(Compiler's note: Must read.)

by Robert Spencer

A strange and ominous report from a German publication.

Here is my rough translation of ''Zerstörung in elf Tagen': Iran bedroht Israel,' by Ulrich W. Sahm in n-tv.de, May 3 (thanks to The Total Collapse):

Iran has for the first time announced the destruction of Israel with a concrete goal. Israeli television showed an interview with the Iranian chief of staff General Attalah Salihi. He announced the 'destruction of Israel within eleven days.'

The Arabia expert Oded Granot explained: 'Never have we heard so clear and open an announcement from Iran.' President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has again and again announced the destruction of Israel in a general manner and as a political goal, but never so concretely and with a date, as did Salihi. Granot has not discovered why the destruction of Israel should happen in eleven days.... sharia

Corrections to my translation welcome.
