Americanism: The pot... calling the kettle black.
...and the same old lie: Israel should be "wiped of the map".
Really, the west could do all this saber-rattling without Ahmadinejad.
He just makes it convenient.
You'd think he wasn't denying 'the holocaust' as much as trying to suck
the west *into* one... and if so, guesss who's going to the camps...
Infidels, whoever they are... but it would most likely be 'christians'
like George W. Bush, John Ashcroft, Alberto ("it's not legally torture")
Gonzales...
They can use Guantanamo, it's already a death camp (no quotes, intentional).

[JURIST] US Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton
<http://www.un.int/usa/bolton.htm> [official profile] on Thursday called
for international criminal charges to be brought against Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
<http://www.president.ir/eng/ahmadinejad/bio/> [official profile; BBC
profile <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4107270.stm>] for
inciting genocide against Christians and Jews.
While speaking at a Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish
Organizations symposium, Bolton, who was joined by former Israeli UN
Ambassador Dore Gold <http://www.jcpa.org/dgold.htm> [JCPA profile] and
former Canadian Justice Minister and Attorney General Irwin Cotler
<http://www.irwincotler.parl.gc.ca/bio.asp?lang=e> [official profile],
said that Ahmadinejad's remarks <http://www.jcpa.org/jl/vp536.htm> [JCPA
report] last year that Israel should be "wiped of the map" and his
systematic denial of the World War II Holocaust
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/features/holocaust/> [BBC
backgrounder] are violations of the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention
and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
<http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/p_genoci.htm> [text], which prohibits
"direct and public incitement to commit genocide."
Iran hosted a two-day conference
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6167695.stm> [BBC report] this
week examining whether or not the Holocaust occurred.
[But don't expect to find any information about the full content,
papers, et al of the conference. Just think of them as ' holocaust
deniers', it's much simpler that way. Leigh.]
Earlier this year, the Jerusalem Centre for Public Affairs reported that
it was preparing a document
<http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/paperchase/2006/05/israel-group-exploring-genocide.php>
[JURIST report] recommending a lawsuit against Ahmadinejad for his
remarks. In addition, Israeli attorney Eran Shahar, representing civil
rights group Civil Coalition, filed a lawsuit
<http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/paperchase/2006/02/international-brief-israeli-rights.php>
[JURIST report] in February against Ahmadinejad in Germany on charges of
incitement and denying the existence of the World War II Holocaust.
