UN Votes Against Holocaust Denial
[AP/Houston Chronicle] Alexandra Olson - The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution Friday, introduced by the U.S. and approved by consensus, condemning "without any reservation any denial of the Holocaust." Only Iran rejected it. "While the nations of the world gather here to affirm the historicity of the Holocaust with the intent of never again allowing genocide, a member of this assembly is acquiring the capabilities of carrying out its own," said Israeli Ambassador Dan Gillerman. "The president of Iran is in fact saying, 'There really was no Holocaust, but just in case, we shall finish the job.'"
