PUSH FOR GENOCIDE INCITEMENT CHARGES AGAINST IRANIAN PRES.

Move to Bring Genocide Case Against Ahmadinejad as Iran President Repeats Call to Wipe Out Israel - Robert Tait and Ed Pilkington
The outgoing U.S. Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, is backing a call for the president of Iran to be charged with inciting genocide because of his speeches advocating the destruction of the State of Israel. Bolton will appear Thursday among a panel of diplomats and lawyers calling for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to be prosecuted, convened by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. The call for legal action came as Ahmadinejad repeated his onslaught against Israel at an international gathering of Holocaust deniers in Tehran where he said the Israeli state would soon be wiped out.

U.S. Condemns Holocaust Denial Conference
A statement released by the White House Tuesday said: "The United States condemns the conference on the Holocaust convoked by the Iranian regime on Monday in Tehran....The Iranian regime perversely seeks to call the historical fact of those atrocities into question and provide a platform for hatred. The gathering of Holocaust deniers in Tehran is an affront to the entire civilized world, as well as to the traditional Iranian values of tolerance and mutual respect." (White House)
