Ahmadinejad: Arab world will usher in new Mideast without Zionists

the Balfour declaration in 1918... gave the UN the right? No. The Balfour declaration was conceptualized and signed by the British well before they realized how it would affect the Palestinians at the time. It was not until "1947 in the face of a looming post-holocaust jewish rebellion" (Pappe,Ilan) and in the absence of a solution that the British decided it would be easier to transfer the problem to an unqualified UNSCOP, none of whose members had any experience in dealing with conflict resolution. "Arabs only lived in a few cities..." ? That's wrong, there were approximately 1200 palestinian villages that doted the countryside for hundreds of years before this all took place. Yes there were Jewish, Christians, and Arabs but it was the concerted effort of the European jews, not those living in Palestine, to ethnically cleanse the state of Arabs, to create a state of their own for they had none.

When president Assad of Syria using his cunning and tactful ways deceives many nations with the evil things whispered in his ear by the head opposer, many will die; probably hundreds of thousands to millions. Obviously he wants the Golan Heights for the water rights and one only has to look at what else is there. The large mounds where the giants are buried. The Rephaim, the mixed seed, of the sons of god with the daughters of men; from the fallen ones. They shall return to earth and the head opposer is the one who directs the ways of president Assad, whose family name used to be Wahash. When the head opposer along with his other fallen ones are evicted from the heavenlies by Michael onto the earth, men shall die from fear at what they see. In the near future Damascus will cease to exist as a city, never to be inhabited again. Assad will then go to Jerusalem. The Golan Heights are all but negotiated away. Just, look up Assad & Wahash. Why would his father change the family name?

Which Arab world,Sunni,Shiite ,Whabbi,Salafi,Alaw ite?

Sounds fair to me Joaquim.

If you were not aware CJ Hezbollah is a Shiite /Iranian gangster/terrorist organisation based in Beirut that has it.s own militia, members in the Lebanese Parliament that hold the rest of the country hostage ,a seperate militia alongside the Litani river,southern Lebanon,a demarcated demilitarized zone as mandated by the UN SC,but infiltrated by this rogue Iranian funded militia ,that was responsible for the death of Rafik Hariri ,the defacto Sunni President of Lebanon as voted by it,s majority non Shiite population and also this same rogue terrorist gang is equally in control of Syria ,your history lessons are typical Arab/Palestine propaganda that fool no one but yourself,good day.

looks like the Israelis can finally stand on their two feet and take care of themselves. It's time for the U.S. to completely cut ties with Israel, and that includes stopping $3 billion aid. The American people can surly use those extra $3 billion to fix our health care mess.

The Arab world will usher in new Mideast without Ahmadinejad, who's fermenting new genocide, not the Zionists... , History attests to the same kind of murderers/demagogues, and where are they? The went down into infamy. Unlike Ahmadinejad: Zionists never threatened the world with mass- extinction... all they want is to live in peace and be creative and productive.

Another good idea would be an Arab / Islam free ME. Europeans, by reclaiming Iberia after nearly 800 long years of occupation, made Europe Arab / Islam free. Arabs back to Arabia, with their religion of peace.

Why don't the 'westerners' who pretend to understand the 'moderate islamist views' understand that this man intends to destroy Israel nothing else!?

the parnas familly lived in jerusalem since 1624 we can prove it through the tabu land archives of the Ottoman empire.we had our house in the old city of Jerusalem untill we were kicked out by the jordanian soldiers in 1948 from the old city of jerusalem.i have the right to live in israel and my nation has a right to a homeland you might not agree but i will fight for my right of selfdeternination to the death i have no other homelands.and wish no wrong doing upon noone i have my jewish state and intend to bring up my grand children their whether youaprove or not,so until you are ready to come and kick me out be silent you know not what you are talking about

the number are close to correct.but the numbers were there in the last 5 wars israel had with its neighbors.what matters is the comitment the arabs are not commited as they have other dificulties in feeding their famillies and survival.they talk loud but do little.the egyptian soldiers left their shoes behind so they can run better on the sand of Sinai.you are wrong again it is Swissarland who will disappear you will have by law to wear beards and obey sharia laws long before the comitted israelis will disappear.you are a muslen country and don't even know it, good luck in Europe, when the islamic revolution will come upon you like a thunderstorm on a clear day

