How ironic that the President of Switzerland, the same state that served as the notorious banker of Nazi Germany, secretly offered his services to Iran: he is willing to host a Holocaust conference in Geneva. The topic? "Various Perceptions of the Holocaust."
"Switzerland offers 'Holocaust perception' meet with Iran," by Gil Yaron for YNET:
Switzerland secretly approached Iran offering to hold a conference regarding "various perceptions of the Holocaust" in Geneva, the Swiss magazine Weltwoche reported earlier this week.The proposal was made via confidential memorandum from Switzerland's President, Micheline Calmy-Rey, to Iranian deputy foreign minister Saaid Jalili, during his visit in Switzerland last December.
The Swiss foreign ministry objected to the idea, annulling it. Calmy-Rey's proposal, which would have voiced anew the Iranian doubts over the very existence of the Holocaust, outraged many Jewish organizations, which demanded she apologize.
Calmy-Rey was subject to her own party's criticism as well, as her accusers said that should her proposal be realized she would have compromised Switzerland's international diplomatic status.Western diplomats described the proposal as a "clumsy, dangerous idea, intended to help Iran out of its seclusion." The Weltwoche magazine, which broke the story, called the idea "a stupid, naïve notion" saying the Iranians would have clearly used the conference for their own agenda.
The Swiss president, the magazine assumed, hoped the proposal would push the Swiss initiative for alternative negotiations between Tehran and the West over the Iranian nuclear plan.
Dhimmitude personified.
The Swiss president refused to comment on the report in the Weltwoche, but issued a statement saying "the existence of the Holocaust is a historical fact and must never be doubted."
Then why offer Iran a chance to deny the Holocaust on Swiss soil?

... , the same state that served as the notorious banker of Nazi Germany,
and permitted the passage of trains full of French Jews on their way to the death camps to pass through Swiss territory!
And in other Switzerland-related dhimmitude and jihad-enabling news, Swiss Dick (he of the glittering stint)

has been making a splash recently, passing sanctimonious judgment on sovereign countries like Romania and Poland.

A twist on the time share vacation schemes , We will host your anti semitic congress and while we are at it, let me tell you about our banking structure.
They are here YoU have to! Or they will wage war on Us! It says in the quearan!
Posting above goes to footwashing//hee/ anyways
I do not see how another country can speak for another country. How that would be even considered!
The Swiss were not the only one's banking for Hitler. Prescott Bush, G.W's great grandaddy, and former US Senator, had property confiscated from him by the fed's for violation of the 'Trading with the enemy act'. The Union Bank, of NY or Jersey, or wherever, was Banking for Hitler. Prescott was also involved in other shady deal's and activities, favoring Hitler for financial reasons. He and another arch-criminal, Avril Harriman, were up to their ear's in Hitlarian plot's and sub plot's. Not so much for political reason's, but to line their own pockets, with Hitlers blood money.
One week they want to ban minarets, the next they're encouraging Holocaust dilution (a little less repulsive than denial, but on the road there).
Schiz-erland?
Since when is the Holocaust still up for debate?!?!
60 short years later and were set on another course for history to reapeat itself. what a frikken joke! Holocaust deniers are not human beings.
To oppose a holocaust conference in Switzerland is oppression and just proves, once again, that the Jooozzzz are in control everywhere. Otherwise why would Switzerland humiliate the Muslims in such a nasty way?
On the other hand Muslims would sincerely like to conduct business with the west, but even England still shows some resistance to the Islamic way:

I might just be suffering from an attack of cock-eyed optimism here, but it is just barely possible that the Swiss are hoping to sucker the Iranians into the heart of Europe and embarrass them with the facts.
It might to too much to hope for...but wouldn't it be somethin'?
The Holocaust was just the tip of the iceberg if Hitler had won. 9 million were killed in the death camps. 6 million were Jews. The other 3 million were others on Hitlers list of unwanted people. All the Slavic people of Eastern Europe were going to be wipedout if Hitler had won. Jews were first on the list.
Many Holocaust deniers say these numbers are too larg to have happened. Thay are infact just a fraction of the total deaths in WWII.
Well, the Swiss were neutral in the war against the Nazis. Why wouldn't they be here? Only (welcome) surprise was the news a few days ago here that some are willing to put a ban on minerets.
"Various Perceptions of the Holocaust:"
The Swiss perception: Was it good or bad (for us Schwitzers)? Answer: Yes and no. Yes, because the Jews' gold and bank accounts laid unclaimed in our banks, No, because we had to give some of them back to the pesky Jew heirs.
"the existence of the Holocaust is a historical fact and must never be doubted."
--Swiss President
"But then there is the Iranian perception, also a historical fact, the historical fact of the holocaust was invented as such by the Jews so that they could lay claim to Islamic land: 'Palestine.'"
It behooves the Swiss to give that perception an equal chance, doesn't it?
After all, Switzerland is a neutral country, everybody is treated alike. The Swiss are fair.
I feel ashamed for my country. But that's a mere additonal proof that socialism is abject (Calmy-Rey is a socialist from Geneva).

Don't see why you should be ashamed. First of all, the conference did not take place. Calmy-Rey is an idiot, but she is checked.
"and permitted the passage of trains full of French Jews on their way to the death camps to pass through Swiss territory!"
Geography is not your strong side.
