Why Iran denies the Holocaust


Iran's Motivation for Ridiculing the Holocaust -Richard L. Cravatts

[Some] Muslims want the occurrence of the Holocaust to be proven false to eliminate the cataclysmic social and political event that led the world to accept and endorse the creation of the Jewish state.

It is also politically expedient to position the Palestinians as the ultimate victims among victimized peoples, and this is much easier without the inexpressible evil of the Holocaust as core element of Israel's tragic heritage.

Duh. I don't think anyone thought it was because everyone was hoping there were 6 million more Jews in the world than they thought.
