So, I've been reading up on it, but I am confused. A teacher in my school asked me about it, and she said that from what it seemed, there were some Orthodox Jews there. But I'm kind of skeptical that it is. So can someone please explain what group of people they are and why they are at the conference?

ADDED: Are there Orthodox Jews or any Jews at all who don't believe the Holocaust happened?

There are a group of Orthodox Jews who are opposed to the creation of the modern Jewish State of Israel. These so-called Jews believe that there can only be a Jewish state again in Israel if the Messiah comes and brings back as Jewish state. They would rather see the destruction of the modern state of Israel and the death of untold Jews then see their beliefs be proven wrong. So seeing these "orthodox" Jews lining up with Iran doesn't really surprise me. They are blind fools (and that is the nicest way I can put it)!!!

There are some ultra-conservative Orthodox Jews who do not support the existence of the state of Israel. These Orthodox Jews believe that it is God's will that they stay in exile until the end of time. Through Zionism, or the creation of a Jewish state in the Holy Land, these Orthodox Jews believe that many Jews are disobeying God's will. As to why this group of Jews denies the Holocaust, I'm not really sure. They may argue that Jews use the Holocaust as a false reason for starting the Israeli state (just a quick guess).

The orthodox Jews in Iran are an endangered class, it is sickening and saddening that they would be trotted out like trained monkeys to give credence to the total insanity of this conference. They are likely doing it because they have no other choice.
This conference is one of Nazi tradition. It's intent is to diminish the idea of the state of Israel and encourage antisemitism in preparation for things to come. What are "Things to come"? Ahmadinijad makes it clear---the destruction of Israel by nuclear force.
One need only notice that the conference is attended by David Duke, former Grand Dragon of the KKK, and wannabe politico, to gauge it's credibility.
The sad thing is that other overt and covert haters of Israel will likely begin to cozy up to Iran---Jimmy Carter anyone?
In conclusion, History shows us the path that Hitler took to the Holocaust. Now we are seeing this path being taken again in Iran; Will we stand by and watch as we did then, or take a stand using the path of History?

Geraldo did something on it tonight on Fox but I didn't catch the whole story. I think they want to deny that the holocaust took place.
