Genocide isn't Funny

Has anyone else had enough of Iran? I can’t believe the lengths their leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is going to, in order to alienate the international community. If the ASIO boys were up to it, I'd think about making him my second assassination. Currently, as they enrich uranium and test fire long range missiles to carry the payload, the world, and the UN stand by idly. This is frustrating, but not new. Neither is it new that they continue to deny the right of Israel to exist, as well as actively advocating its annihilation. The latest stunt though, has pushed me over the edge, and if I could assassinate a whole country I would.

In response to the infamous Danish cartoons featuring the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, an Iranian newspaper launched a competition in search of the best Holocaust cartoon. Seriously, that really happened. On presenting the winner with their $15,000 prize, the Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister, Mohammad Hossein Saffar-Harandi, praised Ahmadinejad (who has described the Holocaust as a myth) and said "People should not think that by questioning the Holocaust they are committing a crime." Actually, by not a crime, he means it is a crime in Austria, Belgium, The Czech Republic, France, Germany Lithuania, The Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain Switzerland and Israel.

News flash: the Holocaust really happened. The Nazis murdered over 8 million Jews, in a coordinated effort to eradicate their race. It’s just a fact. We know it’s a fact, because the Nazi’s meticulously recorded the details of the crimes, with tens of thousands of photographs and documents that survive to the present day. Denial of this event has enjoyed varying levels of popularity since WWII, but seems to be peaking lately, with Hamas controlling Palestine and Ahmadinejad erratically steering Iran. At times like these, leaders of the rest of the world need to take action and not let this behaviour continue. Ongoing inaction only encourages other nut bags to shoot their mouths off; just to get their mugs on TV (isn’t that right Sheik Taj el-Din al Hilaly?).

This administration has a zero tolerance policy on this sort of ignorance and hatred. There is just no excuse for it. Oppressed peoples everywhere look forward to the day we are elected and can give them the protection they deserve.
