They Had A Conference On This?

OK, so I took a few days off from reality. I had a simple medical procedure done Monday, and I’ve been “offline” (both mentally and physically) for the last couple of days.

And I “come back to reality” to discover that, according to quite a number of people around the world, the Holocaust never happened.

Wow. At first I thought I simply had too many narcotics still running through my veins. But, alas, not so, for this is the state of world events today.

* The conference has 67 participants from 30 countries.
* Iran banned any dissenting voices from Holocaust conference by not issuing visas to them.
* Former US Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke attended Iran’s Holocaust conference.
* French writer Georges Thiel, who had been convicted of Holocaust denial (a crime in France), attended.
* An Israeli Arab lawyer, Khaled Muhammed, was denied permission to attend the conference by Iran after the discovery of his holding Israeli citizenship.

An insane leader, leading a group of insane people, in an insane quest. But really, there is no reason I should be surprised.

But this conference is not simply to make headlines. Ahmadinejad does not recognize the 1967 borders - or any borders - for a Jewish state. He has said that the Holocaust was a myth and has called for the destruction of the State of Israel. He uses Holocaust denial to eradicate the moral basis for Israel’s existence, and even says so openly. That was the explicit explanation that the Iranian foreign minister gave for why it is necessary to discuss the “myth” of the Holocaust right now. Iran is helping make clear that the “Arab-Israeli conflict” is not about borders, settlements or refugees, but about the radical Islamist refusal to accept the right of a Jewish state to exist in any shape or form. The Iranian conference illustrates the linkage between Holocaust denial and Israel denial. But don’t be too angry at either Ahmadinejad or Iran - they simply have the courage to say and do openly what millions of other Arabs are saying and doing quietly, as well as millions of Europeans and Americans.

In opening remarks, Manouchehr Mottaki said: “If the official version of the Holocaust is thrown into doubt, then the identity and nature of Israel will be thrown into doubt. If… it is proved that the Holocaust was a historical reality, then what is the reason for the Palestinians having to pay the cost of the Nazis’ crimes?”

Wow, what a win-win situation for the Islamists. (1) No Holocaust, then no reason for Israel to exist, or (2) If Holocaust, then OK but ship them out of the Arab area since they don’t belong there.

Tony Blair, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, denounced the conference as “shocking beyond belief” Blair also said that is was “a symbol of sectarianism and hatred toward people of another religion. I mean, to go and invite the former head of the Ku Klux Klan to a conference in Tehran which disputes the millions of people who died in the Holocaust … what further evidence do you need that this regime is extreme?”

There used to be a motto associated with the Holocaust: "Never Again". And yet, a mere 60 years later, we seeing the word "Never" getting erased - and does anyone really care?

This is a GREAT description of the current US Executive branch!! Bush and his cronies! rofl!

I agree with the entire message, however. Scary, isn't it?

Brother maisky, this makes us 2-0 on the two of us agreeing ... and on the same day! I might have to request a Instant Replay Ruling from the referees.

Surely there's something I can do to torque up my arch-nemesis ...

AHHHHH! That's it! Something from Brother maisky's daily source of factual news: WorldNetDaily.com

Yep (I says with a swagger) when I go to Starbucks I would rather demand they spit in my Quad Venti Caramel Macchiato rather than drip a single drop of that evil, feminizing soy.

And since it's on the internet it has to be true.

Geez, what I mean here is Old Testament, Brother maisky. Real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, and volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifices, dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria.

Shamalama,
You know what I like about you thinking? It’s that I’m never quite sure, from which direction it’s coming from. (I’m laughing now, hope you are too.)

Well, there IS an estrogenic effect from excess soy in the diet. Not to mention from all that touchy-feely, granola and Birkenstock sandal sensitive-man vibe you can get just hanging around the store where they SELL the stuff.

On the other hand -- it's been a major protein staple in the Chinese diet for millenia, and it doesn't seem to have put a dent in their population growth.

I heard today that just becaues someone eats tofo in a guy bar or eat it in bed with a same sex partener odes not make them does it? haha lolol

The only time i know of that soy will promote gay behavior is if you stick it up your partners...errr....mabye this isnt appropriate here?
