“In principle, Israel has a plundering character. Real

peace can only be implemented if no side has

imperialistic desires and only the real owners of Palestine

will rule it, Jews, Moslems or Christians. The recent

events have proven that this regime (Israel) conquered the

territories by a campaign of murders…. A regime based

on force might last a certain period, but it will fail in the

end."

"The Palestinians struggle and the Moslems' support for

them will bring us to good results and will eliminate the

enemy.”

“The Jews [who immigrated to Israel] should expect a

removed from the body of the Islamic World, and then

millions of Jews who moved there will become homeless

again."

“If one day, a very important day, of course, the Islamic

World will also be equipped with the weapons available

to Israel now, the imperialist strategy will reach an

impasse, because the employment of even one atomic

bomb inside Israel will wipe it off the face of the earth,

but [such a bomb] would only do damage to the Islamic

World."

"It is not unreasonable to consider this possibility… the

people who have no choice but to sacrifice themselves

will not be intimidated by the [Israeli] violence. After all,

they have nothing to lose. How can a man lose something

when he believes that by blowing himself up, one

moment he is in the material world and in another

moment he is in a divine heaven, borne by the wings of

God's angels. And when he comes there, he shall sit by

In light of the Palestinian opposition and by the “march

By this method, the Palestinians caused an increase in the

emigration rate from Israel (“the cancerous growth”)

amongst the immigrants, and stopped further immigration

to it.

October 26,

2005 Ahmadinejad

At "The World Without Zionism" conference in Tehran:

"The establishment of the occupying regime of Qods

[Jerusalem] was a major move by the world oppressor

[the United States] against the Islamic world. The

situation has changed in this historical struggle.

Sometimes the Muslims have won and moved forward

and the world oppressor was forced to withdraw."

I need to thank you for choosing this valuable title for the

conference. Many who are disappointed in the struggle

between the Islamic world and the infidels have tried to

spread the blame. They say it is not possible to have a

world without the United States and Zionism. But you

know that this is a possible goal and slogan.

"Our dear Imam said that the occupying regime must

be wiped off the map and this was a very wise

statement.

"We cannot compromise over the issue of Palestine… I

have no doubt that the new wave that has started in

Palestine, and we witness it in the Islamic world too, will

eliminate this disgraceful stain from the Islamic world.

I warn all leaders of the Islamic world that they should be

aware of this trick. Anyone who recognizes this regime

because of the pressure of the World oppressor, or

because of naiveté or selfishness, will be eternally

disgraced and will burn in the fury of the Islamic nations.

by their own people, continue to rule, with the help of

Western imperialism. A world without Zionism, and the

obliteration of Israel from the face of the earth, is not only

the objective of Iran, but of the whole Muslim world."

These goals had been underlined by the country's

revolutionary leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, over two

decades ago. "At the time, many thought they were just

propaganda slogans, but by reiterating them now,

president Ahmadinejad has reminded us that they involve

to create the state of Israel in the middle of the Islamic

pretext of the Holocaust, while also getting rid of the

Jews from Europe."

"The third hypothesis relates to the traditional animosity

between Christians and Jews. 'The U.S. and Britain, with

the cooperation of France, Russia and Germany, and

because of their Christian leanings and animosity

towards the Jews, initiated the idea of the Holocaust after

the Second World War in order to scare off the Jews and

send them to what is now Israel in order to get rid of

them in Europe and America."

He further said that the movement that created Israel is in

fact against the Jews.

"The fourth theory relates to covering up the crimes of

the U.S. and Britain. Ramin claimed that Britain killed

some 100 million Red Indians in the last 300 years, and

the U.S. leveled Hiroshima - which, he said, were the

real Holocausts."

"Ramin added that the aim of the Holocaust conspiracy

was to facilitate the establishment of the state of Israel,

which would, in turn, provoke the Muslims to rise up,

confront the Jews and massacre them. This [conspiracy],'

he said, 'conducted by Europe and America, would lead

to the total annihilation of global Jewry."

Ramin added that 'as a religious Muslim, who believes in

the equality of all nations, he must alert [people] to the

fact that the state of Israel was established as the result of

a conspiracy against the Jews...'"

The establishment of a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone in

the Middle East has been the long-standing goal of the

people of the region. Iran, first initiated the idea of the

establishment of a nuclear-weapon-tree zone, as an

important disarmament measure in the Middle East in

1974.

