Ahmadinejad and the Holocaust

Haggai Segal argues that Israel needs to take seriously the threats of Iranian leaders Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khameni to destroy the State of Israel. He argues that Prime Minister Netanyahu's use of Holocaust imagery at the AIPAC conference (for which the Prime Minister was criticized last week by self-absorbed opposition leader Tzipi Livni) was appropriate and should be followed through. This is from the first link.

As usual with Netanyahu, he linked the Iranian issue to the Auschwitz horror, yet this time it was necessary. Holocaust imagery is a despicable thing in domestic arguments between Jews, yet not when we face an external enemy planning a final solution for us.

If in Arafat’s case there was a slight doubt as to whether he hates Jews or only settlers, in Ahmadinejad’s case there is no doubt. Iran’s president openly aspires to collectively annihilate us. He is also vigorously preparing the required nuclear infrastructure to carry out his wishes.

Or as Netanyahu said this week: What looks like a duck, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck – is a duck.

Read the whole thing.
