CNS NEWS: Jerusalem - A number of prominent American Christians are joining forces with Jewish efforts to indict Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on charges of incitement to genocide, Jews and Christians said in Jerusalem on Thursday.
Ahmadinejad has called Israel a “fake regime” that “must be wiped off the map.” He has called the murder of six million Jews during World War II a “myth.” In September he said that Israel was “on a definite slope to collapse” and there was no way out of the “cesspool” it had created for itself. He recently he called the Jewish State a “stinking corpse.”
His comments, coupled with Iran’s aggressive civilian nuclear program, which the West believes is a cover up for obtaining nuclear weapons, has prompted the grassroots effort to indict the Iranian leader. Several rounds of international sanctions have not stopped Iran’s enrichment of uranium, which can be used to make a nuclear bomb.
“It is disturbing to see the inactivity of the international community in reacting appropriately to the alarming threat that grows day by day,” said Malcolm Hedding, executive director of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem.
Hedding compared the comments of Ahmadinejad to those of former German dictator Adolf Hitler, who used “similar words” and “caused the destruction of the Jewish people.” At the time, there were those who rushed to meet with him and appease him, even declaring “peace in our time,” Hedding told journalists here.
“There has to be a grassroots movement that sends a message to politicians and leaders in Europe that there are millions of people who are demanding action on this issue [Iran],” said Hedding. >>> By Julie Stahl | October 17, 2008