The Zionist Regime remains the only obstacle for the

establishment of such a zone in region. Peace and

stability could not be achieved in the Middle East while a

massive nuclear arsenal continues to threaten the region

and beyond. It is a matter of regret that while no practical

measure is taken to contain such threat as the real source

Sobh-e Sadeq

paper

In an article titled "The Holocaust – The Big Lie," the

Iranian weekly Sobh-e Sadeq states that the separation of

Jews from German society during the 1930s emanated

from the confluence of the interests of the Nazis and of

the interests and nationalist aspirations of the Zionist

movement.

The article stated that the Germans wanted to be rid of

the Jews because of their prominence in gambling, drug

smuggling, vice, and exploitation of their economic

power.

"...on the other hand, they gather a number of Jews from

different parts of the world through false propaganda and

with the promise of providing them with welfare, jobs

exposing them to the harshest restrictions, psychological

pressures and constant threats.

"They prevent these people from returning to their

homelands and by coercion and propaganda induce them

to malevolence toward the indigenous Palestinian

people."

"The era of darkness will end. Prisoners will return

The Zionist regime's 60th occupation celebrations - futile

efforts to revive a corpse.

The fake regime [Israel] is despised by the nations of the

region and that the people of the region won't miss an

opportunity to uproot it.

The Zionists have caused harm to all nations, and

European nations were no exception, adding, "Many

European countries lack political independence today."

based on lies. There was no regime like this in our

region. The people of this regime are brought to this

region. And the people of this region have been exported

out of there. This is a great cruelty. If in Europe some

wrong has been done against the Jews it does not mean

that Muslim Palestinians or Christians should be made to

pay. This was exploitation, a way of putting pressure on

the people of this region. Since this regime came here, it

is killing, murdering people. Look at it, there are daily

bombings, arrests, massacres, or blockades. There are

wars. This regime made three wars against its neighbors.

It continuously attacks Palestinian people with tanks,

bombs and helicopters. These people [the Israelis] don’t

belong to this region. They must go! But what we offer is

a humane solution. Our solution is a referendum. We say,

let the Palestinian people make its choices."

"Naturally the murders of this regime are being added on

the accounts of the [Western] nations. Therefore these

nations must separate their accounts from this [Zionist]

regime. There is nothing they will gain, nothing to

benefit from this regime. It’s all losses. As in the case of

an old car, the expenses are larger than its worth. Like an

old car that stopped; all you spend on it is a waste. This

is loss for everyone."

"But everyone knows that the Zionist regime cannot

measure up to Iran. They cannot challenge Iran even in

their wildest imagination. Everyone knows and they

know. They don’t even have it in their program. That is,

they may have such thoughts in their makeup, in their

wishes, but they will carry away these wishes [when they

go]. They are tiny. They say it themselves. As you also

know, the Zionist regime is breaking apart. They live

only if they attack."

The Ottomans had acted as a barrier to the [Zionist] wave

and when it collapsed and the Turkish Republic was

founded attacks against the region began.

Accused Israel for being the core of the problems in the

region and said that it was not possible to get involved

with other problems in the Middle East as long as this

problem is not solved. He blamed Israel for all three wars

in the past 60 years and for acting as a “station’ for big

powers, helping these big powers advance their interests

in the region.

The time was up for the Zionist regime. Many world

nations did not want this state anymore.

Writers in the West accept that supporting the Holocaust

is tantamount to backing the identity of the Zionists…

The Zionists who administer affairs are not numerous but

have adopted a very complicated method in the world.

Zionists are the most isolated group in the world but

through media propaganda they try to indicate that it is

others that are isolated.

The Zionists had lost their reason for existence because

"Our call over the past four years has been if the

Holocaust claimed by the Zionist regime and its allies is

true, why they (Zionists and westerners) do not allow any

research on it?"

Research on everything is free, but the Holocaust is the

key to a sealed fact and black box.

"We do believe that if war is waged in Iraq and

Afghanistan, it is because of Zionists' provocation. If

Sudan is suppressed it is because of Zionists'

temptations. Zionists are behind all the conspiracies of

the arrogance and colonialism. They do not allow the

main factor of excuses for Palestine occupation be

examined and surveyed."

"The pretext for establishing the Zionist regime is a lie -

a lie which relies on an unreliable claim, a mythical

claim, and the occupation of Palestine has nothing to do

with the Holocaust."

since Hamas keeps Israel engaged and thus prevents it

from attacking Iran.
