Iran's Revolutionary Guards on Monday predicted Hezbollah would destroy Israel, in a new verbal onslaught against the Jewish state after the murder of a top commander of Lebanon's Shiite militant group.Appreciate the use of the word "murder"? Try this:
"In the near future, we will witness the destruction of Israel, the aggressor, this cancerous microbe Israel, at the able hands of the soldiers of the community of Hezbollah," the ideological force's commander, Mohammad Ali Jafari, was quoted by the Fars news agency as saying . . .
Ahmadinejad has provoked international outrage by repeatedly predicting that Israel is doomed to disappear. He also courted more controversy by playing down the scale of the Holocaust . . ."Playing down the scale"?
Iran insists its position is in no way anti-Semitic but anti-Zionist, pointing to the continued existence in the country of the largest Jewish community in the Middle East after Israel.After so many Jews fled the country that worldwide Iran now has only the third largest population of Persian Jews. According to Ynetnews, Israel has complained to the UN about the "cancerous microbe" remark. There isn't much novelty there. Ahmadinejad called Israel an "infectious gland" in July of 2006. What is an "infectious gland," anyway?
