As in it's a wonder that the President of Iran, after all he suffered in world condemnation last month, apparently is such a bloody dolt he can't learn to keep his mouth shut about Israel:
{...}Speaking on a visit to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, he attacked Europe for prosecuting doubters of the mass killings of Jews by the Nazis during the second world war. Mr Ahmadi-Nejad's comments follow widespread international outcry after he called in October for Israel to be "wiped from the map"."Some European countries insist on saying Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces ... to the extent that if anyone proves something to the contrary, they ... throw him in jail," Mr Ahmadi-Nejad told a news conference. "Although we don't accept this claim, if we suppose it is true, our question for the Europeans is this: is the killing of innocent Jewish people by Hitler the reason for their support for the occupiers of Jerusalem?"
Mr Ahmadi-Nejad said Europe had supported the creation of Israel in 1947-8, when thousands of Palestinians were uprooted, as a reaction to the Nazis' killing of Jews. "If the Europeans are honest, they should give some of their provinces - like in Germany, Austria or other countries - to the Zionists... [for] a state," he said.{...}
There are times when I wonder if the Iranians voted him in as president just because they knew he'd piss off all the right people and they'd be liberated that much more quickly.
