Iran: HoloCartoons and Ahmadinejad on Jews from the Holocaust to 9/11
Sunday, August 8, 2010 at 6:10 
NOTE: The full Ahmadinejad speech on Saturday can now be viewed.On Thursday, a new Iranian website, HoloCartoons , was launched to worldwide criticism. The website shows Jews chalking corpses on the ground and changing the "truth" just to establish the state of Israel. It jibes that there were "exactly" five million and four hundred Jews in Europe, not "exactly" six million.
The semiofficial Iranian Fars News reported that cartoonist Maziar Bijani launched the site and said it is financed by a non-governmental cultural foundation. The site has English, Arabic and Farsi versions.
On Saturday, speaking at a Tehran conference, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reportedly continued his criticisms and said, "They made up an event, the so-called Holocaust which was later laid as the basis for the innocence of a group."
Then Ahmadinejad allegedly claimed that Zionists who were working at the World Trade Centre had been informed in advance not to go to work on September 11. He continued:
What was the story of Sept. 11? During five to six days, and with the aid of the media, they created and prepared public opinion so that everyone considered an attack on Afghanistan and Iraq as (their) right.
They announced that 3,000 people were killed in this incident, but there were no reports that reveal their names. Maybe you saw that, but I did not.

Has anyone seen these cartoons? I've tried twice but the site is so slow that I've given up before getting very far into that page-turning thing.
Yes, I have seen many of them. Have you tried recently?
Yes, several hours later the site was much faster, but I didn't make it
that far because it was such a thoroughly disgusting exercise.
