    Iran's Ahmadinejad: No place for Israel in region

    TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The Iranian president said on Friday there will be no room for Israel in the region after the formation of a Palestinian state, and that once the state is established, the liberation of all Palestinian lands should follow.

    The comments by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reflected his typical anti-Israeli rhetoric, which has drawn international condemnation since he first said in 2005 that Israel should be "wiped off the map."

    Ahmadinejad spoke at a Tehran ceremony following nationwide pro-Palestinian rallies marking Quds Day. Quds is the Arabic word for Jerusalem. The annual demonstration is an occasion for Iranian officials to show off their support for Palestinians and condemn archenemy Israel.

    The remarks come as the Palestinians are pushing this year to achieve recognition at the United Nations during the General Assembly meeting in September. The statehood bid comes amid stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations and although the U.N. vote in New York will be largely symbolic, the Palestinians believe it will send a powerful message to Israel.

    "Do not assume you will be boosted with a (U.N.) recognition of a Palestinian state," Ahmadinejad said, addressing Israel. "There is no room for you in the region."

    "Recognition of a Palestinian state is the first step in the liberation of the entire Palestine," he added.

    Since the 1979 Islamic revolution that brought hardline Islamists to power in Tehran, Iran's leadership has been hostile to Israel, backing anti-Israel groups like the Palestinian Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah.

    Ahmadinejad also urged the West to stop supporting Israel.

    "You (the West) and the Zionist regime will have no base in the Middle East," he warned, and dismissed the West's support for a two-state solution as a tactic meant "to save" Israel.

    Reiterating his anti-Holocaust rhetoric, Ahmadinejad also said Israel was created on lies and added, "the Zionist regime is the axis of unity among all thieves and criminals of the world."

    He also called on rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas to form as strong, unified state and not "consider it sufficient to have minor and weak governments in a small area."

    In 2007, the militant Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip, leaving Fatah only in control of the West Bank.

    Iran faces increased pressure from the West over its controversial nuclear program that Israel, the United States and others contend is intended for nuclear weapons making. Tehran denies the charge, insisting the program is for peaceful purposes only, such as generating power.

    Tens of thousands attended the Quds Day rally in Tehran. State TV said millions of Iranians participated in the rallies in cities and towns across Iran.

      You know for a guy who secretly baths in expensive spa prefumed nightly gets to do about 77 virgins(prostitudes) annually, celebrates with his corrupted high officials on every death sentence carried out, and merrily drinks up drunk nightly while his country rathoms with poor rations claiming it's Israel's fault.. Pity woe thee your days are numbered after Assad falls.

      Kind of funny how Iran's anti-Israeli comments get blasted all over the media but when a person like Debbie Schlussel and Goldstein say something like "A thousand humans are not worth a Jew's fingernail" or "1 down 1.8 billion to go" the comments are never posted. Iran isnt the only country with hate. Israel and the USA has hateful extremists too and possibly more so than Iran does.

      Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
      Ha! So much for Christianity and Judaism being the religions of peace! (See Matthew for how Christ likes the old testament).

        none of the Abrahamic faiths do peace very well do they? judaism, christianity and islam, all riddled with violent little passages in their holy books.

      He became a lot bolder again, since Obama demonstrated to the world, that he is willing to make our oldest ally in the middle-east bending over backwards in favor of the Hamas terrorists, isn't he?

      adimbulbnutjob is just that he is a nut job who needs to go away a long way away or he will get his butt bombed off by Israel and I hope that they do a good job of it when they do

      WARNING!
      To the Norwegian, Egyptian, Swedish, German, Iranian and American security personnel who are having to deal with possible false flag terrorist attacks on their country, a little advice from the United States where we have already been through some of this:

      1. Follow and monitor all Israeli Mossad agents working out of their embassy and consulates
      2. Monitor any young vulnerable Islamic kids who are being approached by Mossad agents with funding or backing to promote extremism
      3. Keep a close eye on any allies of Israelis, people pretending to be Arabic, people who look Arabic, like Arabic Israelis, who are backing extremist groups in your country with as much as three to six degrees of separation behind the scenes. (Think like a champion chess player)
      4. And let the Israeli government know that you will not tolerate any terrorist attacks in your country and that there will be consequences on Israel.
      5. Do like Britain did and expel ALL MOSSAD agents from your Nation and watch the "terror" attacks and threats go way down.
      This is something the U.S. should have done long ago, but because our Congress is controlled by AIPAC, they are impotent to do anything to protect our national security at this time.

      US Under Secretary of State, George Ball's Mideast Views Were Muffled by U.S Zionist Media: Today we can see his wisdom in foreseeing the disastrous collapse of 45 years of US Middle Eastern Relations.

      That is all that readers in the national capital, and most other parts of the United States, learned about his Middle East views on the day after this statesman's death was announced. However, the record demonstrates that George Ball's views are ignored at America's peril, because history inexorably proves him right. Instead of gloating over the suppression of his Middle East views, Israel's American apologists might better recall that George Ball was convinced that the American public, sooner or later, would learn the truth about the disastrous consequences of our country's blind and "passionate attachment" to Israel at the expense of our Power in the Middle East.

      He hoped that when that happens the U.S. will simply change its Mideast policies and move on. He feared, however, that if the change is too long delayed, the consequences for American civic comity, and its Jewish community, could be fearful indeed. In seeking to ameliorate the consequences by speeding the change, he was a far better defender of America's pro-Israel community than its own self-appointed leaders and media apologists, who worked so assiduously to muffle his views.

      It is a lie from Satan that Jews are God's chosen people and many pastors embrace and teach Satan's lie that Christians should support the State of Israel (Zionism). Also, another lie from Satan is the teaching that God blesses those who bless Israel and He curses those who curse them. (That has not been true for more than 1900 years.)

      how can a bunch of EASTERN EUROPEAN SLAVIC JEWS claim a piece of land in the MIDDLE EAST as their own?
    • Rick Wagner  •  9 mths ago
      I see the Zionists are still at it trying to prove only they own Israel. Morons all, people were in the area long before the Jews showed up so both the Arabs and Jews are stealing the land that belongs to somebody else. Why don;t you morons grow up. Trying to claim title after 2000 years is just a travesty, nobody except yourselves will take that seriously. You can buy congress but not forever and when that happens bye bye bye the Zionist homeland.

      We Americans are so naive. We are being played by the China-Israeli alliance. Israel was passing our nuclear secrets to the Chinese CSIS way back in 1961. JFK caught them red-handed and it have been what got him assassinated. When Pollard was caught stealing $2 trillion of nuclear and weapons technology to Israel, they quickly sold it for a good price to China.

      Until we handle this runaway train called Israel, we are wasting our time.
