of a potentially powerful country (with nukes) who makes threatening statements to other countries should be taken at his word. Iran believes if they get nukes, the US and others will be unable or unwilling to act to prevent Iran's actions in that region. Since much of the world's oil comes through the Persian Gulf, this is obviously a grave strategic problem if Iran gets nukes.
wow, two people vote that the statements need to be made but I see they don't have the nuts to explain themselves. Interesting.
His supporters also hold that the people who occupy Palistine, and more specifically Israel, Are of European decent and not indigenous to the land they occupy. They are foriegn insurgents with no legitimate right to Statehood. It is perceived by the indigenous people there that the USA and EU have wrongfully supported the insurgence and denied the indigenous people (Palistinians), who are the rightful Hiers to the land, the right to be recognized as a State and oppressed by the Zionist State of Israel.
Are they right?
Such people like to rationalize that a prejudice is based on fact, and people can rationalize anything without limit.
And a number of people here on B&W like to think such beliefs are true. Aren't people weird?
Most of them like to remain anonymous, for some reason.
Careful Jappy you'll most likely receive a karma attack for daring to question the Hitler of Iran.

Like Israel?
I notice that their leaders like to make lots of inflammatory statements threatening others as well.
Yes, just like Israel. And like the UK, France, the US, Russia, China, etc.. The only difference is that the countries currently possessing nukes haven't publicly proposed the total destruction of another country and it's people.
There is no doubt in my mind that Iran would use a nuclear weapon against Israel, no doubt. And I have no doubt they would do it in a terrorist manner thru the Hamas or some other murderous organization that they support.
What is most disappointing is that there are half a dozen or more other countries in the middle east that would do the same.
Voted : He's a dweeb with a desperate need for attention
Hatred, frelling stupididity, both too closely linked for comfort.
He forgot to take his medication.
