Germans cry foul on Iranian Jew-baiting

Why is Ahmadinejad baiting? Does outright ignorance somehow nourish his supporters or just make both him and them look stupid, bellicose and ultimately self-destructive? Perhaps in his world the more enemies you have the more powerful you seem but the end game of that is not usually successful.

This from, just for irony, a Deutsche Welle bulletin.

Iran once again calls Holocaust a myth

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has once again described the Holocaust as a "myth." He made the comments in a speech in the city of Zahedan that was broadcast live on state TV.

Ahmadinejad caused uproar recently when he made similar disparaging remarks about the Holocaust and said Israel should be moved to Europe. In a reaction to his latest outburst, Israel has urged the world to "open its eyes" to the Iranian regime.

Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has described Ahmadinejad's comments as "shocking and unacceptable" and said he'd summoned Iran's ambassador.
