Far-right MK: Assassinating Ahmadinejad today is like assassinating Hitler in 1939

Far-right MK Aryeh Eldad called Wednesday for the assassination of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and to use his current visit to Lebanon as the opportunity to do so.

"On the eve of World War II, had there been a man who had succeeded in assassinating (Nazi German dictator Adolf) Hitler, he would have changed the course of history and for certain the course of the Jewish people," said Eldad, of the National Union party.

"The state of Israel, which was founded so that the Jewish people would always responsible for its own fate and never again face the danger of extermination, is today in a position to assassinate, in southern Lebanon, the man who delegitimizes our very existence and threatens to annihilate us.

"To assassinate Ahmadinejad today is like assassinating Hitler in 1939," he told Israel Radio.

The National Union is a small opposition party with four mandates in the 120-seat Knesset, Israel's parliament.

Why shouldn't a head of state be allowed to make an official visit to another country?

He isn't really even the head of state in Iran.

I must've missed the memo about Obama and Hillary taking up jobs with Lebanese immigration.

Do you even have a clue about Lebanese Politics or  is the only thing you know that Hezbollah are the bad guys? Because to me that statement comes across as not very informed.

Technically he is, and even if not, he's still a government dignitary.

No, he is neither technically or effectively the head of state. He's the highest elected official, but Iran's constitution has the Supreme Leader as head of state. If there's any doubt, the Supreme Leader can actually dismiss the president if he wants. Iran's president is merely a puppet in the grand scheme of things.

[draws single deep breath]Well, I know that Israel recently released 1973 papers detailing Israeli plans to bomb Damascus during the Yom Kippur War as a warning to Assad that Israel would hold Syria responsible for a Hizballah overthrow of the government in Beirut…I know that on Sept 27 Hillary met with Muallem in New York in an attempt to stop Ahmadinejad’s visit…I know there are widespread fears amid the Arabs (especially in Egypt and Saudi Arabia)that Hariri could be knocked off…I know Lebanese military witnesses of the assassination of Rafiq Hariri are being rounded up and jailed in Lebanon in order to cover up Syria’s and Hezbollah’s role….I know Obama sent Hof to Damascus and warned Assad that Washington would hold Syria responsible for an mischief in Lebanon…I know Hariri insisted at the last minute that Ahmadinejad change his schedule for touring South Lebanon and had him escorted by the Lebanese military, rather than be escorted by Hezbollah men and Iranian Revolutionary Guards, thus preventing Nasrallah from accompanying Ahmadinejad and messing up Ahmadinejad’s schedule so badly that he couldn’t visit the Lebanese/Israeli boarder...I know Hillary sent Feltman to Beirut this past Sunday after Ahmadinejad’s visit to help assess the damage caused by the Iranian president and it was determined Ahmadinejad’s had failed to meet his goals..[/draws another breath].

So, apparently, I know a great deal more than you about what is going on in the middle east.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Lebanon is very complicated and Hizballah would hardly be easy accepted by both Christians and Sunnis. No way such a government can hold on.

Also, Syria may enjoy great relations with Tehran, but I doubt they would like to see Hizballah rising from an useful tool to a relligious Shia government in charge. Remember, they're ba'athist after all.

[Insula Dei]

Also, Israel would bomb Beirut to the ground before noon.

again, hate to shake you up, but Saudi Arabia, through the paper asharq alawsat, is advising Hariri to resign:
