POLITICS: 'Israel will be annihilated' says the Iranian President!!!

Iran's president President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated in a speech that "Israel will be annihilated" and reiterated that he doubt that the Holocaust ever happened. Is the Iranian regime attempting to provoke a war with Israel and the west?

---

Iran's bellicose President again is snubbing his nose at the Western Nations with his attempts to belittle Israel a ally of Western Europe and the USA. He is calling for a storm to destroy the nation of Israel and wipe it from the face of the earth. The USA and Briton will not let this occur and have been jointly running war games in preparation for an attack on Iran.

It's insane. The man has to be a mole. I don't see any other plausible explanation. The Iranian people (on a whole) aren't stupid.

"Guerra avisada no mata a soldados"

Translation: A war announced, does not kill soldiers.

In other words, announcing this on a daily basis is BS. And the "warnings" and threats are just that.

When are we to take threats and warnings seriously, after a half a million lives are vaporized in an instant because we chose to treat these threats as BS.

I forgot who said this but thoughts lead to words and then words lead to actions.

dg, the world will never be the Utopia so many people yearn for. I'm sorry.

Oh My! Fits with Iran cuttin' a cheque to "the Palestinian People" for 50 million USD just as 'the west" yanks PA funding. Hmmm.
That theatre-wide military conflict hasn't broken out to this point is beyond my grasp. Unless there is a factor operating at the highest levels which we know nothing about then it appears "no one's blinking" - feels like the Cuban Missile Crisis but with more variables in some ways and less in others. Even the slightest accident or misunderstood gesture could mean the worst.
There is no "good" here and it's deteriorating.

Geeze guys where have you all been???? Hamas has been funded by Iran for years (the gulf states kick in quite a bit as well)

For Iran to step in and fund the government is really not such a large change in direction for them. This funding is at least overt

I dont believe the funding is whats under fire here. It's a matter of war diplomacy and a raging battle of politics between Israel, Iran, and the United Nations. Bearing the ability to enrich uranium Iran is without a doubt on the way to creating weapons of nuclear proportions if they have not already made them. FYI the United States government had given Iran blueprint documents for creation of nuclear weapons in the past, making it awfully evident that they are seeking such a weapon. I feel bad for the civilians of Israel because they are much closer then the U.S. and much weaker than the U.S. as well. If Iran does attack Israel they very much have the upper hand, and the United Nations will more thna likely wait for them to use up some resources before launching its own war against Iran. World War 3 is inevitable, it may not be today, it may not be in 100 years, but it will indeed happen. It is becoming more obvious by the day how easily provoked it can be.

I just do not understand it. North Korea went as far as saying Japan and America would be destroyed with a nuclear fire and holocaust, and that gets swept under the rug and ignored. But Iran says it and we need to go to war. I know the solution, if Iran kicks out the IAEA and removes the monitors like Korea did, in six months we will all have forgotten that Iran was a threat to world peace and that they were on the brink of causing the next world war. But if they acquired nukes like Iran and nothing happens when they take the same route, wouldnt it actually mean america is the one instigating a war?

Oh well, in five years noone will even be talking about Iran, probably Iraq either. Who knows maybe US will go back to the eastern european, central asia, or asian pacific again. Trust me they will not be involved with South America much anymore. I hardly hear anyone discussing Chavez anymore

An so does the doomsday Clock tick closer to midnight.

Right now if i had to guess it's probely 30 secound to midnight.

This is one area we all need to watch very closely

Zintac: Seven minutes to midnight, thank you very much.

Thanks Seekerof, I was just a wild guess, I know it's still officely 7 Min to
midnight. But that was set 4 years ago and things have gone down hill perty fast lately.

Thanks where the 30 secounds to midnight guess come in.

