Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that if Germany and Austria feel responsible for massacring Jews during World War II, a state of Israel should be established on their soil. Ahmadinejad, who sparked an international outcry in October when he said Israel "must be wiped off the map", also repeated his view Thursday that the Jewish state was a "tumour"."Now that you believe the Jews were oppressed, why should the Palestinian Muslims have to pay the price?" the hardline president asked in an interview with Iran's Arabic-language satellite channel, Al-Alam.
"We do not believe that Hitler killed six million Jews, but even if this is true by some chance, then why should the Palestinians pay the price for it," he asked, and suggested that the governments in Vienna and Berlin concede two or three provinces to the Zionists and settle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict once and for all.
Right Wing Nation has open tracks
I'm sure that the European Moslems displaced by such a move will support this wholeheartedly. The Middle Easter Moslems would surely stay home and let their European brothers live in harmony with their new neighbors.
After the move, Palestine will be a shinning city on a hill. A land of Arab prosperity unencumbered by the oppressive Israelis.
Right, just like I'm the most handsome and witty man who walks the earth.

That happens every once in a while - people in other bureaus think PL stands for Palestine. The Ukraine wire (UA) also gets the occasional piece about the United Arab Emirates.
But seeing as how in the same speech he also came close to denying the Holocaust - maybe it wasn't a mistake.