Pal, it is with pleasure that I reply to you. The UN was then and is now viewed as being legitimate as a governing world body where it concerns legal issues and border/land disputes and determinations. It seems however that you suggest it is not a legitimate body, which in that case, makes me wonder if the goldstone report is then legitimate in your eyes. There is no illegal occupation. It was land won in war, and offered back in return for arab recognition of israels right to exist even inside the so called greenline , which the arabs have consistently rejected. So I believe this land is still LEGALLY in dispute. Settlements are a RESULT of arab armies massed on israels border in 1967 to make war and conquer Israel, which as you know, was a total failure for the arabs. Jordan, which was coerced into the war by Nasser lost, and Egypt under Nasser lost gaza. I am not in favour of settlers having populated this land, however, I am in favour of keeping this land until the arabs accept israels right inside the green line to exist now and forever as a jewish state. It would have been best had this land never been POPULATED. Yigal Alon suggested this option back in approximately 1968 and wrongly was turned down. Walls were built to stop murderous terrorists with suicide vests from entering the country, and it has proven to be a huge success. As for right of return, the original owners may have some rights, which I believe Israel has on record acknowledged, and some will be given reparations payments in a future peace deal, which has been acknowledged as well, but the descendants are NOT entitled to this land. You also have to accept that some of these original owners first of all legally sold their land to jews in the late 19th century and early 20th century, and many of the original owners also voluntarily left their homes under the edict from the mufti, haj amin al husseini, (arafats uncle and a confidant of Hitler) who said, leave now, and you can come back once we have driven the jews into the sea. Well, the arabs lost, the jews did not go into the sea, and the rest is history, as they say. Is that good enough for you Mr. Pal?

You were brought up by hate to Israel but jews got the land of Israel from God and you try to deni that and go against God so just watch What will happen soon with Asad, ahmadjihad and Nasrallah.

No. What irks you is that that tiny part of the ME is not subjected to the abominable archaic sharia law. The civilised Jewish state will have no part of that. Thank heavens

If you are a devout muslim, then I think you should read what the Quran tells you. That Israel belongs to the Jews. Follow what the Quran teaches and there will be peace

//what territories have the Iranians EVER colonized?// "Lebanon and Syria spring to mind CJ " Iran has colonized them? Building illegal settlements? Occupying for 42 years? Illegally annexing? Preventing the entire civilian population of from fleeing a war zone, then attacking the region, like Israel did in Cast Lead? Illegally annexing? "..or did you miss the action whilst your head was stuck in the sand?" What 'colonizing' action would that be? You failed to mention.

wipe Israel off the face of the map" misquote. Misquote???? HOW IS that A MISQUOTE? He said it . Look up the records

To no3. If it was not for Isalm's tolerance and respet for the genuine Jewish religion. Jewes would have not survived untill now. Jewish fate would have been part on ancient history.

No Peter. You arte wrong. One only hjas to read the Hamas charter to confirm what #2 Dino is trying to say. Also Can you explain why the Arabs do not wish to be ruled by the Jews and vice versa. Indeed. It is a relifious issue

You are looking at a bunch of puppets, that satan is using. GOD promised his people the land. The Bible says that 2/3 will be wiped out, only a 1/3 will be saved!!! Every promise in the book GOD will do!!!!! You can count on it!!!!!!!!

You wonder to much mate ,that,s your biggest problem as us Jews are very capable of defending our state ,we don,t sit on our backsides waiting for the sun to rise and then do silly menial things to pass the time,understand,yes?

