EU Reacts Angrily to Ahmadinejad's Latest Israel Remarks

Khaleej Times Online:

The European Union on Saturday condemned the latest remarks by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad about Israel, in which he said that the Palestinians and “other nations” would eventually remove the Jewish state.

“That this type of completely unacceptable remarks are continually being repeated does not mean we should accept them in silence,” Ursula Plassnik, the foreign minister of Austria which currently holds the EU presidency, said in a statement. READ MORE

Plassnik stressed that the only path to peace in the Middle East involved Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in a two-state situation, without the threat of terrorism or violence.

Speaking Saturday in Teheran on the 27th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, Ahmadinejad again described the Holocaust as a “fairy tale.”

Palestinians with the help of “other nations” would one day remove Israel from the region, he told a mass demonstration in the Iranian capital.
