TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday expressed doubt that the Holocaust occurred and suggested Israel be moved to Europe.
His comments, reported by the official IRNA news agency from a news conference he gave in the Saudia Arabian city of Mecca, follow his call in October for Israel to be "wiped off the map," which sparked widespread international condemnation.
"Some European countries insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces and they insist on it to the extent that if anyone proves something contrary to that they condemn that person and throw them in jail," IRNA quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.
"Although we don't accept this claim, if we suppose it is true, our question for the Europeans is: is the killing of innocent Jewish people by Hitler the reason for their support to the occupiers of Jerusalem?"
"If the Europeans are honest they should give some of their provinces in Europe -- like in Germany, Austria or other countries -- to the Zionists and the Zionists can establish their state in Europe. You offer part of Europe and we will support it," he added.
Close allies when Iran was ruled by the U.S.-backed Shah, Iran and Israel have become implacable foes since Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution.
Israel accuses Iran of giving arms and funding to militant Palestinian groups such as Islamic Jihad and of building nuclear weapons. Iran denies the charges.
Tehran calls Israel a "terrorist state" and has developed missiles which can reach the Jewish state. It says it would use them if Israel tried to bomb its nuclear facilities.
Earlier in his remarks, the Iranian president, a former Revolutionary Guardsman who won a surprise election victory in June, said:
"The question is where do those who rule in Palestine as occupiers come from? Where were they born? Where did their fathers live? They have no roots in Palestine but they have taken the fate of Palestine in their hands.
"Isn't the right to national self-determination one of the principles of the United Nations charter? Why do they deprive Palestinians of this right?"
..................
Jimmy Carter's Iranian legacy in full bloom.
the state of palestine never existed.
Freedom of speech makes it easier to spot the idiots. LOL
Non!
Well, they did get the jews to move already abd re-size Israel.
Might work twice.
Can any say "Ethnic Cleansing?"
Palenstinians are Arabs. There are already plenty of Arab states.
Uh - too late. The Europeans have already given some of their provinces to the Jihadists and they have already established their state in Europe.
Ya know, for completely selfish reasons, I wouldn't mind if Israel were move to the United States..
Where did their father's fathers live...and their fathers? Go back far enough and you find we are all thieves living on land forcibly taken from others. Apparantly, this bozo doesn't know how Cyrus and other tribal leaders originally obtainted the land for the Persians.
"Isn't the right to national self-determination one of the principles of the United Nations charter? Why do they deprive Palestinians of this right?"
So he supports the creation of an independent Kurdish state...and one for Egypts Copts? The man is a fool, as was Woodrow Wilson. Too bad TR isn't alive.
Seems like Jews have a more historic claim to Persia/Iran than Muslims.
FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Can't these people read the Bible, or do the mullahs forbid it and behead them if they try? Jerusulem is mentioned as Israel's home HOW many times? And how often is Jerusulem mentioned in the Koran? Once, to my recollection, in Mohammed's alleged dream. I don't think Mohammed even ever WENT to Jerusulem.
Likewise, I don't think "Palestine" even existed until the British Mandate and I believe most "Palestinians" are Jordanian Arabs.
For one, the president of Israel, Moshe Katsav, was born in Iran.
I suggest that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad be relocated to the dark side of the moon.
Hmmmm. Memo from Virginia to head Iraninan nutburger:
You, sir, are a fubarhead! A addled-brained, trash-talking, major allahu fubarhead!
What the heck is in the water over there?!?!?!?!
