(Melbourne Herald Sun-Australia) Israel urged the world to "open its eyes" to the Iranian regime and its nuclear program after its president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, described the Holocaust as a "myth." "Thank God, Israel has the means at its disposal to bring about the downfall of this extremist regime in Iran. There will be no second 'final solution'," Prime Minister Sharon's spokesman Raanan Gissin said. "We hope that these extremist declarations will make the world wake up to the nature of this regime - especially the fact that Iran's nuclear program and its support of international terrorism represent not only a danger for Israel but for the entire Western civilization." The comments came after Ahmadinejad said in a speech that "they have invented a myth that Jews were massacred" and said the Jewish state should be moved as far away as Alaska.
