PostHeaderIcon Israel’s Netanyahu rebukes deniers of the holocaust





After yesterday’s speech of Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the General Assembly of the United Nations, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu followed with a rebuke of those who just stand by to watch a leader of nation deny the horror of holocaust and wish a nation to be wiped out on the face of the earth. Netanyahu debunked Iran’s odious assertion that the horror of the holocaust didn’t happen by displaying in the UN assembly a blueprint of the Auschwitz death camp and showing Nazi orders to kill Jews.

“The man who called the Holocaust a lie spoke at this podium. To those who refused to come and to those who left in protest, I commend you. You stood up for moral clarity and you brought honor to your countries. But to those who gave this Holocaust denier a hearing, I say on behalf of my people, the Jewish people, and decent people everywhere -- have you no shame? Have you no decency?"”----Brietbarttv.com(09/24/09)

“Netanyahu, 59, also defended his country against allegations of war crimes in a UN report on Israel’s military offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The prime minister said Israel sought to end rocket attacks on its communities, assaults he said the UN had ignored for years”---Bloomberg.com (09/24/09, Fersiger, J.)

Boycotting Ahmadinejad’s speech, Netanyahu clearly commended other UN delegates among them from Canada, Britain, and diplomats from France, Spain and other European contries who walked out in disdain over Ahmadinejad, the dictatorial leader of Islamic Iran with a long record of human rights violations and disregard of international covenants. The controversial Iranian leader who faced civil unrest and a disputed reelection in Tehran obviously didn’t represent decency and truth---but nontheles, he was welcomed in the UN.

In denying the merciless extermination of the Jews, Ahmadinejad insulted the memory of countless innocent victims of tyranny and evil during the Nazi regime. This comes on the heels of a growing worry that Iran is about to succeed in building a nuclear bomb in violations of UN samctions. If the world is populated with the likes of Amadinejad, the world’s future looks ominously dismal. (Photo Credit: ctv.ca; United Nations) =0=
