Iranian Nazis

Tongue Tied links to this powerful editorial on antisemitism in Iran from the Sydney Morning Herald:

"We are witnessing the toxic convergence of the advocacy of the most horrific of crimes, genocide, embedded in the most virulent of hatreds, anti-Semitism. It is dramatised by the parading in Tehran streets of a Shihab-3 missile draped in the words 'Israel must be wiped off the map' while the assembled thousands are exhorted to chants of 'death to Israel'.Ahmadinejad's Iran is increasingly resorting to incendiary and demonising language, including epidemiological metaphors reminiscent of Nazi incitement. Ahmadinejad and other officials characterise Israel as a 'filthy germ', a 'stain of disgrace' and 'a stinking corpse', while referring to Israelis as 'the true manifestation of Satan' and 'blood-thirsty barbarians', as a prologue to - and justification for - a Middle East genocide, while at the same time denying the Nazi one."
