Iran’s contribution to the UN Holocaust remembrance

This poison was added to the documentation about Holocaust Remembrance Day, but you have to search pretty hard to find it. (Thanks to Judeosphere for finding it for me.)

Explanation of position of the Islamic Republic of Iran on the resolution entitled “Holocaust remembrance” adopted by the General Assembly on 1 November 2005

The Islamic Republic of Iran condemns genocide against any race, ethnic or religious group as a crime against humanity. Many abhorrent cases of genocide that have regrettably occurred throughout history necessitate a thorough and comprehensive examination by the United Nations of the pain and suffering that this horrific crime has inflicted on various peoples and groups, avoiding a restrictive approach to a particular ethnicity or religion.

Addressing historical events of horrific enormity, with a view to avoiding their recurrence, requires a commensurate degree of scientific scrutiny and rigour. Rendering political judgements on such events and closing the door to any scientific inquiry on their characteristics, scope and extent would seriously undermine the
sincerity of the endeavour, particularly in its preventive aspect, which should aim at precluding the reoccurrence of similar atrocities. The basic principles of democracy, including the right to freedom of expression and belief, should pave the way for exploring different aspects of historical events without any arbitrary restrictions.

Moreover, genocide and the immense sufferings associated with that horrific crime should not be manipulated for political purposes. Regrettably, the Zionist regime has routinely attempted to exploit the sufferings of the Jewish people in the past as a cover for its crimes being perpetrated today against Palestinians in the occupied territories, including massacre, demolition of houses, properties and farmlands, as well as acts of state terrorism. The international community should take strong action against such atrocious crimes of the Zionist regime and not allow it to manipulate humanitarian sentiments to pursue its illegitimate goals.

If there is anyone out there who doubts what the Holocaust [denial] conference Iran is sponsoring will be about, doubt no further.

This anti-Semitic filth now becomes part of the permanent record of the UN, adding to the hundreds of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish documentation already extant. And for this, the U.S. pays 25% of the UN’s costs.

Lovely.

    The link supplied took me to a page where I could choose the language in which the document appears. This link should take readers directly to the document (and I use the term “document” loosely) in English. (It’s a PDF file.)

  2. You can’t link directly to the PDF. It doesn’t work for anyone else. I have restored the original link. My readers are probably smart enough to choose a language link and get the PDF.

    Notice how carefule they are to bury the actual poison at the end so that someone skimming or just reading the beginning would be fooled into thinking that they are against Holocaust denial.

    The words

    Moreover, genocide and the immense sufferings associated with that horrific crime should not be manipulated for political purposes.

    would be true if the word Zionist is replaced by the word Islamic, Palestinian, or terrorist in the rest of the paragraph. Indeed, the word Zionist can be replaced by United Nations Organization and then the rest of the paragraph would be closer to truth.
