UPDATE 1-Germans should stop feeling Holocaust guilt -Iran�|�World Football�|�Reuters.co.uk
We shall see, if he really said this.
In the meantime, we have to say that Holocaust deniers are idiots. It happened. We all know that it did.
It was a horror.
It will never stop being horror becuase of what was done to many people, not only Jews.
This I do agree with; Germans should stop with the guilt. It is useless now. Germans who are alive today, for the most part, had nothing to do with Hitler's rampage. They should learn the lesson of their history, as I believe they have done.
Now it is our turn.
No people should have to pay, forever, for a crime they did not commit.
Nevertheless, we should never forget what happened in Germany, because it can happen anywhere.
It has, time and time again.
It's happening now, in Darfur.
It is happening here.
Does anyone think that evil always looks the same?
UPDATE 1-Germans should stop feeling Holocaust guilt -Iran��World Football��Reuters.co.uk:
"BERLIN, May 28 (Reuters) - Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told Germans they should no longer allow themselves to be held prisoner by a sense of guilt over the Holocaust and reiterated doubts that the Holocaust even happened.
In an interview with Germany's Der Spiegel magazine, Ahmadinejad said he doubted Germans were allowed to write 'the truth' about the Holocaust and said he was still considering travelling to Germany for the World Cup soccer tournament.
'I believe the German people are prisoners of the Holocaust. More than 60 million were killed in World War Two ... The question is: Why is it that only Jews are at the centre of attention?,' he said in the interview published on Sunday.
'How long is this going to go on?' he added. 'How long will the German people be held hostage to the Zionists?... Why should you feel obligated to the Zionists? You've paid reparations for 60 years and will have to pay for another 100 years.'
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other leaders have said his previous remarks questioning whether the Holocaust happened were unacceptable. Denying the Holocaust is a serious crime in Germany punishable with a prison term of up to five years.
Six million Jews were killed by the Nazis and their allies in concentration camps.
In the rare interview with Western media, Ahmadinejad said if the Holocaust really happened Jews should be moved from Israel back to Europe."
