Iran-Saudi: Ahmadinejad presses on his plan for Middle East and nuclear ambition

Revolutionary Guards Ahmadinejad, mullahs' presidentNCRI – Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iranian regime’s president, proposed on Thursday that Israel should move to Europe.  

His comments in a news conference in the Saudi Arabian city of Mecca, follow his call in October for Israel to be "wiped off the map," which sparked widespread international condemnation.
"Some European countries insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces and they insist on it to the extent that if anyone proves something contrary to that they condemn that person and throw them in jail," IRNA, mullahs’ official news agency, quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.
"Although we don’t accept this claim, if we suppose it is true, our question for the Europeans is: is the killing of innocent Jewish people by Hitler the reason for their support to the occupiers of Jerusalem?" he said.
"If the Europeans are honest they should give some of their provinces in Europe to the Zionists and the Zionists can establish their state in Europe. You offer part of Europe and we will support it."
Ahmadinejad’s remarks drew swift rebukes from Israel and Washington.
"This is not the first time, unfortunately, that the Iranian president has expressed the most outrageous ideas concerning Jews and Israel," said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev.
"He is not just Israel’s problem. He is a worry for the entire international community," he added.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said: "It just further underscores our concerns about the regime in Iran and it’s all the more reason why it’s so important that the regime not have the ability to develop nuclear weapons."
Ahmadinejad also pressed on the Iranian regime’s uncompromising desire to continue with its nuclear program and said: "We are not allowed to negotiate on the principle of having peaceful nuclear technology," IRNA quoted him as telling the Mecca news conference.
European Union leaders warned clerical regime on Wednesday not to pursue work on machines able to make uranium fuel enriched to the grade used in nuclear bombs, saying such moves defied efforts to ease an international crisis over Tehran’s atomic program.
Mullahs have cold-shouldered an offer by the "EU3" powers to resume dialogue this month based on Russia’s proposal to process Iranian uranium as a joint venture to minimize the risk of bomb-making by Tehran.
