Cant wait for them to go Nuclear. According to the President, they will likely hit NYC first but after that, Israel should be on guard. Khamenei frequently describes Israel (or at least Zionism) in the most despicable of terms, and calls for its destruction. In one of his most offensive moments in 2001, Khamenei was quoted as saying, “There is evidence which shows that Zionists had close relations with German Nazis and exaggerated statistics on Jewish killings.” Similarly, after a Danish newspaper published a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad, Khamenei noted that in the West, “casting doubt or negating the genocide of the Jews is banned but insulting the beliefs of 15 billion Muslims is allowed.” Khamenei’s Holocaust denial on Friday is also significant in that it is at direct odds with the line taken by Iran’s current president, Hassan Rouhani. Since taking office, Rouhani and his Foreign Minister Mohammad Zarif have gone to great lengths to counter the widespread perception (from the Ahmadinejad era, largely) that Iran is anti-Semitic.
