“The Iranian president’s speeches have exerted great influence on millions of Moslems throughout the world, including Europe, the U.S. and on many other groups who are developing a hatred towards Jews and Israel". [Gee, I wonder why - Editor]
JERUSALEM (EJP)--- Two Jewish organisations have launched an international campaign aimed at enlisting hundreds of thousands of Internet surfers to speak out against Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Holocaust denial.
The web-based operation has been initiated by the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
Ahmadinejad has created massive concern throughout the world not only for his comments denying the Holocaust [No, he didn't - Editor] but also for his perceived anti-Semitism. In a now infamous speech in October 2005 Ahamdinejad threatened to “wipe Israel off the map” [No, he didn't say anything like that - just another Zionist lie that has been repeated mindlessly and endlessly by the mainstream media - see half a dozen relevant articles on this site - Editor].
And in December 2006 the president threw his support behind a controversial conference of Holocaust deniers [They are revisionist historians - not "holocaust deniers."] held in Teheran, the Iranian capital.
Shlomo Molla, Head of the Department for Zionist Institutes in the World Zionist Organization, who initiated the campaign, said that “the words of the Iranian President are provocative and we must not ignore them. The aggressive antisemitic campaign led by Ahmadinegad, which is influencing millions of people, is not less dangerous than Iran’s attempt to develop nuclear weapons.
Great influence
“The Iranian president’s speeches have exerted great influence on millions of Moslems throughout the world, including Europe, the U.S. and on many other groups who are developing a hatred towards Jews and Israel,” the WZO and Jewish agency said in a joint statement.
The statement claimed that this is the “first attempt to deal in an organized fashion with the subject of antisemitism, Holocaust denial and hatred of Israel, while most of the world is focusing today on slowing the nuclear capacity of Iran.”
Surfers will be called on to demonstrate solidarity with the struggle against anti-Semitism and join a world-wide virtual protest against “the aniti-Semitic policy led by Ahmadinejad”. Protest letters can be sent directly to the e-mail of the Iranian Foreign Office.
The organisers say their goal is to
increase public awareness in Israel and around the world of
the danger of the Iranian threat not only to Israel but to
the entire world, and to create a coalition of groups in the
world that will fight against antisemitism.
