We’re beginning to think that the Iranians might have an unhealthy obsession about God’s Chosen People. And by “unhealthy” we mean “genocidal”, and by “obsession” we mean “obsession”. Here’s some insanity from last week:
Just when you thought the Iranian leadership could stoop no further: MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) reported that a top advisor to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed in an interview with Iranian website Baztab that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s parents were both Jewish and that Hitler himself was one of the founders of the State of Israel. … Ramin claims in the interview that Hitler both identified with his Judaism and was disgusted by it. It is these ambivalent feelings, said Ramin, that formed the basis for his treatment of Jews.
For a second, we thought that we had everything figured out: Hitler was a self-hating Jew, and that’s why he initiated the Holocaust. Except then we remembered that according to Iran, the Holocaust never happened. So now we’re back to square one.
Total lunatics.
