“We reject the existence of any Israeli on this earth.” More genocide dreams from our new pals in the Islamic Republic of Iran. “‘Israel should be annihilated,’ senior Iran aide says,” Times of Israel, August 25, 2015:
A senior Iranian official on Tuesday said Israel “should be annihilated,” and that the thawing relations with the West would not translate into a shift in Tehran’s position concerning the Jewish state.
Hussein Sheikholeslam, a foreign affairs adviser to parliament speaker Ali Larijani, told Iranian media that contrary to remarks by British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, “Our positions against the usurper Zionist regime have not changed at all; Israel should be annihilated and this is our ultimate slogan.”
Hammond was in Iran on Monday for the reopening of the UK embassy in Tehran, and said that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani had indicated a “more nuanced approach” to Israel’s existence. Hammond said Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s “revolutionary sloganizing” should be distinguished from “what Iran actually does in the conduct of its foreign policy.”
“We’ve got to, as we do with quite a number of countries, distinguish the internal political consumption rhetoric from the reality of the way they conduct their foreign policy,” the Guardian quoted Hammond saying.
Sheikholeslam told a Hamas news outlet earlier this month that Iran has resisted pressure exerted by the P5+1 world powers during the nuclear negotiations to halt its political involvement in Gaza, Syria and Yemen.
“These powers admitted that the reason for their pressure on us is our position on Israel,” he said. “We told them that we reject the existence of any Israeli on this earth.”

obama? ..are you listening? No, of course not ..he’s too busy pushing the false “islam is a religion of peace” motto.
Azacque says
If he can`t be impeached, can he be deported
Godwin says
Yes, he shu be deported to his “fatherland”, for his father was a shiite of the Iranian kind.
Angemon says
Iranians being Iranians.
Azacque says
I reject the existence of Iran;s Ayatollah and Iran, bring back Persia.

PERSIA was a great and honorable country
under Cyrus II. After they were INVADED
by ‘the religion of peace™’, a cultural genocide
took place under the nazi arabs who swept aside
the peaceful Zoroastrianism and replaced it with
Shaitan’s own creation: the personal CULT of
the caravan raiding/rapist/murderer mo,
who deluded his followers with his chosen idol al-Lat,
who became his alter ego sock-puppet ‘allah’.
Remnants of that once great people
can be seen in their annual Nowrooz Spring festival
of the new year, at the march 21st vernal equinox.
Are there any REAL Persians left,
not the mass of arabized, islamized zombies?
Con you once, shame on islam,
con you twice, shame on you!
abad says
Seriously – if ISL entered Iran and obliterated what’s left of Persepolis, the Tomb of Cyrus the Great, Behistun’s carvings, and a host of other highly significant historical sites in Iran – if the Iranian leaders would change their tune.
It’s something to think about.
Not that Moslems have the ability to think anyways……
EYESOPEN says
I pity the poor soldiers who will have targets on their backs guarding the U.K. embassy in Tehran. “Hell no! We won’t go!” comes to mind.

The Koran in a number of places assigns Israel to the ‘children of Israel’. (Most Muslims apparently do not realize it.)
Koran 5.20 uses the legal word ‘assign’: “O my people (Jews), enter the Holy Land which God has assigned unto you…” The ‘Holy Land’ is ‘assigned’ by Allah.
Koran 5.32 lets it slip that “We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone slew a person – unless it be in retaliation for murder or for spreading mischief IN THE LAND”
What is ‘the land’ where Jews control the legal system? Obviously, ‘the land’ is Israel assigned to Jews by Koran 5.20.
Moreover, Koran 17.104 announces the return of Jews to Israel during the end times: “And thereafter We [Allah] said to the Children of Israel: ‘Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd.”
(The ‘wound’ of Israel to Muslims lies in the inflamed, narcissistic pride of supremacist Islam, rather than something based on Koranic teaching.)
Payingattention says
This guys name is Sheik hole slam???
Is this for real??
Mazo says
In Arabic his name is Shaykh al-Islam.
In Persian it is pronounced as Sheikholeslam – Sheikh ol eslam because Persian vowels are different.
Dave J says
Seriously – Sheik-hole-slam? Plus Hussein, of course. Direct from Central casting.
And is that him in the picture? – a definite loon, look at the eyes.
Psychos who want nuclear weapons, great..
Westman says
–Israel “should be annihilated” — Hussein Sheikholeslam
Please try it right now before the US wiggles out of its treaty obligations. The US would help you eliminate that parasitic cleric class that is turning your country into the “should be annihilated” entity in the minds of Sunnis.
The “revolutionary sloganizing” and, “what Iran actually does in the conduct of its foreign policy” are both isolating Iran. Keep it up.
Huck Folder says
Annihilate for annihilate makes the whole world glow.
Piss on Gandhi too, for the creation of Krapistan.