Any Jew with a Jewish mother at birth has the honour of going up to his/her ancient homeland ,anytime and doesn,t need Mahmoud Abbas or Amr Moussa,s permission ,we aren,t Muslim Dhimnis,right?

The end result,the clever ,audacious ,prosperous,h ighly intelligent Jew drained the festering malaria swamps ,cleared the desert for hightech ag riculture and built magnificent cities ,TelAviv,Ha ifa,Sderot ,Ashod ,Raanana ,Herzliyah ,not forgetting that mighty ancient city of Jerusalem ,while the nomadic camel herders from Arabia sat on their backsides calling on Allah for help ,how revealing when he didn,t appear.

"The UN offered them 50% of the land in 1947. It was called the partition plan. The arab palestinians said no. The jewish palestinians said yes." So why, why, can't we Jewish palestinians now say "Yes" when we have obtained much more than 50%. Why the never-ending, greedy landgrab for more and more via the settlements? All the right-wing posters on these boards never seem to be able to grasp why the world is increasingly unwilling to accept our rationalizing and sees us more and more as embarassing, ugly and unseemly land-grabbers who are always scheming for more, never satisfied with enough. Face it--it's the truth that underlies so much of this and about which so many Israelis in 2010, not 1947--we are a long long way from 1947 historically, spiritually, morally, factually--are in various stages and forms of denial--pick whatever form of denial you want at whatever level of smugness, arrogance or desperation you want: pseudo-Zionistic, nationalistic, religious extremist, etc.

Canaanites Moabites ,Hittites and other tribes long since disappered from history but Israelites Isreal still around ,how enlightening Palestinian.

Not quite as these people couldn,t defend their lands ,unlike Israel which can,sorry for you.

Philistia ,not Palestine ,after the Roman Emperor,s wifes name during the Romann conquest of ancient Israel ,long before Islam arrived on the scene ,camel herders from Arabia belong in their desert ,tending to their camels ,salaam?

It,s the Shiite delusion of grandeur as they only arrived 6oo years or so after their Sunni brothers,making up for lost time.

But Israel has been a successful secular Jewish state for nigh on 62 years Pal ,where have tou been and what have you been doing all this time?

Lebanon and Syria spring to mind CJ or did you miss the action whilst your head was stuck in the sand?

They have more pressing problems to deal with ,sinking leftist/socialist states that can,t pay their bills anymore ,how gratifying .

So i dislike Muslims intensely ,oops sorry a slip of the tongue or i was saying it in Yiddish and the translator got it badly wrong,your logic is stupid.

"cj "The Jewish state has been illegally acquiring other folk`s territories?" You mean like Austrailia?" No. The British colonized Australia before it was illegal to do so. It's one of the reasons there are now laws against the acquisition of territory by war/force. Australia has never illegally acquired anyone's territories, in fact it has been giving territory back to the Aboriginals. I can see what you're getting at though. If Australia gives all the territory back to the Aboriginals, (not even they want that), Israel will withdraw to it's actual Sovereign territories. http://tinyurl.com/yjgh5lj Well Australia has started, when will Israel ? Hop to....

including Arab countries.There never was a Palestine country and you were given one. Pals who accepted citizenship in Israel have the right to return there those that chose to reject citizenship dont Jews have automatic citizenship in Israel,Pals have the same rights in the Islamic republic of Palestine. You can dream of colonising both states but that will keep you right where you are perpetual "victims"-your choice. The settlements came after the refusal of peace by Arabs and the fact that there are no borders were again refusal to accept them,by the Arabs -their choice It was at Arab insistence that the 1948 ceasefir lines were NOT to be recognised as borders. Current refusal to negotiate again by PA-their choice! Some "victims".

