ASSOCIATED PRESS: JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Monday not to allow Holocaust deniers to carry out a second Holocaust against the Jewish people.

Speaking at the ceremony marking Israel's annual memorial day for the 6 million Jews killed by Nazis and their collaborators during World War II, Netanyahu also described a U.N. anti-racism conference under way in Geneva as an anti-Israel event.

The hawkish prime minister, who took office about three weeks ago, criticized the president of Switzerland for meeting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the conference. Netanyahu called Ahmadinejad a Holocaust denier who wants to perpetrate another massacre of Jews.

"We will not allow the Holocaust deniers to carry out another Holocaust against the Jewish people. This is the supreme duty of the state of Israel. This is my supreme duty as prime minister of Israel," Netanyahu said. >>> By Mark Lavie | Monday, April 20, 2009

Vatican Envoy: Holocaust Deniers Can't Be Considered Catholic

HAARETZ: The Vatican's envoy to Israel asserted on Monday that Holocaust deniers could not be considered Catholic, in an apparent bid to temper tensions ahead of a papal visit in May.

Papal Nuncio Antonio Franco was seemingly referring to Pope Benedict XVI's reinstatement of bishop Bishop Williamson, who has denied the full extent of the Holocaust and says there were no gas chambers. The move sparked an outcry among Israelis and Jews across the world.

Williamson later apologized for his remarks.

Yad Vashem chairman Avner Shalev expressed satisfaction at Franco's comment, saying that the conference was a step toward "building trust and creating dialogue, in the wake of the latest crisis with the Vatican." >>> By Nir Hasson, Haaretz Correspondent, and The Associated Press | Tuesday, March 10, 2009
