Israel plays Holocaust card against Ahmadinejad

Netanyahu accuses Ahmadinejad of being a holocaust denier. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu labels the Iranian president a holocaust denier, accusing him of attempting to perpetrate genocide.

[Abu Najda]

Are there no depths these people would not sink to. The "holocaust" card - very distasteful.

Is the Iranian president so frightening to the Israelis that they demean their dead in this way?

[AthiestOz]

The Israel PM Netanyahu is only defending his country .. after Ahmadinejad said it never happened and he wants Israel wiped off this earth ....

Wouldnt you be a bit angry if someone one said that about your country and that about history ...

Maybe we should turn around and say the Muhammad never existed .. and that the Quran is a false document .... it would be exactly the same....

So he is not going to any depths .. but playing the same card right back ...!!!!

"Holocaust Card". OMG
Calling someone who denies the holocaust, a holocaust denier, is using the holocaust card.

Man you need to screw your head back on.

What do you mean that Netanyahu accused the Iranian President of denying the Holocaust...he is just telling the truth. The Holocaust happened and Iran was one of the countries that supported Nazis and Hitler.

What is wrong with calling him a denier when he does deny it and does support the killing of Jews even today...although his country does have some Jews left, they are old and about to die off. They epitomize token Jews. The Jews are not given the same rights as Muslims.

One wonders when atrocities committed against them in the past will stop legitimising their atrocities today.

I think the claim is the "holocaust" card is being used by others - not the one you claim is the denier.

Because of the holocaust, Israel feels it has a right to have nuclear weapons which it does not submit to the international treaties.

Because of the holocaust, Israel feels it can respond with disproportionate force against a poorly armed and predominantly civilian population. "An eye for an eyelash"

Because of the holocaust, Israel feels it has a right to attack it's neighbours by flying missions into their land and destroying their property.

Because of the holocaust, Israel has dominance in the US political scene in order to main the $114 billion (and rising) funds from the US Treasury to maintain them.

Because of the holocaust, Israel feels that criticism of them is anti-semitic and an attack on their right to exist. If they had that confidence in that right, they would not feel this way.

I do not deny what happened to the Jewish people. A crime against humanity. This is especially poignant now at this time while the world remembers.

I agree - never again.

But at what point does it stop being the justification for their aggression and injustice?

It's clear many of the radicals on this forum want their own holocaust against the Muslims of the world. We call this the "war on terror". Then we are surprised that radicals Muslims - in the name of the faith - gain legitimacy in response to this agenda.

[Abu Najda]

I agree with the Israeli prime minister when he describes his duty to his people.

If someone were plotting genocide against any population, I for one would stand against it - informed purely on my values as a Muslim.

My issue is the method that he is going to use. This guy thinks there is a security and military solution to this situation. There is not.

[Wilberhum]

I think Israel thinks it should protect it's self from the Arabs that have spent over 60 years trying to destroy them.

Why do Muslims think only Muslims have the right to defend themselves?

Clearly Hamas and Hezbollah think there is.
You invited the language, people.
We just had to study it in order to live the next day.

So they will have an excuse to yell "death do Israel", for example?

[Lipush]

There is no such thing as a "Holocaust card".
WE have familes who went through this humen hell, and going against people who deny it is not "using" any "card".
this whole issue is simply disgusting.

Totally agree.... and well said.!!!

Re presstv:

"... Israel has been accused internationally of committing war crimes during the war on Gaza, including the use of deadly white phosphorus shells in densely populated civilian areas and the use of civilians as human shields."

The IDF used human shields?

"Israel initially denied using the controversial weapon containing phosphorus, however, indisputable evidence (shown globally on video feed) caught them in their lies and later forced Israeli officials to admit having employed the shells."

Lies? What "unbiased" news source is this, Abu?

The Holocaust is the most documented crime in the history of the world.

If you don't see the proof, it is because you refuse to look.

You only want to justify your hate. Why is that?

Did a Jew steal a toy from you when you were 5?

I noticed that you refuse to do any research for yourself. Why is that?

Do you fear the truth?

Can you prove that not a single Jew was killed by the Nazis at Auschwitz? I'm serious.

Certainly not, and I've done a lot of research.

I've yet to find any evidence that 6 million jews died in WWII.

Please point me to a verified list of every one of them. Unless of course you are lying.

I've never said that not a single jew was killed by the Nazis, I'm saying I've sen no proof that 6 million were killed.

We've been paying based upon that amount, I would like to see proof to make sure we aren't being lied to.