Zintac

No seriously folks, life is going to go no as it always has and in five years you will all be hating some other nation, probably in one of the regions I mentioned earlier, and Iran will be forgotten and pushed aside much like Korea and Venezuela. Even Iraq will be boring to talk about. I will at least take bets on which region we will all be directing our daily hate towards in five years. I honestly believe it will move back to Central, Eastern Europe.

but when did the iranian people have any say over what their government does with the military?

It's odd...

The report in The Times on Saturday, clearly states "Zionism" and not Israel. It'd be really good if these articials would give a video to what he is saying or a transcript. After all, one media outlet has already had to say sorry for mistranslating.

This is My feel , Isreal will never be destroyed ,and I am Catholic .
And most of my friends are JEW'S so there .lol

Maybe you could ask Ahmadinejad to clarify what "Zionism" is, and then ask him how he identifies it, and then ask him how he is able to detect those defined "Zionists" among those Jews in all Israel? See, your play on the word "Zionism" is dubious and seemingly supportive of what Ahmadinejad is saying. Ahmadinejad, and the mullahs, along with Hamas, Syria, Islamic Jihad, etc, etc., etc., have long called for the utter destruction of "Israel," to include "Zionism."

What's new here, Odium? So he interchanges "Zionism" and Israel on a regular basis, your willing to step up to the plate for Ahmadinejad because he may have used the word "Zionism" this time around? What about the other times he has said specifically "Israel," forgotten them times? Ahmadinejad is fooling no one here, but you, in that "Zionism" and Israel are synonymous in his implied and direct meaning.

Hell, I would be willing to bet that everytime Ahmadinejad runs his Hitleristic mouth about Israel or "Zionism" that the Stormfarters, anti-Zionists, among others, are pissing in their pants with glee.

The time will come when the world governments will stop making themselves look bad in the eys of 1 billion muslims (approximately 1/6 the worlds population) and countless other dissenters across the globe for the interests of less than 10 million people ( a fraction of one percent of the muslim population, let alone the Earth). Sooner or later they will pull all aid and support for these people and the unavoidable will happen.

And it wont have anything to do with racism, or Anti-Semitism, bigotry or anything of that matter. It will be simple mathematics for the peace of the planet. It is obviously makes alot of economic sense, as well as social acceptance that the interest of over a billion people are more important than the interests of a mere 10 million. Thats concern for the majority.

Besides you fail to see the fact that there are over 500,000 Iranian troops alone ready to move into Iraq against the mere 150,000+ coalition forces should the US be rediculous enough to use a nuclear attack. You take into account the several hundred thousand more from Syria, and you can kiss all western presence in the middle east region goodbye. Everything will be knocked out of the sky before they can even make it to reinforce their own troops.

This isn't me being anti-American or Anti-semite, it is just pure numbers and mathematics. Mathematics does not lie.

And if the administration does decide to use nuclear forces, the world will look at them and say "OMFG the dumbass americans actually nuked another country without first being attacked (unless Israel has suddenly become the 51st state) You cannot justify a nuclear attack if an attack was not even made on your own land. Conventional forces yes (even that wont really help) but not a nuclear one.

IMO if Iran is in fact serious about attacking Israel, it would be to the benefit of the world to just let them have it. Why risk million of our own citizens lives, as well as risk destroying the global economy and causing massive civlian suffering in even the most advanced nations on earth (Europe, N.A. , Australia, Japan etc, etc).

LET THEM HAVE ISRAEL. It is better to give away 10 million than to fight one billion!!!!!! Strategic fact. We can keep our turkish, central asian , and european bases and ensure global stability if we just let them have this stupid tiny piece of land.

I am really sorry if you are Jewish and extremely offended, but mathematics and global policy implies that your not better than the rest of the world, your fraction of the population is not worth risking the world over.

Well I guess I will have to be watching out for JDL assassins for awhile.

He's a mole. Or Iran already has nuclear weapons and is using the enrichment debate as cover. Why else would he act like this? Maybe he is genuinely crazy- he does claim to see lights and ghosts and that he spoke to the new Islamic Caliph right?
