Mahniyd Ahmadinejad the Iranian president (see left)is going to attend and speak at the U.N anti-racism conference in Geneva later today. To me this is quite funny and a disaster waiting to happen as he has previously decribed the Holocaust as a myth and wants to destory Isreal. I am looking forward to seeing Ban Ki-Moon's little face as Ahmadinejad rants about Zionist conspiracy theires plaguing the world.
This has promted me to think about the subject of Holocuast denial, as to me it is perplexing how someone can ignnore moutains of evidence and millions of people's perosnal accounts and claim its a conspiracy.
So what are the main arguments holocast deniers speak from their mouths?
1) Its a Jewish conspiracy theory, to try and advnace the intrests and plight of the Jewish people, an to establish and justify a Jewish homeland In Palestine.
2) Its an conspiracy theory developed from the Allies who want to make the Germans look like bastard to justify WWII
3) It was done to demonise the Nazis and to ensure they never had mainstream creditability in the future.
There are many hisotrians who have published books debating the number of deaths and the possiblility of a conspiracy. Most of their work has been discriedited, but they are still many people who beleive in the conspiracry. So here is a small list of holocaust deniers:
- Hamaas
- The Saudi Ariabian Governement
- Francois Duprat
- Ottto Ersnst Remer, and
- Rousas John Rushdoony
Holocause denital is illegal in 13 counties; including Austia, Germany, France, Isreal and Switzerland (where the conference is being held)
As a visitor to Auschitz-Birkenaue myself, I still find it confusing how people can fully deny the holocaust. It also makes me ponder that a lot of the claims made are for propaganda purposes e.g by Hamas, and some are to cause contraversy and sell books.
My concluding thought is that: Ahmadinejad loves it, and loves to cause conrtraversy
