Iran calls for Israel to be wiped off the map
Yahoo Iran’s hard-line president called for Israel to be “wiped off the map” and said a new wave of Palestinian attacks will destroy the Jewish state, state-run media reported Wednesday.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also denounced attempts to recognize Israel or normalize relations with it.
“There is no doubt that the new wave (of attacks) in Palestine will wipe off this stigma (Israel) from the face of the Islamic world,” Ahmadinejad told students Wednesday during a Tehran conference called “The World without Zionism.”
“Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation’s fury, (while) any (Islamic leader) who recognizes the Zionist regime means he is acknowledging the surrender and defeat of the Islamic world,” Ahmadinejad said.
Ahmadinejad also repeated the words of the founder of Iran’s Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who called for the destruction of Israel.
“As the imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map,” said Ahmadinejad, who came to power in August and replaced Mohammad Khatami, a reformist who advocated international dialogue and tried to improve Iran’s relations with the West.
This left me speechless!

And yet there are Liberals and Democrats here who want the US to ignore Iran’s efforts to get the atomic bomb. To call them descendants of Neville Chamberlain is weak. These people are dangerous if not psychotic.
Mark my words, we will have to address Iran militarily with in 4 years. Oh, we will get the same, “Where’s the WMD” crap from the left, but they’ll be further marginalized.

1- I would love to know if this hatred for the Jews was as strong in 1935 as it is today? Were the signs right in front of us then as they are now? We will never be able to bring the 2 people together, but we can do everything in our power to stop 1 from trying to annihilate the other.

2, Krystalnacht was one demonstration of such hate. So were Russian “Pogroms” during the same period. The Nazis aren’t the only ones besides Arabs and American Liberals who hate Jews and the state of Israel.

Well, I can’t help but notice that we have never corrected the history books to state that we knew about the treatment of the Jews,gypsies and homosexuals prior to going into WWII. Is it that we can’t admit that we didn’t do enough to help? Is it that those groups were not worthy of us going to war? Or is it that FDR was looking for the opportunity to jump in and Pearl Harbor fell into his lap? Even when we did get in, we allowed the exterminations to continue.
We hear about FDR wanting to stop Hitler, but never because of these groups.
How can we in good consious, allow a leader of one country plan the destruction of another race. I can’t help but think that we did forget!

5- good point. One would think all the hi-jackers came from Aftganistan with the way the left bent over backwards to support the military attacks in that country. But the truth is, that it was a hot bed of various people from all over the Middle East that had gathered in that country. Just as it is in Iraq, but that point seems to go unnoticed.

7, and what of people like shiloh who undermine our war effort because they aren’t in power, not because they think the other side is right. Should we “nuke” them, too?

I support Israel’s right to lob nukes into Tehran in it’s own self defense.

Do you really believe that God will allow something like this to happen to Israel? I know for a fact that this will not happen because everytime people mess with Israel…. Something bad comes out as a result.Just like last time when the people messed with Israel.. God turned it around and turned all the attention to us by the incident of 9/11.
With the high jacking of the Flight United 93 and the crashing of the World Trade Center and the crashing of the Pentagon.And as you all know alot of people died that day and many have never been found to this day.