HISTORY IN THAT REGION SAIS THAT IT TAKESABOUT ONE THOUSAND ARABS FOR A JEW. AT LEAST THIS HAS BEEN THE ECHANGE RATIO IN THE PAST WARS AND IN ANY EXCHANGE.THEREFORE NUMBERS ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT. THE BOTTOM LINE IS ARABS HATE ARABS AND WHEN NECESSARY JEWS STICK TOGETHER.

First, what right does the UN have to go around dividing and giving away land? That is the first fundamental mistake. Second, i am not against jews living in palestine or Jerusalem or anywhere else however, their is an illigal occupation occuring that is recognized by the entire world except for most Jews. Third, why dont you stop building settlements and walls to show the world you are serious about peace? I am no fan of the any of the failing arab leaders in the ME but if your so "peaceful and you have peaceful intentions, why not show it? Last, and on a sidenote why do Palestinians who were born in Jerusalem have no legal right to return and live there but a european or African Jew can just take the first flight there and have full political and social rights? Answer those questions rationally w/o any bias Superjew.

territories?" You mean like Austrailia?

your words- "So what did the UN decide to give the Palestininans??? It appears nothing.I see Israel on the map but no Palestine". now my words - The UN offered them 50% of the land in 1947. It was called the partition plan. The arab palestinians said no. The jewish palestinians said yes. As you know, the jews declared a state, the arabs told their people to leave and come back when the jews were in the sea. the rest is history, as they say.. By the way, palestina was the name invented and given to the jewish land by the romans. Mohammed was not even yet born.

Looking at the picture of Amadinejad and Assad I couldn't help myself thinking I'm looking at new version of Mutt & Jeff...

There was a definite Palestinian government and self-determination. It was the British that imposed their will, imprisoning and killing thousands of Palestinians who wanted to form their own country against the will of the 'empire'. The same tactics that Israel's government employs today. The Iranians were part of the UN delegation to determine the fate of Palestine, along with Canada, Sweden and Australia. Iran didn't want it divided back then and they still don't.

I am quite impressed by this man. He will not be cowed by any State or combination thereof. His country is one to be contended with, sixty six million plus and completely united in times of war. It also has some three thousand years of civilization, and its people are a very proud people. In contrast, and except for syria, the unoccupied arab States are kowtowing flunkies of the yank and by extension the jew. A disgraceful stature. But probably most noteworthy is that the shi'a State has put together a little alliance that may be capable of inflicting substantial damage on a belligerent State that has done so to others but has never experienced same. From my perspective that capability is for deterrent purposes only. The school yard bully can no longer strike at will without serious consequences.

First the same international body that allowed Israel to be reborn invented Trans Jordan(now Jordan), Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, India and Pakistan to name a few. But only Israel doesn't have a right to exist? in your mind? Palestine was never a country and the Arabs that lived there considered themselves Syrians as is well documented. The Arabs who call themselves Palestinians are a recent invention for the sole purpose of attacking Israel as stated clearly by the PLO leadership. Sadly you have have been raised on propaganda and I know it must be hard to except that all you were taught was wrong and lies told by liars. It takes great strength to accept that your father, mother ,brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends were all wrong. Either out of ignorance or knowingly lying. But Israel has more right to exist than any other country in the region, period!

the Arab street hates Israel and want to finish things of once and for all , but the arab puppet leaders love the dollar to much. to bad that not all Arab states have leaders like Ahmadinejad and Assad

Of course to repeat the usual arab lies and make your incoherent point you forget taht more than half of Israel population is mad of jews expelled from all over the middle east. From Irak to Egypt.

the man said what millions of arabs and muslims say . ME free of zionists killers and criminals .no place for the scum murderes in the region .no matter how long it takes , ME nations will expell and evacuate zionists once and for all . jews are welcome to live in the ME but with no israel .the missiles-circles are sorrounding israel , when the right momement comes israel will be hit hard that it,s destiny will be clear : dismantling the zionist regime and allowing jews to remain in the area within the islamic nation .

