Obsessive anti-Semitism
Globe Editorials ^ | December 18, 2005 | Jeff Jacoby

Posted on 12/18/2005 8:14:41 AM PST by SJackson

ONCE AGAIN, the president of Iran repeated his foul lie.

On Wednesday, in a speech broadcast live on Iranian state television, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a crowd of thousands that the Nazi destruction of European Jewry never happened. ''They have created a myth with the name of 'Holocaust' and consider it to be above God, religion, and the prophets," he said. It was the second time in a week that Ahmadinejad had dismissed the most infamous genocide of the 20th century as a fairy tale. ''Some European countries insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces," he snorted in Mecca on Dec. 8, when he addressed an international summit of nearly 50 Muslim heads of state. ''We don't accept this claim."

Even if there were a Holocaust, Ahmadinejad demanded, why should Muslims be stuck living next to a Jewish state?

''If European countries claim that they have killed Jews in World War II," he demanded, ''why don't they provide the Zionist regime with a piece of Europe? Germany and Austria can provide . . . two or three provinces for this regime to establish itself, and the issue will be resolved. You offer part of Europe, and we will support it." Or, he said, the Jews could be dispatched to the United States, Canada, ''or Alaska."

But whether Europe and North America take his advice or not, Ahmadinejad's bottom line doesn't change. As he put it in October, Israel must be ''wiped off the map." And, vowed the president of the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism, ''a new wave in Palestine will soon wipe off this disgraceful blot from the face of the Islamic world."

Obsessive anti-Semitism

It is a consuming obsession. I'm reminded of Joe Sobran's self-characterization as a Jew obsessive.

Dictators who talk about wiping nations from the face of the earth generally mean what they say. We should know by now that it isn't only Jews who are endangered by the mullahs and their threats. All of us are. And time is wasting.

This visceral hatred of Jews, as Jacoby points out, is prevalent throughout the Mideast. It bubbles up from the bottom and is "preached" from the top. Over several generations and many years it has become the norm.

The first Palestinian I ever met (in the '60s) proudly told me that he would die happy if he could kill a Jew (preferably an Israeli, I assume).

How can such hatred be turned around is the question. Except for the remote chance of political reform leading to a reform of Islam, I don't see any answer.

You can't stop their hatred, it's an incurable disease.

The only hope for humanity is to eradicate it. Or it this case, eliminate the host carriers.

"What is best in life?" To crush the jihadists, to drive their minions before you, and to hear the lamentations of the mullahs! Allahu fubar!

Nah, why waste a good pigskin! Tie him down on the ground, pour honey all over him, and then spread fire ants on top!

Yeah, but the pigskin would add insult to injury by not allowing him to reach Allahu fubar.

OK, wrap the pigskin after pouring on the honey and turning loose the fireants! :)

I wish to remind everyone that the current islamic regime in Iran was brought to power with the support of the International Left. In fact, one could make the argument that it is a Communist state with theocratic trappings made necessary by the culture.

Ironically, this slimeball is right about one thing: the Holocaust has become the new fundamental creation myth not only of non-Orthodox Jews but of western civilization (which is why it is a crime to deny it, a position quite correctly known as "heresy"). I shall have more to say on this later in a vanity rant I'm planning to get some stuff off my chest.

Shouldn't the relatives of the other 5 million victims be ticked off at Ahmadnejad?

That's an issue Holocaust deniers never address.
