Jews everywhere can rejoice; they're not the poor persecuted minority bitches of Europe after all! As a matter of fact, Europeans are PRO-Semitic, and went out of their way to establish a mass hysteria about an epic massacre that never occurred, just to help out their poor, scattered, disenfranchised buddies, the Jews.
Garbage. And somehow, I think that the Iranian leadership knows this. I just can't bring myself to believe that a world leader could be so uneducated (or stupid) as to actually believe this. Then again.
But let's just assume that Mr. Ahmadinejad knows what he's doing and the political implications thereof. If such is the case, then this is a (rather crude) dig at the legitimacy of Israel to exist as a nation. As Iran is not an Arab nation, they can't really do the "Arab Unity" thing concerning the Palestinian issues, so it looks like they found some other way to try to justify their opposition; namely that the basic motivation for the establishment of Israel was a lie and so therefore Israel should not exist.
Of course, everyone knows that the Iranian government feels this way, so why broadcast it now? Well, President Ahmadinejad seems to be kind of a bellicose bastard, for one thing. For another, Iran may be gearing up for eventual armed conflict with Israel and trying to align themselves with the Arab states, historically rivals to Iran, to strengthen their geo-political position should the fight come. Or maybe more specifically, to the Arab states' publics, since the governments have largely resigned themselves to the permanent existence of Israel.
Let's see how the UN (doesn't) react to this latest jab.
