so true, the lack of information amongst the post revolutionatry iranians means that such comments may be taken as truth , and that is scary

I think it is irresponsible for a countries leader to say such things. Especially since there is so much overwhelming proof that it did happen.

Who is surprised that he would deny such a thing, because his views and opinions of Israel and the Jewish religion are very well known. The man is not well educated, rules by muscle and military power, builds nuclear plants and let's his people starve.
To deny that the Holocaust ever happened shows the mentality of some people when it is well documented. Also many people have been tried and convicted over the past 60 years for their part in the Holocaust.
I think this image that I am uploading is appropriate - the man is full of hot air and a joke.

i think its an extremely dangerous statement to make on two levels at least. As a historian of the 20th century, there is too much evidence for anyone to seriously deny the holocaust, and to do so from his position is misguided at least, at worst it is tantamount to a criminal act. At another level it can only provoke israil and international tention anyway. If iran has a neuclear weapons policy then she sounds to be squaring up to another neuclear power. I wonder if the president of Iran knows or cares about mutually assured distruction? if not we are in a very dangerous position indeed, what odds on Iran being the next islamic state bombed back to the stone age?

he is an idiot ! The holocaust was reality unfortunately ! I had the possibilty to talk with people who survived in the nazi's lagers and they were real people ! For them life is still difficult and they will never forget that terribile experience ! Everybody who denies it, is just an ignorant ! There are plenty of documentation and people who have survived !
