No threats here move along now…

The Religion Of Pieces
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran’s supreme leader predicted the destruction of Israel in comments posted on his Web site on Wednesday, in some of his strongest remarks in years about the Jewish state.

In the past, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called Israel a “cancerous tumor” that must be wiped from the map, but the new comments mark the first time in years he has openly speculated about Israel’s demise.

“Definitely, the day will come when nations of the region will witness the destruction of the Zionist regime,” Khamenei was quoted as saying. “How soon or late (Israel’s demise) will happen depends on how Islamic countries and Muslim nations approach the issue.”

What is more likely? That this is a threat that will be followed through, ensuring Iran is leveled into a radioactive hellscape with a half life of ten thousand years? Every single political powerhouse in Iran, they’re all fanatically suicidal, huh? That’s really what you believe?

Or is this pandering politics, where the grandstanding from the Ayatollah keeps a destitute and beaten down population in line and distracted from their own misery and lack of freedom, by giving them an enemy to hate from afar?