” Iran has resisted pressure exerted by the P5+1 world powers during the nuclear negotiations to halt its political involvement in Gaza, Syria and Yemen….”
Whoa!!
I smell a rat. Iran is actually supporting the Assad regime in Syria, which is the only entity that has the faintest chance of pushing back the Islamic State. Do we really want Iran to pull back its support of the Assad government…or of the Shi’ite militias in Iraq that are also pushing back on the Islamic State?
The Iranian support of the Yemeni coup is obviously a move against Saudi Arabia, which backs the Yemini government. Again, it is a Sunni-Shi’ite thing with which the US probably ought not get involved. Saudi Arabia is kind of our partner in some defensive moves, and is also the sponsor of extremely effective attempts to infiltrate the US government, educational system, and media.
It’s a vital interest of the US to not have Iran obtain a nuclear capability, but other than that, Iran probably has a role to play in stopping the Islamic State. Why is the US making it a diplomatic priority that Iran stop its aid for the Syrian government?
Graham Ford says
“We’ve got to. . . distinguish the internal political consumption rhetoric from the reality of the way they conduct their foreign policy.”
That reality, Foreign Secretary, is to foment and engage in as many proxy wars as possible in as many countries as possible in order to subjugate all disbelievers and see Islam utterly dominant over every land and every person of the world.
So, it would appear that the British Government’s foreign policy is to remove any and all obstacles to Iran succeeding in their quest. Perhaps we should now plant avenues of trees down the main roads of Britain so that the Armies of Islam can march in the shade. The British Government is supine and perfidious, having sold the birthright of the British for . . .what?
Arthur Brislingham says
Hussein Sheikholeslam should be annihilated… (along with a few other Huseeins).

“Jeremy Corbyn spoke by video at a meeting held earlier this year by a group
fronting for the far-right LaRouche organisation, it has emerged.”
The La Rouche organisation has a most sinister reputation & hatred of Israel
is one of its less controversial characteristics.
Jew hatred is 100% fashionable with UK & European Leftists, & as Iran is one
of the more sophisticated mohammedan regimes we can look forward to a
couple of decades of parliamentary Jew hating from the Left.
Baucent says
Hammond said Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s “revolutionary sloganizing” should be distinguished from “what Iran actually does in the conduct of its foreign policy.”
Hammond is a self delusional fool. The Ayatollah says what he means and means what he says. This is not rhetoric but the core values of the Islamic Republic, Hammond either doesn’t realise that or won’t face it. Either way it makes him a fool.
Matthieu Baudin says
I long to live for the day when the younger generation of Iranians will rejoice at the demise of these hackneyed old Islamic fossils. ” Death to Israel” what a sick joke; if these old recalcitrants didn’t have a handy ‘whipping boy’ they’d have to invent one. Pathetic stooges the lot of them.
gordon miller says
What is Israel to do in light of the reality that Iran is planning Israel’s destruction? Couple this with the fact that Russia has just signed an agreement with Iran to provide it with a state-of-the-art defense mechanism to thwart any air attack made against Iran. The date when this system is to be operational is not clear, but it is certain Iran doesn’t have it presently.
With the realization that, under its present leadership, the United States will do nothing to aid Israel in its perilous situation, what action would you take if you were Bibi Netanyahu?

I could do a number with the name of the of this Iranian””official””change a few letters to make it S++THOLEISLAM but that wouldn’t be nice would it…

“We’ve got to, as we do with quite a number of countries, distinguish the internal political consumption rhetoric from the reality of the way they conduct their foreign policy,” the Guardian quoted Hammond saying – Sure, Iran’s leadership lies to Iranians (Muslims) but speaks truthfully to Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond the infidel.
