Iran launches cartoon website aimed at questioning the Holocaust

[azurnoir]

The site is financed by a non-governmental cultural foundation and mainly based on a cartoon book on the Holocaust published in 2008, which contained satirical cartoons and texts aimed at questioning the Holocaust.

The website, which opens to the Pink Panther theme song by Henry Mancini, reportedly wants to continue challenging the issue and show that "the killing of 6 million Jews in the Second World War known as the Holocaust was a sheer lie."

"The site is dedicated to all those who have been killed under the pretext of the Holocaust," Fars reported, referring to Palestinians who, according to Iran, were killed under the Holocaust pretext.

Reports of the site drew anger from Israel's national Holocaust museum, Yad Vashem.

"The launch of a website dedicated to denying the Holocaust through caricatures and text, is yet the latest salvo emanating from Iran that denies the facts of the Holocaust and attempts to influence those who are ignorant of history," Yad Vashem said in a statement.

1. Is Henry Mancini alive? Can he get his music pulled?

What assholes.

2. So it was

the Palestinians who committed the Holocaust?

well, I'm glad they sorted that out!

3. I read the story and that was not what it said.

The story actually appears to say that the site claims Palestinians are victims of false Holocaust claims by Israel and Jews, having been murdered because Jews and Israel are have made a false claim about the holocaust.

Just a bit of vicious racism by whoever created the site in Iran.

5. Well, the holocaust HAS been invoked as justification against the Palestinians quite a bit

But this website is doing those victims no favors.

6. Invoking the Holocaust and denying it happened are two different things. n/t

[Chulanowa]

7. Very much in agreement with you. n/t

4. Argh just argh.

What a vile website.

9. And the non-governmental group that started it needs to be thoroughly condemned.

But this doesn't justify bombing Iran, as some would like it to do.

[Ken Burch]

8. So...a non-governmental cultural foundation launched the site...not "IRAN"

Neither the Iranian government NOR the Iranian people are to blame.

The scumbags who created the website are, however.

And no, bombing Iran wouldn't STOP shit like this. It would just cause more of it.
