Sometimes, you come across a funny turn of phrase in the most serious of news articles. From Iran Mania:
LONDON, June 17 (IranMania) – According to AFP, Israel’s memorial to the six million Jews killed in the Nazi Holocaust denounced Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for making fresh anti-Semitic comments.
I find it amusing that a memorial is speaking, but clarification is found in the very next paragraph:
The Yad Vashem institute was speaking in response to a call from Ahmadinejad in Shanghai for an independent investigation into the Holocaust.
“Yad Vashem reiterates its warning against complacency in face of Iranian Holocaust denial,” a spokeswoman for the memorial told AFP.
“Recent trends in Iran represent a clear feature of current anti-Semitism, the ties between Islamic radicals and Holocaust deniers,” she added.
Phew. First it was the Yad Vashem memorial, then it was the institute, and finally, it’s an actual human being.
