The Confederation of Jewish Associations of Venezuela, on behalf of the country's Jewish community, has issued its categorical rejection of evil statements of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who distort the historical truth insists on denying the Holocaust in which they were massacred six million Jews by the Nazi regime.
Ahmadinejad, with insolence and treachery, repeats this message of hate, cynically delivered while we were celebrating the arrival of a new Jewish year marked the 70 anniversary of the beginning of World War II. This not only desecrates the memory of the victims of the worst genocide in history fully documented, but it offends the survivors, many of whom have tattoos on their arms with indelible Nazi barbarism which marked his victims.
Not satisfied with this, in his speech at the 64th UN General Assembly, insisted on blaming Jews for all the ills of mankind with his accusations of domination "of politics, economy and culture of the majority of world ... establishing a new form of slavery and damaging the reputation of other nations ... "
As Venezuelan Jews, and community members are still living many of those who suffered firsthand the horrors of the camps, their children and grandchildren, we strongly condemn and with one voice, the unprecedented anti-Semitic remarks of President Iran who also is calling for the destruction of Israel, a country that unite us deep ancestral ties.
urge national and international community to reject these positions and to spare no efforts to strengthen peace, coexistence and mutual respect among peoples and nations of the world.
