U.S. drafts Holocaust denial resolution
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070122/...locaust_denial
The jews keep at it. This clearly violates our first amendment. And like david duke said, if its such a proven fact then why imprison those for questioning it? Ill tell you, because the facts about it are lies.

UNITED NATIONS - The United States has drafted a U.N. resolution condemning
the denial of the Holocaust, a spokesman said Monday, a month after

widespread anger by holding a conference casting doubt on the Nazi genocide of
Jews during World War II.
According
to a copy of the draft made available to The Associated Press, the proposed
resolution urges all member states to "reject any denial of the Holocaust,"
saying that "ignoring the historical fact of these terrible events increases the
risk they will be repeated."
The draft resolution "condemns without any
reservation any denial of the Holocaust," but doesn't single out any specific
country for criticism. The U.S. said it planned to circulate the draft to
General Assembly members on Monday.
The December conference in Tehran
gathered 67 writers and researchers from 30 countries, most of whom argue that
either the Holocaust did not happen or that it was vastly exaggerated. It was
backed by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called the Holocaust a
"myth" and said

"wiped off the map."
Richard Grenell, spokesman for the U.S. mission to the
U.N., said the draft resolution was being circulated ahead of the U.N.'s
International Day of Commemoration in memory of victims of the Holocaust on Jan.
27.
He said its purpose was to "make perfectly clear that denying or
minimizing the importance of the Holocaust is unacceptable to the U.N.
membership." It was targeted toward "any country, organization or individuals"
who would act in such a way, he said, without naming any country
specifically.
Gilad Cohen, a counselor in the Israeli mission, referred
indirectly to the Iran conference, saying "these incidents cannot be ignored any
longer."
"This is a matter for the U.N. to say loud and clear, 'Enough is
enough,'" he said. "Iran is wanting to have nuclear weapons and deny the
Holocaust. This is something nobody should accept."
The spokesman for the
Iranian mission to the U.N. did not immediately return a phone call seeking
comment.
Iran has been locked in a long-running dispute with the U.S. and its
allies over its nuclear program, which Washington maintains is geared toward
developing atomic weapons. Iran says its program is purely for peaceful
purposes.

Security Council passed a resolution last month imposing limited trade
sanctions on Tehran for its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment, a process
that produces the material for nuclear reactors or bombs. On Monday, Iran said
it barred 38 members of a U.N. nuclear inspection team from entering the country
in what appeared to be an act of retaliation
