Ahmadinejad: Iran Will Continue to Support Hamas
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Friday that his country would continue to support Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas until “the collapse of Israel.”
Iranian news agency Khabar quoted him as saying to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh that he and the Iranian people as a whole consider it their religious and national duty to support Hamas “until the big victory feast which is the collapse of the Zionist regime.”
He added that the group’s violence against Israelis would always be “a source of pride for all Muslims.”
Ahmadinejad has been one of the most vocal anti-Israel leaders in the so-called Moslem world.The remarks quoted above follow years after he announced that it would not be long before Israel would be “wiped off the map”; a translation from Persian some progressive critics say is incorrect, even though most objective experts on the language said it was a reasonable and defendable translation.
His words often go further than merely the destruction of Israel; all too often, the Iranian leader flirts with genocidal talks and thoughts. This to the great concern of Israelis who are afraid that when able to, Iran may ignite a second holocaust. Especially nuclear weapons, Israelis and their allies argue, would enable the Mullahs in Iran to do so.
Hamas and organizations like it, meanwhile, continue to disgrace the entirety of the world’s Moslem population by pretending that their anger and hatred are all an intrinsic part of Islam.
