Iranians mock Holocaust...what's new?

On Friday (9/27) Iranians gathered, chanting "Death to Israel". The gathering was in support of a book mocking the Holocaust that Islamist students unveiled to the public.

In Gaza City, the Islamist Hamas that has ruled over the Palestinian territory since June 2007 called for more suicide attacks on Israel. The book was released titled "Holocaust", contains cartoons and sarcastic writings related to the Jewish Holocaust.

The cover illustration is of a Jew with a crooked nose and dressed in traditional garb drawing outlines of dead bodies on the ground. Inside, bearded Jews are shown leaving and re-entering a gas chamber with a counter that reads the number 5,999,999.

Remember this- Iran does not recognise the Jewish state, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has attracted international condemnation by repeatedly predicting Israel is doomed to disappear and branding the Holocaust a "myth."

This is the man, and country that Barack Obama has alluded to appeasment towards. Obama, when challenged on this, always backtracks on the issue in defense, but his words and actions give us a vision for a very dangerous foreign policy- and a slap in the face of the Jewish people.
