TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's supreme leader is predicting the destruction of Israel in one of his harshest comments in years about the Jewish state.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says the timeline for Israel's demise depends on how Muslim nations "approach the issue." He did not elaborate.
The Iranian leader made the remarks on Tuesday during a meeting with the Mauritanian president in Tehran. He posted the comments on his office Web site on Wednesday.
Khamenei has previously called Israel a "cancerous tumor" that must be removed from the map. But his new comments mark the first time in years Khamenei has publicly predicted Israel's downfall.
The remarks also come as Jews mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day the 65th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi-run Auschwitz death camp.

Hmm.. I have a hard time understanding how the holocaust has anything to do with the nation of Israel. The holocaust is a blight upon human history and definately should be remembered lest the same sort of thing happen again, but I just don't see how speaking out against the nation of Israel is disrespectful of the people who suffered at the hands of the Germans.

Hahaha. Speaking out? Calling for the destruction of a nation, and you call it speaking out? Talk about circling the fence.
