While the Holocaust denial in this clip is especially troubling, it’s unfortunately become a standard on news & opinion programs in the Middle East.
The thing that gets me is the accusation that Al Qaeda and the Mossad were working together on 9/11. In order to accept this nonsense, one would have to believe the following:
1) Al Qaeda can set aside it’s antisemitic feeling long enough to work with Israel in attacking a more-hated enemy.
2) Israel would side with organizations that want it wiped off the map in order to attack its closest ally.
Being a filmmaker doesn’t make one an expert on world events. If anything, it makes you an expert on fabricating stories that are more entertaining than real life.
Mr. Talebzadeh is alias for a different name. He graduated from an American Missionary School in Teheran prior to attending Columbia University. His father was a high ranking officer in the Imperial Armed Forces. He had many Jewish friends in school. I would not be surprised if he is a Holocaust denier because it is a lucrative business where he lives, just as it was for the 3rd Reich in Germany.
With all the boasting the government of Iran makes about the moral fabric of the West and the State of Israel, it certainly does know how to twist the truth to fit its own hegemonistic ambition. Mr. Talebzadeh may have picked up his queues from the old KGB or better yet, Joseph Goebbels.