Nothing new. This is what the arabs have been shouting since 1948. They tried several times and each time lost more land. Nothing will change if they do not change their delusions.

That's because most of the former area referred to as Palestine is now in Jordan, a large chunk in present-day Syria and part of NW Arabia. Should Jordan and Syria give it up to create a homeland for their arab brethren? Why is it that arabs choose to ignore that fact when the whole Palestinian issue arises? There is a word in arabic that describes why - it's known as al-takia.

Interesting analysis on history here. There is a history of loss by the Jewish people of the land - the Egyptians, the Babylonians and the Romans. It was Darius (Persian) who freed them from Babylon and ordered the temple to be rebuilt - the one the Romans destroyed. Jerusalem was a Canaanite city with a history at least 1000 years prior to the Jews arriving. The Canaanites are the ancestors of the modern Palestinians. Sinful Israel(i government) should be more concerned with its own actions than those of other men? The fear is that history will repeat itself.

I believe I have said this before, but for people like you I'll do it again: I am tired of all this crap about Israel stole Palestinian land. You obviously have no clue what palestine was prior to 1947. It was a region, with no sense of national identity or belonging. It was populated by arab and jew alike; a boat load of jews did not just one day get on a boat and show up. Can you define a palestinian government, structure, culture or national identity that existed before 1947? No, you can't. But after that, as Israel established itself out of a no-mans land basically left over from WW1, arabs became jealous and resentful because their entire culture had not evolved from before the middle ages - my, look what the Israelis were able to create out from the desert! A modern, progressive society and successful country!By the way, the original UN charter establishing Israel attempted to create a Palestinian state as well-but arabs would have none of it.

Ahmadinejad stood in front of a large sign that stated, in English, "A World Without Zionism". This was during one of his "wipe Israel off the map" conferences. Yes, the Iranian president is articulate, and that is why Jews take his threats at face value. There is nothing subtle about having hordes of worshippers shouting "Death to the Jews" at the end of Friday services.

Your commentary and insight is always welcome as it is amusing.

By your reasoning, the US should belong to the Indians and the Mexicans.

I didnt say that Jews do not have a right to live in the ME-I said they are not entitled to the land just becasue the UN or League of Nations decided to give them the land. In case all of you do not know, there is an Illegal occupation going on. If you look on any map, Palestine no longer exist. So what did the UN decide to give the Palestininans??? It appears nothing.I see Israel on the map but no Palestine.

Anyone? May be Israel want's Iranian lands or Iranian oil? Anything?

... expression about the UN, and believe it is an accurate reflection of the Pal position. However, it is wrong. At the end of WW2, the smoke was clearing, everyone in the world was affected, and the time was ripe for some kind of world order to try and keep something like that from happening again. The concept of the UN was the result. The entire world gave the Jews Israel through their action. It is true that the Arabs did not get on board with this action, but Arabs have never understood majority rule, having never produced a workable democracy in all of history. Nevertheless, Israel was created by the highest global authority that mankind has so far created. While you bemoan the UN, look at what it has done for the Pals: The Pals have their own exclusive department that keeps them fed, clothed, educated, and far better off than even oil-producing states. What would you do if Atlanta's people said "This is a Christian country, you can't live here"?

You are 100% right.

The Jews as a people who were victims of persecution for a larger part of not just the twentith century but for over twenty centuries is a simple validation of the Marxist precept of "Historical self determinism". All you have to do, CJ is think of the bigger picture and not see jews, as is your natural inclination, as colonialists, exploiters and imperialists but as fellow workers who have earned the right to a nation state. The middle east does not belong to Suni or Shiites alone.

But the Israelis have a SIGNED DOCUMENT that says the land is theirs. There's only one way to "cancel" a signed document... Wash your hands afterwards.

