Ahmadinejad: World Forces Must Annihilate Israel

This shouldn't be too surprising; after all he has said this many times before. Still - seeing it in print is always mildly shocking because it is such a sign of our times:

Ahmadinejad: World Forces Must Annihilate Israel

In a speech published on his website Thursday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the ultimate goal of world forces must be the annihilation of Israel.

Speaking to ambassadors from Islamic countries ahead of 'Qods Day' ('Jerusalem Day'), an annual Iranian anti-Zionist event established in 1979 by Ayatollah Khomeini and which falls this year on August 17, Ahmadinejad said that a "horrible Zionist current" had been managing world affairs for "about 400 years

Ahmadinejad added that "liberating Palestine" would solve all the world's problems, although he did not elaborate on exactly how that might work.

“Qods Day is not merely a strategic solution for the Palestinian problem, as it is to be viewed as a key for solving the world problems," he said.

He added: "Anyone who loves freedom and justice must strive for the annihilation of the Zionist regime in order to pave the way for world justice and freedom.”

Ahmadinejad, who has called the Holocaust a myth, has previously called for Israel's annihilation, in a 2005 speech in which he used a Persian phrase that translates literally as "wiped off the page of time."

And this is precisely why Israel may have no option but to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities. Their very existence may depend on such action. If they do take military action, you can bet the MSM will never mention the threats and the rhetoric seen in the article above.

This tipping point is drawing closer and closer by the day.
