Magog Speaks

Ahmadinejad is spouting more threats:

"Like it or not, the Zionist regime is heading toward annihilation," Ahmadinejad said at the opening of a conference in support of the Palestinians. "The Zionist regime is a rotten, dried tree that will be eliminated by one storm."

Ahmadinejad provoked a world outcry in October when he said Israel should be "wiped off the map."

On Friday, he repeated his previous line on the Holocaust, saying: "If such a disaster is true, why should the people of this region pay the price? Why does the Palestinian nation have to be suppressed and have its land occupied?"

The land of Palestine, he said, referring to the British mandated territory that includes all of Israel, Gaza and the West Bank, "will be freed soon."

He did not say how this would be achieved, but insisted to the audience of at least 900 people: "Believe that Palestine will be freed soon."

Of course, who will want it if it's radioactive?

Ahmadinejad and his fellow Israel baiters don't give a straw for the Palestinians. They just use the Jews as a bete noir for their demagoguery, to distract people from their own failure to deliver freedom and prosperity.

He went on to say "The existence of this [Israeli] regime is a permanent threat" to the Middle East, "Its existence has harmed the dignity of Islamic nations." The DIGNITY of Islamic Nations? The dictionary definition of dignity is "being worthy of esteem or respect, inherent nobility and worth," or "poise and self-respect." How can you esteem or respect people who murder women, send children into battle, and finance and plan suicide bombers?