These people are all from Europe, not from the ME and they are not entitled to any land in the ME. First off Ashkenazi Jews are from Europe... But Sephardic Jews are not... They are from the Middle East... Secondly the UN had every right to give Palestine to the Jews... This was documented in the Belfour declaration in 1918... And also the fact that the ME was owned by the French and English after WWI... Lastly most of the so-called pals were brought in by the return of the Jews in the early 20th century and late 19th century... Before the return of the Jews to Israel, Arabs only lived in a few cities and most of Israel was deserted which was well documented by a Catholic priest who spent most of the second half of the 19th century in Israel... So in fact Jews have every right to live in Israel... Just like you have ever right to live in Atlanta...

He is definately trying shore up allies for the coming war his own comments, on the USA, on ending Israel's existence and continuing his nuclear ambitions are going to cause. Saddam's existense was ended! The Ayatollah system will follow suit!

all the nuclear bombs fall on your country and destroy everybody & thing and poor muslims when the dome of the rock is destroyed by iranians bombing israel - guess the 3rd most important shrine to islam is not that important to Iran and the mad midget when will the arabs countries grow a backbone and stand up to the thug/bully of a country iran at this point i don't care for the people of iran as they don't really do anything - they could stand up to the shah but not to the theocracy

The UN had no right to create Israel out of palestinian/Arab land. No country would allow this simply because a group of people said that their God gave them this land. These people are all from Europe, not from the ME and they are not entitled to any land in the ME.

Meanwhile what territories have the Iranians EVER colonized?

'infidels' "it`s not the jews that are causing the problems" The Jewish state has been illegally acquiring other folk's territories for 62 years. "..but the arabs and their islam (religion of hate)" If someone took your land, you'd probably hate them, be they Jewish, Christian, Muslim or atheist.

the new mideast will be when iran and its ayatollahs are finshed off syria hwezbollah hamas will fall when trhe serpents head of the ayatollahs is cut off..wont be long now andeurope the u.s. will be part of the serpent cleaning,,, isreal will survive but the sharia or fascist arab countries probably wont in their present states isreal will usher in a new mideast without the terrorist muslims and jordan and egypt will be there to with the burial too .. recognize isreal or you will be sent to hell with the other demons isreal has a 2000 year history in the mideast or more and will continue ..and is as much a counry now as any other deny it and you will continue with your justified and just self destruction

Swiss Dino, This is a good sentiment regarding both sides but there is just one problem with your advice to Arabs/Iranians. You write: "Accept Israel's right to exist in the region as a mainly Jewish state" This can never happen, and for very good reason, I think. No one in the region, and especially Palestinians can be asked to accept Israel's "right" to exist. They can only be asked to accept that it does exist, i.e. there are 5 million Israelis who, as human beings, have a right to life. This is a very important distinction that few take the time to understand. Here in the US, no Native American will acknowledge the "right" of European colonialists to do what they did to their ancestors. They have certainly accepted it as a reality, but this is nowhere close to accepting it as a right. This notion bothers white people here because the implication is that someday Native Americans could conspire against them. They'll just have to get comfortable with that.

He has forgotten that he represents an ancient culture that has nothing to do with Arabs. The Arabs invaded Iran, attempted to destroy it and its history but they couldn't. Now traitors like this pathetic person and the Islamic heirarchy in Iran are trying to destroy the Iranian identity.

Jews all over the world celebrate Purim this week. Haman wanted to kill all the Jews but was killed. He came from Iran. Ahmad also comes from Iran. I can see his end in the same manner

more pipedreams from this admin...obama has and continues to mess up the ME. I love his being slapped down IMMEDIATELY after appointing a new ambassador to syria..I mean, how much more bullshit will he take from these monkeys? by the way, when is obama visiting israel to SHOW his support and to give one of his famous eloquent speeches? maybe he could talk about the falsehood of anti semitism, the falsehood of anti zionism, same as martin luther king talked about 40 yrs ago.... come on mr president, will you finally be counted and have your actions match your words?

