Holocaust is a 'myth': Iran's Ahmadinejad

Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched a fresh attack against Israel on Wednesday, describing the Holocaust as a "myth" and saying the Jewish state should be moved to Europe or North America.

"They have invented a myth that Jews were massacred and place this above God, religions and the prophets," the outspoken president said in a speech carried live on state television.

"If somebody in their country questions God, nobody says anything, but if somebody criticises the myth of the massacre of Jew, the Zionist loudspeakers and the governments in the pay of Zionism will start to scream," he said.

"Our proposal is this: give a piece of your land in Europe, the United States, Canada or Alaska so they (the Jews) can create their own state," said Ahmadinejad, who was speaking to thousands of people in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan

Iranian Cleric: Muslims Could Nuke Israel


Ruling Iranian cleric Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani declared Friday that the Muslim world could survive a nuclear exchange with Israel - while accomplishing the goal of obliterating the Jewish state.

"[The] application of an atomic bomb would not leave anything in Israel - but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim world," Hashemi-Rafsanjani said, in quotes picked up by the Iran Press Service.

"If a day comes when the world of Islam is duly equipped with the arms Israel has in possession, the strategy of colonialism would face a stalemate," he posited.

Analysts told IPS that Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani’s speech, delivered at a Tehran prayer service, was the first time that a prominent Islamic leader openly suggested a nuclear attack against the Israel.

Six weeks ago, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a "World Without Zionism" conference that Israel should be "wiped off the map."

Last week, United Nations nuclear watchdog Mohammed ElBaradei said Iran would be able to produce nuclear weapons in a matter of months.

(Man this guy is big trouble!)

[GeronL]

Apparently the AFP is only days behind.

bttt

[Khashayar]

he is an idiot

Believe me, he is psychologically unstable

[BigFinn]

Tora, tora, tora... I'd venture to say this is a statement of war.... better heed it.

[HAL9000]

Apparently the AFP is only days behind.

This seems to be a new incident - it says he "launched a fresh attack against Israel on Wednesday".

[MJY1288]

Ahmadinejad is allowing his mouth to get himself into situation his ass can't handle. This loud mouth cowardly Terrorist is gonna find himself isolated very shortly, and the Iranian economy will pay a heavy price when sanctions are imposed. And if he keeps talking trash directed at the Israeli's, he will find himself in the cross hairs of a Predator Drone and/or possibly an all our assault on his Nuke facilities and Military bases

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

What a maroon!

[GeronL]

Oh, an Iranian rerun, because it didn't work the first time?

[Octar]

This clown isn't likely to be President much longer. He makes even the mullahs cringe in embarassment. Not to mention the sanctions the civilized world is beginning to insist on and the destruction of their nuclear facilities which loudmouth Rafsenjani has almost made certain. Rational Iranians have started to call for dickweed's impeachment.

[Bazooka]

Well....he may soon be the president of the biggest glow-in-the-dark parking lot of the Middle East.

[I'm ALL Right!]

He's living in a world all his own, isn't he?

[singfreedom]

Does anyone REALLY doubt this guy was one of the hostage takers during the Carter debacle?

[singfreedom]

He doesn't seem to take into account the effect OUR nuclear weapons will have on his "little corner of the world".

I've often thought the Middle East would look better as a little bit of glowing glass!

[Herakles]

""Our proposal is this: give a piece of your land in Europe, the United States, Canada or Alaska so they (the Jews) can create their own state," said Ahmadinejad, who was speaking to thousands of people in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan"

I have a better idea. Why don't we just turn our heads while Israel gets some new land in the Middle East that has oil on it. I think there is some available east of Iraq and west of Afghanistan.

Ping

It appears that this is a new one ("Wednesday" mentioned in the piece and the 14th for publication).

"Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched a fresh attack against Israel on Wednesday, describing the Holocaust as a "myth" and saying the Jewish state should be moved to Europe or North America."

And on Friday (comment #3, from NewsMax):

"Ruling Iranian cleric Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani declared Friday that the Muslim world could survive a nuclear exchange with Israel - while accomplishing the goal of obliterating the Jewish state . . . Analysts told IPS that Mr. Hashemi-Rafsanjani’s speech, delivered at a Tehran prayer service, was the first time that a prominent Islamic leader openly suggested a nuclear attack against the Israel."

[familyop]

From other news, it doesn't look likely that our political or military leaders are going to make a move soon. It also appears that the Iranian President and his Mullah are trying to instigate a move now by our military and/or Israel's.

Hopefully, improvements in defenses for Israel are and will be ongoing without pause. If so, the mad ones will divert their gazes to countries that should become better allies for us.

Ahmadinejad

The man is on acid.

[beyond the sea]

"If your civilization consists of unjust acts, oppression and poverty for the majority of the globe to provide your own people welfare, then we shout at the top of our voices that we hate your frail civilization"

This is the one proclamation or idea that these people believe that will cause the first nuclear-type war. I say "type", because personally I think the USA has weapons much more interesting and devastating than nuclear weapons.

But these people actually convincing a segment of their group that our civilization is unjust and oppressive gives them (the false and poorly based) direction and impetus to try to remove us from their world.

The Muslim world has a few serious problems ahead.

The man is on acid.

Unfortunately, he's just taking cues from The Democratic Party.
If Joe Lieberman speaks out against this guy, I can just hear the
core of today's Democratic Party whining about Lieberman being
a "danger to world peace".

That should come as no suprise when we hear about Europeans and Canadians
being concerned about what they call the two most dangerous
nations on earth:
The USA and Israel.

[beaver fever]

Listen I'm Canadian. I'm with you bro'. I also know a few Iranians who escaped these wackos so they could lead normal lives.

Ahmadinejad is 100% certifiably insane. He is nuttier than Kholmeini and that's going some distance.

[Heatseeker]

"[The] application of an atomic bomb would not leave anything in Israel - but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim world," Hashemi-Rafsanjani said, in quotes picked up by the Iran Press Service.

Wonder if Rafsanjani's looked at a map lately. There are hundreds of thousands of Palestinians living cheek-to-jowl with the Israelis. To say nothing of Israeli Arabs. But then Rafsanjani's not Arab so maybe that's his idea of acceptable damage. In any case, the odds seem to be increasing that parts of Tehran will be very quiet neighborhoods for the next several millennia.

Okay.

I want Iran moved to Hell.

I'm ready to fly another Enola Gay, tomorrow.

He's only confirming that Jews in Israel don't deserve their country - they bow to the grossly misinformed and Saudi supplicating Condi and Pres. Bush:

[goldstategop]

The Jews are so clever, they dreamt up the story of their own annihilation. Anti-semites really do believe the Jews control the world.

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie.Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")

[goldstategop]

No - what's more like it is America is under the thumbs of the ZOG. That's a refrain you hear from David Duke and the fever swamps of the Left that use a different phrase to instantiate the same view - neo-cons. Now its been joined by Islamofascist nutjobs like Ahmedinejad. What they all really mean is the Jews run the government of the world's most powerful country and Bush is really Ariel Sharon's puppet.

[Yehuda]

"What they all really mean is the Jews run the government of the world's most powerful country and Bush is really Ariel Sharon's puppet. "

And that's why Israel is getting ready to give up 90% of Judea and Samaria and cut Jerusalem in hallf? because we CONTROL the WH?
