Columbia's Latest Guest Speaker Reiterates Call For Israel's Destruction
Captain's Quarters ^ | October 06, 2007 | Ed Morrissey

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad celebrated Al-Quds Day today by calling Israel's existence an "insult to human dignity". Backed by chants of "Death To America!", the Iranian president and recent guest of Columbia University challenged Europe to give land to the Jews and to oppose Israel and the United States:

Millions of Iranians attended nationwide rallies Friday in support of the Palestinians, while the country's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Israel's continued existence was an "insult to human dignity."

"The creation, continued existence and unlimited (Western) support for this regime is an insult to human dignity," Ahmadinejad said. "The occupation of Palestine is not limited to one land. The Zionist issue is now a global issue." ...

The Iranian president once again said Palestinians should not pay any price because Europeans committed crimes against Jews in World War II. He said they could give a part of their own land in Europe or Alaska so that the Jews can establish their country.

"I ask European governments supporting Zionists and the American people that will you allow occupation of part of your land under a pretext and then talk about a two-state solution?," Ahmadinejad said after the rallies.

Alaska? Maybe Ahmadinejad flunked geography and history at Teheran U. Columbia could have given him a refresher course. I don't recall a millenia-long tradition of Jews in Alaska, but maybe Ahmadinejad can speak on that history when he comes to Columbia for his next speech.

The celebration of Al-Quds Day is a tradition in Iran since the revolution. It rallies people in the cause of Israel's destruction, in a manner reminiscent of the Nuremberg rallies of the 1930s. In fact, both celebrations aimed at destroying the same kind of people. What an odd coincidence, that! Today, as always, Iranian mobs burned Israeli and American flags in an effort to show what a rational and civilized culture does when they have a holiday that wishes for genocide.

Naturally, this pleases the mullahcracy no end. Their judicial chief, Ayatollah Mahould Hashemi Shahroudi, called the Al-Quds celebration "a good start to the destruction of the Zionist regime." The Speaker of the Iranian parliament swore that there would be no peace between Iran and the West until a "referendum" on Israel was held among the Palestinians. One imagines that this "referendum" might be a teech one-sided, but that wouldn't bother the Iranian mullahcracy one bit.

Of course, that's how they celebrate Al-Quds Day in Iran. I wonder how they celebrate it at Columbia?

Exactly. They want to eliminate America too and we had nothing better to do than to give Iran's would be Hitler a platform at Columbia University.

Mahmoud: “Why don’t you people go back where you came from?”
Israel: “...We did.”

How do you pronounce that? “All Cruds Day” (Phonetic, of course)

If Ahmadinejad wants to talk about “an insult to human dignity,” he need only look in a mirror at himself and his regime.

Der Fuhrer’s corpse is propped up and his perpetually putrefying lips made to move through a wannabe ventriloquist in the Middle East.

How do you pronounce that?

"Al Kudds Day"

That's my best guess...I never studied Arabic. "All Cruds Day" is more appropriate though.

Why do they hate the Jews? Why? These people live on a tiny bit of land with no oil or resources other than what they have scratched out of the desert. They are not the oppressors.

The Palestinians have lived in squaller for sixty years and done nothing to progress their people or culture, even with billions in foreign aid.

The only explanation that seems to make sense is that the hatred of the Jews is a diabolical, spiritual attack of Satanic forces.