Is Assad that tall or is Ahmadinejad that short. No wonder why he acts and talks tough. A classic case of short man complex. Similiar to the neighbors annoying little dog with the irratating loud bark. All bark and no bite. Someone should just punt him already.

What an ignorant and arrogant thing to say. Whatever Haaretz has offered in the way of a critique of Zionism and Colonialism comes from Jews who benefit from a Zionist/Colonialist system, however insightful many of the Haaretz editorials are. As for eloquence... you are not even using your head. Ahmadinejad's quotes are clipped from translations are you are in no position to judge his command of Farsi. By every account, he is immaculately articulate and speaks a highly sophisticated language of subtlty that is probably always lost in translation, like with the famous "wipe Israel off the face of the map" misquote.

Jews have always been a minority. The were bashed around, went through the Inquisition,Pogroms and the Final Solution by the Nazis. Yet here they are. Tough and resilient. Pity you have never met a real "Sabra". We fought the Arab World in so many wars. We made peace with Jordan and Egypt. Now we have the all new Iranian Dictator who has also some Final Solution Plan. Obviously, he will use the Arabs as his "martyrs", for they believe in this strange character that claims to have space programs,missiles of unbelievable reach, soon enough this fellow will disappear amongst his own citizenry who are famished and desperate. Jerusalem is a shared city for all mankind, a world heritage of all main religions, not to be divided into some refugee camp. Its also the capital of Israel. Yet shared. Have a nice day, if the weather does not change we will grow bananas here in Valais. Just joking.

In my view, the problem is not Muslim/Jew/Christian, they all are monolithic.Jews and Muslims lived together and still live together in Moroco, Syria , Turkey, few in Lebanon and Yemen. Turkey invited the Jews to safety during the inquisition. In Lebanon 18 different sects live together in relative peace. Let me tell you what the problem is, israel was created 60 years ago by uprooting palestinian christians as well as muslims by force and this is continuing today. So it is Zionism not Judaism where the problem lies.

In his dreams Ahmadinejad creates his new country that will be the start of a new superpower. Wake up and smell the reality this will never happen as an dictator you can only dream but never make this your own population are against you, you are missing the platform for your dreams. // Jan

True Zionism is not colonialism but self determination. It does not wish to rule over or exploit Arabs or take territory that is not historically linked with Jews, but only seeks a well-deserved homeland for a downtrodden and persecuted minority. The only colonialist in the region is Ahmadinajad who views the world through 19 century eyes. The world has grown smaller and movement of peoples are continuous. However all Ahmadinijad sees is a homogenous Arab population for the region. this is a false vision, a mirage. He is the real imperialist and colonialist. His real motive is to extend the rule and power of the ayatollahs not only throughout the region but to create an all powerful Iranian empire .

Is Syria playing Iran off against the US to see who will fill its begging bowl.

So when will the Arabs wake up and realize that Shiite Persia is trying to colonize the Middle East? I cannot wait for the great Sunni/Shiite/Arab/Persian war. Coming to a theater near you.

you are not listening to what arabs and their supporter are saying THEY DON'T WANT PEACE THEY WANT ISRAEL TO DISAPPEAR everything else they say is a ploy in order not to look bad,

Swiss/Dino the reason there's no peace in mideast is islam. as long the arab countries continue following islam, there never will be peace. islam teaches to hate and kill all infidels (christians & jews). it's not the jews that are causing the problems, but the arabs and their islam (religion of hate).

Yes, it's still possible, but only if both sides are willing to accept the necessary compromises: Arabs/Iranians: Accept Israels right to exist in the region as a mainly Jewish state. Israel: Accept compromise on all the 3 core issues of the Arab-Israeli conflict, including the painful one of Jerusalem. Without that willingness, the stronger party will win in the end, and the weak one will disappear.... There are currently around 300 Mio. + Muslims living in the region, and around 5 Mio. Jews....

Everything in President Ahmadinejad's analysis has already been in Haaretz edtorials, but more eloquently.
