Ahmadinejad and Iranians Again Call For Israel's Destruction

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."

Ahmadinejad's remarks came as millions of Iranians held rallies across Iran to protest Israel's continued control of Jerusalem.

The demonstrations for "Al-Quds Day" - Al-Quds is the Arabic name for Jerusalem - also spilled over into anti-American protests because of US support for Israel.

In the capital Teheran, hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets as they chanted "Death to America" and "Death to Israel." Some protesters also burned American and Israeli flags.
Ahmadinejad is fascinated and focused intently on Israel's right to exist. Actually, he seeks its destruction in every way shape or form.

Relocate, remove, and destroy.

That's his mantra, and the Iranians dutifully protest and demonstrate with banners calling for Israel's destruction.

Israel's existence is a threat to human dignity? Sorry, but unless you think that Palestinians who toss fellow Palestinians off rooftops because they're not sufficiently Islamist enough is the mark of human dignity, then pushing the Palestinian agenda and seeking Israel's destruction is not a threat to human dignity.

Israel is the most open and humane government in the region. Human rights are actually protected. Arabs have the right to vote and participate in government. Rival politicians are not arrested and tossed off rooftops or shot dead in gunfights as they were in the Palestinian civil war that continues to simmer just under the surface as Hamas and Fatah continue to jockey for power in Gaza and the West Bank.

Those two terrorist groups are who seek to eliminate Israel. They do not seek a two-state solution. Their use of symbols and statements in the Arab press belie the talking points made by the likes of Fatah's Abbas who say that they would be willing to live side by side with Israel.

Ahmadinejad seeks Israel's destruction and makes no bones about it, despite trying to weasel out of making a direct statement at Columbia University last week. Other Iranian mullahs echo those sentiments:
Ayatollah Mahould Hashemi Shahroudi, Iran's judiciary chief, said Friday's rallies was "a good start for the destruction of the Zionist regime."


The words and deeds of his country and leading clerics, in supporting Hizbullah's efforts to attack Israel, and in seeking to obtain nuclear weapons for use against Israel and Iranian opponents in the region, show that Iran is a menace to the region.

All his chatter about referrendum and demanding that Palestinians be given the right to vote on Israel's future is a smokescreen for his true intentions because he knows full well that the Israelis would never allow the Palestinians to vote on Israel's existence because the Palestinians have already voted - they chose the Islamist Hamas over Fatah that seeks to engage in a war of annihilation against Israel and refuses to even accept a two-state solution. Inflating the number of people considered refugees doesn't help matters.
