Iran's "President" opines that, inasmuch as Germany and Austria feel so damn guilty about the Holocaust, they should establish an Israeli state on their own turf.
This is not a new idea.
In the early 1970s my father, John F. Bridge, was Opinion Editor for The National Observer, a weekly newspaper put out by Dow Jones. He wrote a long editorial piece predicting unending terrorism and war in the Middle East over the existence of Israel. A gloomy, if prescient fellow, my Dad. If his accuracy on the successive 30 years was accurate, you can be further alarmed that he also predicted a second holocaust - a nuclear one.
His solution was that the nation of Israel should be abandoned and reestablished in the continental United States.
"In the future everyone will be Hitler for fifteen minutes." - James Lileks.
That was my Dad's fifteen minutes. The Observer got more hate mail over that one editorial than any other piece they ever printed.
