Ahmadinejad proposes Final Solution to Middle East crisis

Of course, he may not want to exterminate all the Jews in Israel. He would probably be just as happy if they accepted dhimmi status and paid the jizya. "Iranian president: Israel's destruction solution to Mideast crisis," from Ynet News, with thanks to Sr. Soph:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday the solution to the Middle East crisis was to destroy Israel, state-media reported.

In a speech during an emergency meeting of Muslim leaders in Malaysia, Ahmadinejad also called for an immediate ceasefire to end the fighting between Israel and the Iranian-back group Hizbullah.

"Although the main solution is for the elimination of the Zionist regime, at this stage an immediate ceasefire must be implemented," Ahmadinejad said, according to state-run television in a report posted on its Web site.

That must mean that his boys in Hizballah are in trouble. They're hoping a ceasefire will give them a chance to regroup.
