Turning our attention to the Middle East, hard-line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told senior leaders of a radical Palestinian group in Damascus on Friday that the Middle East conflict has become “the locus of the final war” between Muslims and the West, Iran’s official news agency, IRNA, reported. Ahmadinejad, who was speaking on the second day of his two-day trip to Syria, told the leaders of Hamas, “Today, victory in Palestine has become a matter of life and death for the Islamic world and for Global Arrogance [the West]”. The Iranian president urged the Palestinians to reject moves such as Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza. “Some point to the withdrawal of the occupiers from parts of Palestine, but this event has already been greatly detrimental to Muslims,” Ahmadinejad said. “If the occupiers stay on even one inch of Palestinian soil, the goal of Palestine will not be realized,” Ahmadinejad told Hamas leaders, who included Khalid Mash’al, the head of the group’s political bureau. He continued to say, “We must not let our guard down now for even one moment against the enemies’ plots. Belittling the goal of Palestine is a great plot that the enemies are after.” Ahmadinejad has called the Holocaust a “myth” and said that Israel must be “wiped off the map”. The fact that one can get in the mind set to blow himself up for a cause, is interesting enough, but for a leader of a country to do it is Twilight Zone material. In my opinion, this guy is a Jim Jones waiting to happen. |
