How could European invite Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak? You’d think the EU would know, when a head of state talks like this, something must be done and something must be done soon.
Again Ahmadinejad has pandered to his anti-Semitic base, denouncing Israel. Speaking in Rome, on arrival for a UN food agency summit, about his threats to destroy Israel he said:
“I do not believe that my declarations create problems.”
“People like my comments, because people will save themselves from the imposition of the Zionists. European peoples have suffered the greatest damage from Zionists and today the costs of this false regime, be they political or economic costs, are on Europe’s shoulders.”
Neither the Italian government nor the Vatican made themselves available to meet Ahmadinejad.
He and another international pariah, Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe, were also left off the guest list for a ceremonial summit dinner Monday.
Ahmadinejad also accused unnamed “powers” of profiteering from high food prices through subsidies and market manipulations.
Yesterday, Iran’s IRNA news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying Israel will disappear from the world map soon. Those comments were delivered at a ceremony honoring the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Jimmy Carter’s friend.
According to IRNA, Ahmadinejad said that “criminal and terrorist Zionist regime” with a track record of “60 years of plundering, aggression and crimes … has reached the end … and will soon disappear from the geographical” charts.
