Today, the firebrand muslim leader expressed doubt that the holacaust ever happened and if it did, then the blame goes to Germany and Austria, not to arabs. He suggests moving Israel to Europe. That Germany and Austria set aide land for the Jews.
Do not for a minute think that he believes that nonsense. He is, first of all, preaching to the choir. His Iranian brothers already dont like the Israelis for a variety of bogus reasons.
First, Iran is not at all affected by the presence of Israel in the area. Second, Iran believes it is the strongest of Muslim nations in the area and if he can rally the others to its side by playing on their own biases, he does exactly that by spoeaking out against the imagined enemies of the others. Iran's leader forgets it fought the Iraqis to a standstill in a war that lasted about ten years and still couldnt win. And we all know what great fighters Saddams army was even back then. The Iranian army has not fought and won a war in God knows how long. The Israelis fight and win, each time a war is forced upon them.
As far as the Iran lader is concerned, I believe he is trying to whip up enthusiasm for an attack on Israel. He does it by demanding something (a move to Europe) that he knows full well will never happen. He tries to copnvince his own people that the land of Israel is really arab land, illegally invaded by the Israelis which any Junior High student of history knows is bogus.
Bother from a biblical and from a secular historical viewpoint, the land is and always has been Jewish, with npomadic arabs as temporary residents. Any history student knows Isreal and Jordan were both created at the same time out of the same piece of land called Trans-Jordan. It was land that was never part of an internationally recognized nation, complete with constitution, government, culture, native dress, native language, laws, rules and set recognized boundaries.....that is until the United Nations created Israel and Jordon.....Israel for the Jews and Jordon for the arabs.
But now, Iran thinks it can disrupt absolutely everything in the middle east and even in Europe. Arab nations wisely have not attacked the Israelis because they remember the outcomes of past wars. They dont look forward to additional humiliation. Iran is blind to history's lessons.
