Tehran - A senior Iranian cleric, Grand Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi
(Photo), speaking on Saturday in the city of Qom, said: "The HOLOCAUST is nothing but
superstition, but Zionists say that people of the world should be forced to accept
this. The truth about the HOLOCAUST is not clear, and when the researchers want to examine whether it is true or the Jews have created it to pose as
victims, they jail the researchers." The comments came after Iran's
President Ahmadinejad dismissed on Friday revived Israeli-Palestinian peace talks as
doomed to fail and said the people of the Middle East are capable of removing the Zionist
regime from the world scene.
