Iranian Cartoonist Launches Holocaust Denial Web Site Holocartoons.com

imageAccording to a story that's been on the wires but seems driven by posts to any number of blogs, most importantly the New York Times', the conservative, anti-reform cartoonist and Holocaust denier Maziar Bijani has a new web site devoted to a certain portion of his work. Holocartoons.com for now seems to contain some of the cartoonist's previous work of an anti-Jewish nature, which includes a set of illustrations for a 2008 book on the subject of the Holocaust and a book of anti-Jewish caricatures that came out last year.

The NYT post notes that the site launch is troubling more for its country of origin than the fact that some moron is making cartoons on the subject: the denial of the Holocaust seems to be more or less a foundational aspect of Iranian foreign policy these days.
