Just days after a neo-Nazi terrorist denied the Shoah and murdered two Germans, three members of the German Bundestag are facing charges of hypocrisy for meeting last week with Ali Larijani, an Iranian Holocaust denier who defends the obliteration of Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShame on you, The Greens!\u201d British antisemitism expert Julia Lenarz tweeted. \u201cDays after the synagogue attack in Halle, vice president of the Bundestag Claudia Roth met Iranian Holocaust denier Ali Larijani. You can\u2019t have it both, fight antisemitism and embrace notorious Jew-haters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Iranian regime-controlled Tehran Times media outlet shows a picture of Claudia Roth, vice president of the Green Party in the German parliament, greeting Larijani, the clerical regime\u2019s parliament speaker.<\/span><\/p>\n

A second photograph of Roth show her euphorically welcoming Larijani with open arms and a smile.<\/span><\/p>\n

The widely-circulated Bild paper reported that MPs Peter Beyer, of Chancellor Angela Merkel\u2019s Christian Democratic Union, was also present at the meeting with Larijani. Dr. Kazem Moussavi, an Iranian dissident living in Germany, wrote on Twitter that \u201cRoth presents herself as a feminist but courts representatives of the Islamic regime that represses women in Iran and wants to destroy Israel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The meeting was an inter-parliamentary gathering that took place in Belgrade.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roth, who is widely considered a pro-Iranian regime MP, has previously met with Larijani. In 2009, Larijani defended the Holocaust denial of former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the Munich security conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

The German authorities declined at the time to prosecute Larijani for Holocaust denial. Larijani, who has urged the destruction of the Jewish state, has called Israel \u201cracist\u201d and a threat to the Middle East and \u201chumanity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2015, Claudia Roth (Green Party), Dagmar W\u00f6hrl (Christian Social Union party) and Stefan Rebmann (Social Democrats) met Larijani in Iran. Larijani traveled to Belgrade with Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran\u2019s former deputy foreign minister and who currently serves as special assistant to Larijani.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amir-Abdollahian is secretary-general of the International Conference on Supporting Palestine\u2019s Intifada, which includes the terrorist entities Islamic Jihad and Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amir-Abdollahian is also involved in financing the terrorist movement Hezbollah. According to Bild, Germany\u2019s parliament issued a statement that Roth \u201ccondemned the permanent threats of officers and the so-called revolutionary guards against Israel\u201d during the talks with the Iranians in Belgrade.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bundestag statement said the security of Israel has an \u201cabsolute priority for Germany\u2019s policies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bild journalist Antje Schippmann savaged the German MPs for meeting with Larijani in a commentary on Sunday, titled a \u201cShame for the Bundestag.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the extreme right-wing attack in Halle, all parties asserted that there was no room for antisemitism,\u201d Schippmann wrote. \u201cThey invoked the special obligation of Germany in the fight against the hatred of Jews.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Writing of Roth\u2019s embrace of Larijani, Schippmann wrote \u201cFortunately, it is unimaginable that she would warmly greet representatives of Nazi gangs in a similar fashion, and only to announce later through her spokesman that their antisemitic threats had been \u2018severely condemned.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bild journalist asked \u201cWhere does this insufferable double moral standards come from?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Schippmann concluded her commentary by asserting that \u201cThe fight against antisemitism is all-encompassing or not at all\u201d and said Roth\u2019s statements against antisemitism are not credible due to her hypocrisy.<\/span><\/p>\n
