Anti-Semitic French comedian says backed by Iran

Dieudonné M'bala M'bala, who once referred to Holocaust remembrance as 'pornographic,' says Ahmadinejad is funding his 'cultural war against Zionism'

An openly anti-Semitic French comedian admitted Saturday that he received funds from Iran in order to wage a war of culture against Zionism.

 

Dieudonné M'bala M'bala told reporters of the meeting held a week ago between himself and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

 

"We received a substantial budget allowing us to make movies on par with Hollywood, which serves as the long arm of Zionist culture," he said at a press conference in Paris.
