Iranian president again denies Holocaust

Iranian president again denies Holocaust Tehran  - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday again called the mass murder of Jews by the Nazis a "fairy tale" and urged for continued resistance against Israel's "Zionist regime." "The Holocaust is a false claim, a fairy tale, used as a pretext for crimes against humanity," the Iranian president told an anti-Israel rally in Tehran.

If the Holocaust was true, then it was committed by Europeans who should, therefore, also be responsible for compensation, he said.

"When you [Europe] confess having committed such a crime, so also provide the Jews with lands in Europe, America or Canada," Ahmadinejad said. "Why should the Palestinians suffer from an incident in which they were not involved?"

"It is our national, religious and Islamic duty to continue confronting the Zionist regime as this regime has threatened the national security of all regional [Middle East] states," the president said.
