Jewish Identity

Holocaust Denial

The above is a link to the ADL's press release about the Conference being held in Tehran. The entire thing seems absurd! But the part that I found most interesting is that apparently the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad thinks that, "believes that if he can prove that the Holocaust is an historical fiction, then not only will Israel's legitimacy disappear, but it will be revealed that Jews are frauds and imposters who tricked the world into giving them a state they did not 'deserve."
What kind of crazy person thinks that we can make up all those pictures, keeping in mind that the technology that we have today did not exist then. How would we magically make 6 million people disappear? It's just the craziest think I've ever heard and the whole thing makes me mad. And the fact that well educated people would chose to attend this conference makes me even more mad! Who gave these people their degrees? There are at least three Americans there, which just blows my mind, how embarrassing that some wack job from this country is at that conference.
Obviously the Holocaust is not fiction, but would the state of Israel not exist without it?
I personally believe that the creation of the Jewish state would have happened with or without the Holocaust. I think the world already knew that the Jewish people needed a state of their own because of the persecution that they faced in other countries for years.
