Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is one of those people who can’t seem to believe that the Holocaust happened. He is a staunch denier of the events that occurred at Auschwitz and other similar concentration camps in Germany. He believes that the whole thing is some sort of twisted conspiracy by Jewish Leadership in Israel to gain support for the Israeli State.
Recent opposition to his views has arisen from one of his rivals, cleric Mahdi Karroubi. Karroubi is running against the President in the upcoming Iranian Presidential Election. Karroubi believes that Ahmadinejad’s disbelief in the issue farther advances the Israeli cause. Though many Israeli’s might dispute that claim.
Whichever the case may be, Ahmadinejad’s denial’s stand to hurt Iran’s stance in the modern world. There are very few who would not stand behind Israel and Jewish people in general in support of the truth behind the reality of the Holocaust.
