« PA Wants To Delay Elections | Main | Sharon's Stroke » Iranian Spin
By Micah Halpern
Sunday December 18, 2005 I've Been Thinking: The Iranian Interior Minister Mustafa Pur Mahmaddi has begun to try to spin his president's ludicrous comments about the Holocaust. But the Iranians do not understand how ludicrous the original comments are, so the spin is just that, whirring, whirling circles, going nowhere. Mustafa Pur Mahmaddi, said: The president "wanted to say that if certain people have created troubles for the Jewish community they should bear the expenses, and it is not others who should pay for that." We know what the president said . Rephrasing does not make it better. These comments make it worse. The point the Iranians are making is that if there were no Holocaust, there should be no Israel. And if the Holocaust took place in Europe, that is where Israel should be situated. Europe should pay the price. It happened. And Israel was around way before Islam, not just post-Holocaust. 4 June 2017 12:14 PM in Thoughts
