Ahmadinejad Holocaust jibe 'totally unacceptable': Moscow

Source: AFP

MOSCOW — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's statement that the Holocaust was "a myth" is "totally unacceptable", the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement Saturday.

"Such statements, wherever they come from, contradict the truth and are totally unacceptable," ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko said in the statement.

"Attempts to rewrite history, especially as the 70th anniversary of the start of World War II is being marked this year, are an offence to the memory of all victims and all those who fought fascism," he added.

Nesterenko said Ahmadinejad's comment "does not contribute to creating an international atmosphere that would foster a fruitful dialogue on issues concerning Iran."

so he can use it as a "justification" to launch an attack against the West and Israel. Dictators when isolated have a tendency to run away towards war to keep the power. Milosevic was the latest example.

that did not go well for slobbin on .. I still hate that fucker. Two years off from college to go clean up his shit. It was a good thing, but not a fun trip. Hopefully russia will yank his chain.

If he can't incite an external threat or attack. He'll have the Revolutionary Guard mount a false flag attack. Does he think he's the only one that knows world history? Of course the Druj will continue to assure him no one will ever figure out what he's up to. Bwahahahahahaha!

whackjob.

It's ever elusive. It's always a day away. You can't prove it actually exists. Sure you have somewhat logical certainties it exists. Because if tomorrow doesn't exist. Then where did today come from? As anyone who has actually been through that eternal argument of "where did that come from" with a child knows. There is only one logical conclusion to that argument. That's God. It all came from God or even Tomorrow if that's how you chose to understand him. Like I said, there are logical certainties. But you can't actually prove God or tomorrow actually exists.

As for evolution. I can understand why God would create a mind capable of understanding and believing in Evolution. But I can't understand why Evolution would create a mind capable of understanding and believing in God. What is the evolutionary benefit of that? In case you're wondering. I believe in God and Evolution. I don't find the two concepts to be mutually exclusive. In fact I find them to be entirely compatible. Science is finally beginning to prove some of the things crazy Holy men have believed and preached for millenniums.

Why would he want that?

Since Obama reintroduced sanity into US foreign policy

European missile defense shield, saving us massive dollars against an Iranian missile attack that will never happen, and gaining Russian cooperation against Iran. Things should be moving along nicely now. Bush and cheney were never capable of such a chess move. They were blunt instruments.

and similar pogroms, thanks.

Make no mistake. Russia's scolding of Iran underscores the genius of the Obama administration's diplomatic move...and the utter stupidity of the knee-jerk GOP response.

Score one for the Good Guys!

:bounce:

a fanatic actually

as much as this man is demonized for his one comment that he repeats. I'm thinking here of folks like the GWBpuppetmaster, Cheney, GWB himself, Condi Rice, Tony Blair and others like them that actually started wars with their lies.

I hope there will be more.

head off.

Good on Russia and anyone else who speaks the truth and has a grasp of the facts.

Thanks to Obama and also to Hillary

My how the world is changing.

Ivan's more reasonable than I thought.

their politicians are as dupicitous as ours. they'll condemn holocaust denial, sure, but they will happily still sell weapons and nuclear technology to the Holocaust deniers.

The man is in place 1) because he can be manipulated and told what to do and 2) because they stole
the election outright. Good for the Russian Foreign Ministry. My sentiments exactly.
