Anyone who has ever done it, must know how difficult it is to move a house. Its an arduous an expensive process, which isn’t always successful. Now imagine moving an entire country of over 7 million people. That’s exactly what Iranian strongman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, proposed yesterday in a speech in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The Iranian President, who has already stated that he would very much like to see Israel “wiped off the map” noted that he doubted the validity of the Holocaust. Ahmadinejad said: "Some European countries insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces and they insist on it to the extent that if anyone proves something contrary to that they condemn that person and throw them in jail…Although we don't accept this claim, if we suppose it is true, our question for the Europeans is: is the killing of innocent Jewish people by Hitler the reason for their support to the occupiers of Jerusalem?"

The president went on to argue that if the Holocaust did occur as Europeans “claim,” then they should cede some of their territory for the creation of a Jewish state, he specifically volunteered Germany or Austria. The Iranian painted Israelis as outsiders having no reason to reside in the former Palestine and therefore Israel should be moved. Regardless of the fact that Israel is the historical home of Jews. Apparently the schools in Iran aren’t quite up to snuff if Ahmadinejad is convinced that Jews and Israelis have no place in the region. Exactly, where does he suppose Judaism originated. Exactly where did historical figures like King David rule?

There has been a sizeable and continuous Jewish presence in present day Israel for thousands of years, long before there was even an Islam. Perhaps Ahmadinejad would be willing to cede territories in the Mid-East and Asia that were conquered by Muslims during their expansionistic period, which they now seek to revive. Iran, as a matter of state policy has declared its intention to destroy the state of Israel, at the same time the renegade Islamic Republic, continues to support terrorism on a global scale. Now the country is seeking the development of an indigenous nuclear weapons program a prospect, which poses great danger for the civilized world, of which Iran clearly wants no part.
