Tehran's conference on the Holocaust was a shameful act of stupidity
The conference on the Holocaust sponsored by Iran’s president Mohamed Ahmadinejad in Tehran from December 11-12, 2006 was a simply act of stupidity, ill advised and with no purpose other than to give anti-Muslims more ammunition on how retarded Islamic politics have become. Of course the turn up of the likes of the former KKK David Duke is nothing to be proud of.
While as Arabs and Muslims we have lots of issues to pick with Israel and Zionism, the Holocaust must not be one of those issues. It is time for our people to simply admit the fact that, yes, Hilter's Germany did kill more than 6 million Jews, simply because they are Jews and of course Hitler’s army also killed many more millions. Never the less, it is a simple fact that no one can deny and documents of liberating US Army is but a proof of that. Moreover it is also stupid and unethical to argue about the numbers, whether it is 3 millions, or 5 millions of 6 millions is irrelevant. The simple fact that the Holocaust was a crime against the Jews and against humanity and we all must, once for all honor the memory of all those who died.
Of course we also know that key Zionist leaders made the Holocaust an “industry” a cash machine for the benefit of Zionist causes and for the State of Israel to squeeze money, sympathy and black mail out of Germany and Europe. Anti-Zionist Jewish intellectuals take issue with how Zionist used the Holocaust to advance the agenda of the Zionist and Israel and how the money generated did not serve well those who survived.
While the Holocaust will remain a “unique” crime against humanity, there are similar and perhaps equally compelling crimes committed against the Armenians, the Blacks of Africa arising out of colonialism and of course centuries of American slavery of Blacks that resulted in tens of millions of dead victims. Yes, no one should ever forget nor forgive the Holocaust and those who committed it, but we also must remember the many innocent millions who were killed and murdered simply because they are Black or Christian Armenians. That does not ever give Israel and the Zionist the right or the excuse to expel more than 700,000 Palestinians from their home lands and deny the more than 6 million Palestinians the right to their own free state and does not give any excuse to Israel and the Zionist for insisting on keeping some 4 million Palestinians under armed and criminal occupation that not only jails them, kills them, humiliate them, but confiscate and steal their property as well, for the benefits of Jews. That is simply wrong.
Perhaps it was much better for the President of Iran to sponsor a conference on Zionism and its crimes, and its racist ideology, rather than sponsor a conference on the Holocaust. It is time for even the worst enemies of Israel to stop denying the Holocaust and admit that 6 million innocent Jews where put to their deaths simply because they are Jews. The crimes of the Holocaust is not a crime against Jews, it is a crime against Muslims, and more so a crime against German Christian who committed this horrible crime and a crime that should shame Christendom for all of the crimes committed in Europe, in African, in the Middle East, in Latin America and of course here at home in the USA. The president of Iran proved that he is of simple mind, and simple view. There is no honor in being in the company of former KKK the like of David Duke, and there is no honor in being in the company of anti-Semite. Yes, denying the Holocaust is a form of anti-Semitism, criticizing Israel and taking issues with Zionism is not and must not be acts of anti-Semitism, a label used to threatened any discourse on Israel, its policies, practices and of course on Zionism, its history, its ideology and practices. Here in this country, we are free to debate God, whether he/she exists or not, we can debate, whether God is a man or woman, we can debate Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Mohamed. We can even debate George Bush how smart or how not so smart he is, we can debate the creation, we can debate any and all issues without ever getting in trouble, but God forbid, we debate Israel and Zionism. There is nothing wrong with Arab leadership and intellectuals and the people on the streets to recognize and denounce the Holocaust a crimes against humanity, a crime against the Jews, and their is nothing wrong with Jewish intellectuals and civil right leaders to also recognize that the expulsion of Palestinians from Palestine and the continued ethnic cleansing of "Arabs" are also a crime against humanity. The Arabs have to recongize the wrongs done to the Jews and the Jews have to recognize the wrongs done to the Arabs, then and only then, there will be room for understanding and certainly room for reconciliation.
