Hezbollah Will Destroy Israel, Says Head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards
Mohammad Ali Jafari, head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, said on February 18th that Israel will soon be destroyed by Hezbollah, according to a report by Reuters.
"In the near future, we will witness the destruction of the cancerous existence of Israel by the powerful and competent hands of the Hezbollah combatants," Jafari was quoted as saying in a letter of condolences in the wake of the recent killing of Imad Moughniyah, a senior guerrilla commander.
As Reuters noted, Iran does not recognize Israel and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has often predicted the imminent demise of the Jewish state, drawing criticism from the West which fears Iran wants to make nuclear bombs that could threaten the region.
Nonetheless, Columbia University and its President, Lee C. Bollinger, provided a platform to Ahmadinejad last September 24, saying that students would learn from questioning the dictator first hand.
Moughniyah did not have the opportunity to speak at the Ivy League institution before his death in a car bombing last week.
If Jafari is correct, and Hezbollah is able to destroy Israel, it will give the students at Columbia many good topics to discuss in courses and no doubt provide many new terrorists available to speak at the school.
