Nice Legs, Ahmadinejad.

 
Not the least flattering picture of this man that exists.

Pictured above looking like almost as big of an asshole as he actually is, the Iranian president recently invited the stupidest bigots from around the world, running the full gamut of idiocy from white supremacists to universally loathed hate-scholars, to make varying (though all stupid) cases about how the Holocaust either:

1) Didn't happen.
2) Happened but was greatly exaggerated in size.
3) Happened and was the size (or nearly) that the rest of the world claims, but was actually a plot perpetrated by Zionists to gain the land of Israel.
4) Happened but was actually a conspiracy by Jews to bring a "master race of German Jews" into power.

Well, which one was it, ya brain-bleached fucked-in-the-ear monkey turd? Because it seems to me that you don't really stand for anything at all except Jew hatred. And now you've decided to bring together a group of people who have rightly become outcasts for preaching hatred and separatism. This is like something out of a comic book in which all the bad guys get together to discuss a new strategy for evil over the next few years. And in the end of the conference, all they will have concluded are the very same assumptions that led to all of their utterly unscientific conclusions in the first place: Jews and Israel are bad.

Never mind silly Jewish contributions to the world...such useless things as:

Instead, let's focus on the fact that after millions of Jews were killed, some of the remainder attained a small plot of land to call home. Instead of helping the inhabitants of former Palestine who have numerous Arab nations who could provide aid to them, let's commit our resources to even more Jew hatred.

Never mind the fact that Jews have taken far better care of the land of Israel, in spite of constant terrorist attacks on it. Focus instead on a teensy group of rabbis who hold a biblical interpretation that it is not G-d's will that the Jews have a state.

And instead of focusing on why the Holocaust happened and learning from it, let's make our best attempt to pretend that it didn't.

This makes me bitter and annoyed. Can you believe that? The thing about it is, I've taken the time to read a good number of anti-semitic websites (and there are a lot of them) and to watch anti-semitic movies (and there are a lot of those too). And I really can't see how or why the world would tolerate a "conference" like this. It's nothing more than a forum for spreading hatred.

The "scholars" attending the meeting don't hold even a single shred of scientific legitimacy. As noted above, they don't even agree to the details of their absurd stories about the Holocaust. They simply see a broad range of discredited theories as viable, because they hate Jews. Most, if not all, of the conspiracy theories have been thoroughly debunked, and refutations can be found online at sites like holocaust-history, the adl, and nizkor.org.

That it should be necessary to refute these theories one by one is very sad, because none of them really make any sense. There are thousands of documents inside Germany that have been studied in depth. There are tabulations that have been performed based on cause of death, country of origin, and year of death. There are pictures. There are films. There are thousands of eyewitness accounts. There are still living people with a goddamned number tattooed on their arm. I have met some.

If you are not Jewish and feel this doesn't have anything to do with you, perhaps it would be wise to remember the poem, "First they came...."                                        

They came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
     
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
     
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
     
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
     
Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up. 




Or perhaps the American version:


 First they came for the second amendment.
But I said nothing because I wasn't a gun runner.
     
Then they came for the fourth amendment.
But I didn't object because I wasn't a drug dealer. 
     
Then they came for the sixth amendment.
But I kept quiet because I wasn't guilty.
     
Then they came for the eighth amendment,
But I was silent because I never thought I'd be sent to jail.
     
Finally they came for the first amendment.
And by then it was too late to say anything at all.

Perhaps just what Edmund Burke said:

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

Insane groups that are out to rewrite history are dangerous to everybody. Nazis would not only have slaughtered you for being Jewish, but for being gay, a Gypsy, Slav, Jehovah's Witness, Communist, or a Socialist....or just for vocally disagreeing with them. The pattern of anti-semitic groups that harbor an inclination towards violence and terrorism is so widespread that it reaches all the way to Japan. And in each case, the violence perpetrated is against people in general and not just Jewish people.

The Aum Shinrikyo cult that bombed the subways in 1995? They hate Jews. They have, as almost all conspiracy theorists do, the inane position that the Jews are responsible for running a "world shadow government that murders untold numbers of people and, while hiding behind sonorous phrases and high-sounding principles, plans to brainwash and control the rest."

Right...right after dinner, that's what I'm going to get back to doing.

This has something to do with you whether you are Jewish or not. Do you remember the attacks on the World Trade Center? Last I checked, 90-something percent of the people who worked there weren't Jews. They were just trying to do their jobs.

I'm not saying I have all the answers, but I know one thing. As a first step, this bullshit denial needs to stop very soon. It is a huge impediment to the formation of peace when we allow world leaders to get away with outright lying. If the people in the Middle East weren't being told silly lies about what Jews do, then they also wouldn't be as easily coerced into hatred of America and secular nations throughout the world. Just as the statements made by the "man" holding this conference imply, this is a battle between education and brainwashing. Even though he very clearly thinks it is more a battle against Jews, we need to take his other premise seriously.

More precisely than education, this is about opening our eyes and not denying obvious facts that make up an ugly truth.
