This news from Iran — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is once again drawing international condemnation for remarks directed at Israel. In a speech carried on state television Wednesday, Ahmadinejad called the Nazi Holocaust a “myth” and repeated his belief that Israel should be moved to another continent, saying: “They have invented a myth that Jews were massacred and place this above God, religions and the prophets… Our proposal is this: give a piece of your land in Europe, the United States, Canada or Alaska so they (the Jews) can create their own state.”

Ahmadinejad’s comments come at a time of heightened tensions between Israel and Iran. Last weekend, the Times of London reported Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had ordered the military to be ready by the end of March for possible strikes on secret uranium enrichment sites in Iran. Israel denied the report, but said it would never rule out the option of a military strike.
