Iran: Hardline newspaper calls for new front against Israel

TEHRAN, Nov 28 (AFP) - A hardline Iranian newspaper called Thursday for a new front to be opened against Israel so that "Zionists" no longer feel safe anywhere in the world, just hours after twin attacks on Israeli targets in Kenya.

"After the lightning success of the Intifada against the Zionists, more and more Muslim revolutionaries have reached the conclusion that we should open a front outside occupied Palestine that targets the security of the Zionists and their protectors," the Kayhan newspaper said in an editorial.

"They should all be killed and expelled from the areas where they have expelled you," wrote the afternoon paper's editor Hossein Shariatmadari, after he noted the breaking news of the twin attacks in Kenya.

Shariatmadari is well known for his hardline views.

Iran does not recognise the existence of the state of Israel.

How will these radical arab states react when Israel pushed to the limit --say by a biological or chemical weapon attack by Saddam -- decides to nuke Bagdad? Will the mullahs and madmen in Teran (or for that matter Damascus, Cairo or Riyhad) seriously wish to have their capitals turned into nuclear glass and rubble by having all out war with Israel? Would Mecca and Medina also become nuclear targets?

Maybe the ultimate resolution of the Middle East problem will have to be a grudging recognition that Israel isn't going to go away and will use whatever it takes to continue its existence.

It is time that all Nations such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Iran quit agigitating the destruction of Israel!

They are the one who is financing the P.A. on the attacks and fomenting the hype.
