As for the holocaust denial, the Iranian translation is this:
“‘If the Europeans are telling the truth in their claim that they have killed six million Jews in the Holocaust during the World War II - which seems they are right in their claim because they insist on it and arrest and imprison those who oppose it, why the Palestinian nation should pay for the crime. Why have they come to the very heart of the Islamic world and are committing crimes against the dear Palestine using their bombs, rockets, missiles and sanctions.’ […] ‘If you have committed the crimes so give a piece of your land somewhere in Europe or America and Canada or Alaska to them to set up their own state there.’ […] Ahmadinejad said some have created a myth on holocaust and hold it even higher than the very belief in religion and prophets […] The president further said, ‘If your civilization consists of aggression, displacing the oppressed nations, suppressing justice-seeking voices and spreading injustice and poverty for the majority of people on the earth, then we say it out loud that we despise your hollow civilization.’”
That, and other passages from the speech that I cannot find on short notice, but. have actually read a year ago, may express some doubt whether the whole holocaust business went down the way it is usually reported, but that was not his point.
His point was that IF IT DID the way the Europeans report it, why the myth of the holocaust should be used to create a state in the ME even though they had nothing to do with it.
Myth, not as is in “hey, it did not happen”, but in “hey you are building a folklore around it justifying all sorts of things with it”. He is not alone in this, I can point to perfectly respectable Jewish authors who complained about the very same thing, though not in the same context.
So, my stance now is this:
Has he denied the holocaust? Not outright, but he expressed doubts.
However, his main point was that if the Europeans say that this is what happened, why Palestine and not Bavaria?[/quote]
You are again wrong, or purposefully lying to yourself to sell some politicized crap:
August 26, 2011
“The Zionist regime’s establishment was based on numerous deceptions and lies and one of the biggest lies was the Holocaust.”
(Address at Tehran University on Quds Day)
This, by Ahmadinnajacket, is a lie in every regard. Whether he chooses to use it as a political statement, or thesis, or weapon, is irrelevant; using a lie for political purposes does not convert it to a truth, it does not make it acceptable, and it does not make for a legitimate historical and political argument. Not even in Austria.

Whole speech, text. [/quote]
I provide the citation–you go look it up. Then tell us all about its peaceful intention, how it was misgtranslated (by his own Iranian news organization), how the poor man is misunderstood, repeatedly, over 20 years.
That quote is a lie, it is contextualized as a lie. And you are an apologist for a liar.

I have posted the whole text of his 2005 speech, which clearly shows that he was taken out of context and deliberately misinterpreted, so the western media at least fucked up once already.
Also, you claim he said something, you prove it.

But Dear Demi-God Ahmadinapologist, this is precisely the same speech which you yourself , on the previous page, AGREED was an example–FINALLY–of Holocaust Denial.
Is the Demi-God confused by fact? Or is He so entrapped in his own cowardly rhetoric he cna’t remember which lie to follow?
Please try to keep your lies and dissimulations straight. You are giving a bad name to genocidal murderers everywhere.
