]]> Ahmadinejad’s Holocaust Remarks Backfire At Home http://middleeastanalyst.com/2009/04/30/ahmadinejads-holocaust-remarks-backfire-at-home/ Thu, 30 Apr 2009 10:01:50 +0000 http://middleeastanalyst.com/?p=110 Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s holocaust denial may have grabbed the headlines abroad.
However in Iran, they have backfired.
Some Iranian presidential candidates, instead of denying the holocaust, are now actually confirming it.
More amazing is the fact that some of his right wing allies are so furious about the publicity which he has given to this tragedy, that they have accused him of being a closet Jew.
