Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is again spouting Jew-hatred, and displaying his complete ignorance of history (but what's rationality when expousing genocide?). In October, he urged that Israel be "wiped off the map." Today, he:
...expressed doubt that the Holocaust occurred and suggested Israel be moved to Europe. ...
In his own words:
"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, we ask the Europeans: 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.
Here's the kicker:
"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?"
Since Ahmadinejad brought up Hitler, it is notable that Germany's new chancellor, Angela Merkel, said today:
"With our historical responsibility in mind, I can only say that we reject them (Ahmadinejad's comments) in the harshest possible terms."
History? The sad fact of the matter is that Ahmadinejad probably is actually as ignorant as he sounds, despite the fact that his rhetoric is based in the Iranian mullahcracy's anti-Semitism. Need I point out how easily accessible information is about Jewish roots in Israel? Even the open-source Wikipedia, which has been prone to politically correct sanitization, states:
In compiling the history of ancient Israel and Judah, there are many available sources, including the Jewish Tanakh (the Old Testament) and other Jewish texts such as the Talmud, the Ethiopian book of history known as the Kebra Nagast, the writings of historians such as Nicolaus of Damascus, Artapanas, Philo of Alexandria and Josephus, other writings, and archaeological evidence including Egyptian, Moabite, Assyrian and Babylonian inscriptions.
It is especially painful for those of us who have spent time in Israel to hear this steady stream of delegitimization of Jewish history. How many of the Holy Land's ancient archaeological sites scream with Jewish history, e.g., Hebrew inscriptions on weathered stone. Tel Megido? The Wailing Wall? The Cave of Machpelah (Tomb of the Patriarchs)?
Oh, the pain of all this. And Iran still holds a seat at the United Nations.

"Ahmadinejad: Holocaust Denier; Says Jews Should Move to Europe"
Jews should move their bombs to Iran.
Airmail.
Hypothetically speaking (since Israel will not confirm or deny it), Israeli's nukes probably cover every major Iranian city. And you know who's got the better technology.
"he urged that Israel be "wiped off the map." Today, he:
...expressed doubt that the Holocaust occurred"
So in effect he's saying that Hitler didn't do it but he would?
The Iranian president is asking for a JDAM enema.
What is it about these moron Mooslems? They are on the brink of extinction and they keep goading...
Somebody ought to send this guy a Hamantash and a children's book about the story of Purim, since it involved both Iranians (then known as Persians) and Jews (living in Palestine) a few thousand years ago.
Iran certainly suported and supports terror against Israel, and USA.
Iran's is now emerging as something equivalent to that of Germany's in the 1930's.
I think Ah'mmadinthehead ought to move to Tasmania
(where the other devils are).
No doubt about it.
They'd run out of Iranians before they ran out of Israelis!
Shave the beard, dye the hair a little, and he looks a lot like Howllllard Dean
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should move to Hell ahead of schedule.
