IRAN'S hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad issued a new diatribe against arch foe Israel overnight saying that the Jewish state was "anti-Islamic in nature" and the result of European "ethnic cleansing.
"In fact the Europeans have practiced ethnic cleansing against the Jews in Europe by expelling the Jews from all the European states," the official IRNA news agency quoted Mr Ahmadinejad as saying.
"They have shot two targets with a single bullet, they have built a Jewish camp among the Islamic nations and got rid of the Jews from the whole of Europe.
"The Zionist regime is a part of Europe, which was broken away from Europe, and is anti-Islamic in nature," he said.
The outspoken hardliner suggested that the international outrage sparked by previous comments in which he said that Holocaust denial was "scientific debate" and that Israel should be "wiped off the map" was because he had touched a sensitive nerve.
He asked why Palestinians who played no party in the killing of Jews in World War II should have been forced to make way for a Jewish state.
"Why don't the Europeans who perpetrated the crime pay the price themselves?" he asked.
The president rejected suggestions his comments were anti-Semitic, insisting Iran made a distinction between Judaism and Zionism.
Mr Ahmadinejad, an ultra-conservative who won a shock election victory in June, has caused international outrage with a series of anti-Israeli remarks.
The outspoken president has labelled the Jewish state a "tumour" that should be "wiped off the map" or moved out of the Middle East.
In his latest outburst last month, he said the Holocaust, during which an estimated six million Jews perished, was "invented" and that Israel should be moved as far away as Alaska.
Mr Ahmadinejad's comments have already resulted in two rebukes from the UN Security Council, and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan also put off a planned visit to Iran in October.
I wonder how he explains Moses?
Will he win the Nobell Peace Prize if he keeps talking this way?
Isn't this the guy who was a hostage taker in the 70s? Why are we having diplomatic relations with this criminal?
It sounds cliche', but this guy really does have a death wish. W has been rattling the sabre ever since the "Axis of Evil" speech, and all the Iranian prez has been doing is goading him on.
Madman AhMADinutjob - this Siamian 'president' of fascist iran is telling the world what he wants to do to Israel and now his henchmen are gonna give him the tools he needs to carry out the job.
he has told us folks...we cant use ignoirance when the nightmare takes place.
Never forget, never forgive, NEVER AGAIN.
Deny Moses ever was and quote something from the Satanic Chronicles (Koran).
In a word....
Yes.
"They have shot two targets with a single bullet, they have built a Jewish camp among the Islamic nations and got rid of the Jews from the whole of Europe.
"The Zionist regime is a part of Europe, which was broken away from Europe, and is anti-Islamic in nature," he said.
I hope the Euros will finally get that he is holding THEM
responsible for the "zionist entity" THEY planted in the
breast of ISLAM.
He is in effect declaring them as much an enemy as Israel.
"Mr Dean, please. Yes, I'll hold...*hmmhmmDurkaDurka*. Ah. Howie? Mo-man A here. Yes, fine, allah be praised. Mrs. Dean and the little deaneacs? Good Good.
"As you have seen, I tried the Holocaust is a Myth thing and really couldn't get the reaction I wanted. What do I do now?
Oh. Wait, let me write this down ... 'play the europe is anti-semetic and anti islam card.' Can you spell 'semetic?' J-E-W. Got it!
"What's that? Be emphatic -- right!
OK Howie. Take care and I'll be in touch. Allah akbar and, well you know the rest."
Looks like Howard Dean has a compadre!
The Iranian president belongs to a wierd sect that believes it shold spread evil and murder to make a 12th imam come.
On this day in 362 BC, Esther, a Jew, became Queen of Persia.
Stick that in your hookah and smoke it!
I'm very pleased for her!
This guy is nuttier than Mr. Peanut, unfortunately Iran is filled with people just like him.
Time to nuke an Islamic unholy place.
Moses is a father of Islam...he just didn't know it.
Well they claim everything and everyone else.
He's begging to begin a war and he won't IMO wait for Israel of the USA to start it.
Don't you know? Moses is a moslem. Actually, ALL of the Old Testament prophets are MOSLEM! It says so in the Qur'an and in the hadiths.(you can't make this stuff up - it's in there and all the historical proof that says different means nothing to those who believe it).
