Senior Iranian Official: “When Islamic World Unites, Israel Will Be Eliminated”
At a convention of appreciation in memory of the martyrs, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, “Throughout history, no one has witnessed crimes like those that the Zionist regime is committing against the Palestinians... We must be patient and must stand on our principles, so that with God’s help this puppet regime will collapse.”
In a speech to Basij activists, Ahmadinejad praised the “culture of martyrdom” and called for instilling it in the younger generation. He said, “The fall and end of the domination regime [i.e. the U.S.] is nigh.”
Yahya Ja’fari, representative of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the city of Karman, told the official news agency IRNA in an interview: “When the Islamic world unites, Israel will be eliminated.”

U.S. envoy: ‘Ethnic cleansing’ in Kenya

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia - U.S. envoy Jendayi Frazer said Wednesday the violence in Kenya’s Rift Valley was “clear ethnic cleansing,” aimed at chasing out President Mwai Kibaki’s Kikuyu people.
Frazer said she did not consider the eruption of ethnic clashes in Kenya a genocide.
The violence she saw during a visit earlier this month to the country’s western region, where the fighting has pitted Kalenjin people against Kikuyu, “was clear ethnic cleansing,” she told reporters on the sidelines of an African Union summit in Addis Ababa.
“The aim originally was not to kill, it was to cleanse, it was to push them out of the region,” she said.
