Israel: War of Words with Iran Grows
This article, although it deals with a serious subject, contains some comic relief. I mean, what could be funnier than remembering Kofi Annan's "shock" at Iran's pigmy president's desire to destroy Israel? He might as well be "shocked" Hyenas eat rotting meat. Similarly, it is quite funny to remember Jack Straw declaring Ahmadinejad's comments "unacceptable" as if he were willing to do something about it. At any rate, here is today's story: Israel slams 'dangerous' Ahmadinejad
Israel has called Iran's president "very dangerous" after he expressed doubt that the holocaust occurred and suggested the Jewish state be moved to Europe."This was not a mis-statement or a passing remark," Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom told Israel Radio on Friday. "It is a systematic way of thinking which is intended to bring about the annihilation of the state of Israel."
On Thursday Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that if Germany and Austria believed that Jews were massacred during the second world war, a state of Israel should be established on their soil.
Ahmadinejad, who said in October that Israel must be "wiped off the map", was being interviewed on Al-Alam, an Iranian state satellite channel while in Makka, Saudi Arabia, where he was attending a summit of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference.
