Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for Israel to be 'wiped off the map'
"...Addressing a conference in Tehran on Wednesday, entitled "The World Without Zionism", Ahmadinejad said, "To those who doubt, to those who ask is it possible, or those who do not believe, I say accomplishment of a world without America and Israel is both possible and feasible..." http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/GJ28Ak03.html
MIM: Barely a month after the Iranian president was feted at the UN by people who share his agenda, he has openly declared his intent to annilihate Israel. The fact that someone who was given diplomatic protection is using rhetoric identical to that of Al Qaeda, and is leading a Muslim country on the verge of producing nukes, begs the question as to why Amadinejad was even allowed into the United States. Amadinejad's statements should come as no surprise and validate Dr.Daniel Pipe's 2003 prediction which he made in an addendum to an article entitled "The Coming Anti Semitism"
"...I omitted to mention above that the psychological preparation for using nuclear weapons against Israel has already begun. In December 2001, as reported in Iran's English, Farsi and Arabic newspapers, former Iranian president and "Expediency Council" Chairman Ali Akhbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said that
If one day, he said, the world of Islam comes to possess the weapons currently in Israel's possession [meaning nuclear weapons] - on that day this method of global arrogance would come to a dead end. This, he said, is because the use of a nuclear bomb in Israel will leave nothing on the ground, whereas it will only damage the world of Islam..."

Iran´s President Calls for Destruction of Israel and the West Wednesday, October 26, 2005 ------------------------ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/4380306.stm Iran leader's words 'sicken' UKThe UK Foreign Office is to summon a senior Iranian diplomat to protest against his president's comments about destroying Israel. Hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for the Jewish state to be "wiped off the map". The Foreign Office will call in Iran's London chargé d'affaires on Thursday. It said the comments were "deeply disturbing and sickening". The remarks have heightened concerns over Iran's nuclear intentions. 'Horrible reality' At least five people were killed in what police say was a suicide bomb attack in northern Israel on Wednesday. An FO spokesman said this showed "the horrible reality of the violence he [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] is praising". Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom has said Iran is regarded as "a clear and present danger". He said it was clear that Iran was trying to develop a programme to make nuclear weapons. Iran denies this, but insists it has the right to pursue a civilian nuclear programme for peaceful purposes. At least five people died and up to were 30 wounded in the bomb attack near a market place in Hadera, northern Israel. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad group said it carried out the attack in revenge for Israel's killing of its senior leader, Luay Saadi, on Monday. |
