Netanyahu: Iran preparing for the 'new Holocaust'
MARK COLVIN: But why now? Why this war, why now? Ex-president Jimmy Carter has pointed out that there have been a number of prisoner swaps in exactly similar circumstances to the circumstances that started this war.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: This is myopic. Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran, who's the puppeteer here, says that he is building a nuclear weapons program. And during the G8 conference, these kidnappings of soldiers were timed by Hamas, his other proxy, and Hezbollah, under his direct command, was timed to divert attention from the growing pressure to have Iran stop it's nuclear program.
So, I think they had a diversion. And this is the largest story for God's sake. It's quite remarkable that people don't see that Iran is telling you what they're going to do.
They're saying, "Israel is the first stop, we'll use Hezbollah part of the way, but we intend to launch nuclear weapons once we have them on Israel. We deny the Holocaust existed, but we're preparing the new Holocaust." And they're also saying, this is the first step in their reconquest or the reestablishment of a resurgent Islam under Shi'ite Iran.
Now you may dismiss that. Just the way people dismiss the funny little man in the 1930s, and they said, "Oh, it's not important. He's a little crazy." They're not a little crazy. They're a lot crazy.
But they mean what they say. They see this problem, this World War III that they are conducting on all of us in their madness. To see this is as a problem of prisoner swaps is ridiculous. Link
db: Benjamin Netanyahu is 'a lot crazy'. Will he return as a future PM?
