“We are posing two very clear questions. The first is: Did the Holocaust actually take place? You answer this question in the affirmative. So, the second question is: Whose fault was it? The answer to that has to be found in Europe and not in Palestine. It is perfectly clear: If the Holocaust took place in Europe, one also has to find the answer to it in Europe.” IfsFirstsTwoFoundAnswersClearEuropeFaultsHolocaustPalestineAffirmativePosing Author:Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
“If the Holocaust didn't take place, why then did this regime of occupation come about? Why do the European countries commit themselves to defending this regime? Permit me to make one more point. We are of the opinion that, if an historical occurrence conforms to the truth, this truth will be revealed all the more clearly if there is more research into it and more discussion about it.” IfsCountryOpinionResearchHistoricalCommitDiscussionOccupationPermitHolocaustRegimesConformEuropean Countries Author:Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

“If Holocaust happened, then those who bear the responsibility for it have to be punished, and not the Palestinians. Why isn't research into a deed that occurred 60 years ago permitted?

“The roots of the Palestinian conflict must be sought in history. The Holocaust and Palestine are directly connected with one another.

“One group of scholars or persons, most of them politically motivated, say the Holocaust occurred. Then there is the group of scholars who represent the opposite position and have therefore been imprisoned for the most part. Hence, an impartial group has to come together to investigate and to render an opinion on this very important subject, because the clarification of this issue will contribute to the solution of global problems.” PersonsImportantProblemTogetherOpinionIssuesGroupsSubjectsPositionSolutionsOppositesMotivatedHolocaustScholarClarification Author:Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
“We are saying that if the Holocaust occurred, then Europe must draw the consequences and that it is not Palestine that should pay the price for it.
