Ahmadinejad's Words

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

"Israel must be wiped off the map …

A key lesson the world must learn from Hitler...when a man such as Hitler speaks...listen very carefully. Adhmadinejad is such a man. Listen to his words...and be warned.

On His Dream to Destroy Israel

• "With God's help, the countdown button for the destruction of the Zionist regime has been pushed by the hands of the children of Lebanon and Palestine . . . By God's will, we will witness the destruction of this regime in the near future."
  
• "It is quite clear that a bunch of Zionist racists are the problem the modern world is facing today. They have access to global power and media centers and seek to use this access to keep the world in a state of hardship, poverty and grudge and strengthen their rule.
  
• "Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury."
  
• "Remove Israel before it is too late and save yourself from the fury of regional nations."
  
• "The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of a war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land. As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map."
  
• "If the West does not support Israel, this regime will be toppled. As it has lost its raison d' tre, Israel will be annihilated."
  
• "Thanks to people's wishes and God's will the trend for the existence of the Zionist regime is downwards and this is what God has promised and what all nations want…Just as the Soviet Union was wiped out and today does not exist, so will the Zionist regime soon be wiped out"
  
• "Israel is destined for destruction and will soon disappear....a contradiction to nature, we foresee its rapid disappearance and destruction."
  
• "Israel is a tyrannical regime that will one day will be destroyed."
  
• "Israel is a rotten, dried tree that will be annihilated in one storm."
  
• A new Middle East will prevail without the existence of Israel."
  
• "The Zionist regime is counterfeit and illegitimate and cannot survive"

About the Holocaust

• "The West claims that more than six million Jews were killed in World War II and to compensate for that they established and support Israel. If it is true that the Jews were killed in Europe, why should Israel be established in the East, in Palestine?"
  
• "We ask the West to remove what they created sixty years ago and if they do not listen to our recommendations, then the Palestinian nation and other nations will eventually do this for them."
  
• "They have invented a myth that Jews were massacred and place this above God, religions and the prophets."
  
• "We say that if the Holocaust happened, then the Europeans must accept the consequences and the price should not be paid by Palestine.  If it did not happen, then the Jews must return to where they came from."
  
• "If you have burned the Jews, why don't you give a piece of Europe, the United States, Canada or Alaska to Israel. Our question is, if you have committed this huge crime, why should the innocent nation of Palestine pay for this crime?"
  
• "I think we have sufficiently talked about this matter and these Holocaust events need to be further investigated by independent and impartial parties."
  
• "I believe the German people are prisoners of the Holocaust.  More than 60 million were killed in World War II . . . The question is: Why is it that only the Jews are at the center of attention?"
  
• "If there is serious doubt over the Holocaust, there is no doubt over the catastrophe and holocaust being faced by the Palestinians. Holocaust has been continuing in Palestine over the past 60 years."
  
• "Today, they [Europeans] have created a myth in the name of Holocaust and consider it to be above God, religion and the prophets … This is our proposal: give a part of your own land in Europe, the United States, Canada or Alaska to them [Jews] so that the Jews can establish their country."
  

On Jews/Zionists

• "the most detested people in all humanity"
  
• The Zionists are the true manifestation of Satan"
  
• "Are they human beings?... They (Zionists) are a group of blood-thirsty savages putting all other criminals to shame."
  
• "The Zionists think that they are victims of Hitler, but they act like Hitler and behave worse than Genghis Khan."

On the United States

• "You [the United States], who have used nuclear weapons against innocent people, who have used uranium ordnance in Iraq, should be tried as war criminals in courts."
  
• "They [the United States] think they are the absolute rulers of the world."
