WIESENTHAL CENTER STATEMENT ON IRAN PRESIDENT’S DENIAL OF THE HOLOCAUST [View All]

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s latest statement calling the Holocaust a "myth" used by Europeans to create a Jewish state in the heart of the Islamic world demands an immediate response from the international community. Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center said: "In view of the fact that the UN General Assembly will be commemorating the Holocaust on January 27, it behooves them to immediately censure the Iranian leader for this outrage and his previous calls for genocide against the Jewish State."

To date, only the Security Council has condemned the Iranian leader's genocidal threats

Rabbi Hier continued:

Further, we call upon the European Union to declare Ahmedinejad persona non grata in all European capitals. Europeans must take the lead in ensuring that the Iranian regime’s genocidal hate has specific consequences.
