AHMADINEJAD UN SPEECH CONFIRMS HIM AS WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS ANTI-SEMITE
The President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations today, invoking classic anti-Semitic imagery and blaming much of the world’s problems on the United States and Israel. Rabbi Marvin Hier, Founder and Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center who watched the speech said:
“Listening to his words from the rostrum of the United Nations and the applause at its conclusion - I thought I was watching the reincarnation of a young Hitler addressing the Reichstag to the thunderous applause of his followers. Ahmadinejad is unquestionably the world’s most notorious anti-Semite, repeating the mantras that Zionists dominate the financial centers and force political leaders to agree with them in order to obtain their financial and media support."
"It is inconceivable to me that 65 years after the Holocaust, seven former US Secretaries of State, and some prominent religious leaders are falling all over themselves to have a dialogue with a man who unabashedly calls for the destruction of Israel and believes Auschwitz was a myth,” Hier concluded.
