Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei took to Twitter to call
for the destruction of Israel over the weekend. He first started with a
string of vitriolic anti-Israel tweets that called for the destruction
of the “barbaric, wolflike & infanticidal regime of Israel.”
He then culminated by posting a “neat table,” as Haaretz puts
it, that lays out nine key questions on why—and how—his plan to destroy
Israel should be implemented. The post begins with the basic: Why?
Because throughout its existence “the fake Zionist regime has tried to
realize its goals by means of infanticide, homicide, violence & iron
fist.” But rest easy, Iran definitely does not want “the massacre of
the Jewish people” but rather Iran has proposed “a practical &
logical mechanism” to eliminate Israel through a referendum involving
“all the original people of Palestine, including Muslims, Chrsitians and
Jews” anywhere in the world.
The referendum would then give rise to a new government that would
then have to decide whether Jews who have relocated to Israel can stay
there or “should return to their home countries.” Khamenei is confident
that the plan “can enjoy the supports of the independent nations and
governments.”
Until the day when Khamenei’s plan can be realized, “powerful
confrontation and resolute and armed resistance” is the only way to deal
with “this ruinous regime.” And what should be the first step? Arming
the West Bank. Isn’t a compromise possible? “The fact that Yasser Arafat
was poisoned and killed by Israel while he had the most cooperation
with the Zionists proves that in the viewpoint of Israel, 'peace' is
simply a trick for more crimes and occupation,” Khamenei writes.
The post comes days after the Wall Street Journal revealed
that President Obama wrote a secret letter to Khamanei that suggested
the two nations could cooperate in fighting against ISIS. In the letter,
Obama said that any cooperation would be dependent on Iran reaching a
nuclear deal with global powers by Nov. 24. Mitt Romney harshly
criticized the letter on Friday. “That the president would write a
letter of this nature, in effect legitimizing a nation and a leadership
that is violating international norms and is threatening the world, is
so far beyond the pale, I was stunned. I was speechless,” Romney said,
according to the Washington Post.

This seems kind of nuts for anyone to say especially the leadership of a country because unless you are like North Korea which is just a lot of talk and no action most people aren't going to take you seriously at all when you say something like this.
