The recent symposium in Iran designed to debunk the existence of the Holocaust gained much press coverage but no one, as far as I have been able to ascertain, has ever tried to point out a glaring and yet very basic contradiction about the participants.
To set up my point I draw your attention to the sponsors of the event – a radical Islamic, ergo virulently anti-Semitic nation (at least in its policies and stated goals), and those in attendance which made up not just a smattering of “kooks” but serious people whose sole commonality was that on different levels they despise Jews and the state of Israel and unapologetically espouse its destruction.
Having said this, I now digress back in history to the Third Reich and many of its spokespeople. Its tenets and precepts in Mein Kampf and elsewhere stated that it was contemptuous of all non-Aryan races, yet it was a signatory of the Triparite Pact thus forming an alliance with Italy and Japan, two nations and races which the Nazis pronounced as inferior to themselves. So why did they align themselves with “inferiors”? Simply because it was convenient for them since they had an adversarial relationship with the same people at the same time in history. Can there be any doubt that had they won the war, tht it wouldn't be long before would it have been before Hitler declared war on them and embarked upon a racial purification program against them?
I submit that the same is true of the participants of the anti-Holocaust conference in Iran. The same neo-Nazis who attended currently subjugate their distaste for the Arabs and Moslems as they fall into the category of an inferior race by their standards. But they have a common enemy in Israel and world Jewry. So let’s extrapolate this alliance into the future to a hypothetical time when their ideal of a world without Jews (spearheaded by the elimination of Israel) ever became fact, how long would it be before the neo-Nazis declared their hatred for Arabs and Moslems and started work on eliminating them from their “ethnically pure” world? And, by the same token, how long would it before the Moslems would place them on the list for forced conversion or destruction or both because they were religious apostates as prescribed in the Koran?
Their collective and temporary fervor of expedience against Israel has caused them to forget one relentless fact of history and this is the so-called “principle of unintended consequences” which in this case would result second-handedly in the results I have just outlined.
