Let's boil down what Ahmadenijad has said

1) The holocaust didn't happen - NOT TRUE. It happened. We may quibble on the numbers, but it happened.

2) The modern Israeli population was formed by a well documented colonization process called Zionism from ~1850-1947. Which culminated in the modern state of Israel being declared and blessed by the UN in '48 in a sort of repayment for the extermination of the Jews. - TRUE

3) Europe should take in Israel - up for discussion.


So can anyone still say that it was just to punish a population of Arabs for what the Germans did? Or what the Romans did?
