'Madinejad suggests Israel move to Alaska, but he's loved in New York City

Jew-baiter Mahmoud Ahmadinejad suggests the Jewish state move to either Europe, Canada or Alaska. Israelis weren't thrilled by the suggestion, but a Saturday Night Live video skit suggests that the diminutive Iranian President may be in high demand in the meat-packing district.

As millions of Iranians attended nationwide rallies Friday in support of the Palestinians on "Al-Quds" (Arab for Jerusalem), Ahmadinejad continued his assault on Israel's existence.

"The creation, continued existence and unlimited (Western) support for this regime is an insult to human dignity," Ahmadinejad said. "The occupation of Palestine is not limited to one land. The Zionist issue is now a global issue."

In tTeheran, hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets chanting "Death to America" and "Death to Israel," some burning the flags of "big Satan" and "little Satan."

The Iranian president said Palestinians should not pay a price because Europeans committed crimes against Jews in World War II.

"I ask European governments supporting Zionists and the American people that will you allow occupation of part of your land under a pretext and then talk about a two-state solution," Ahmadinejad said.

"Give these vast lands of Canada and Alaska to them to create a country for themselves," the rodent-like runt suggested.

Israelis were cool to the suggestion.

Likud leader MK Benjamin Netanyahu said that Ahmadinejad "is not only a Holocaust denier but also a denier of the link between the people of Israel and its land, which is thousands of years old," adding that "He is threatening and putting us in an absurd situation between exile and annihilation."

Meretz MK Yossi Beilin said Ahmadinejad was "mentally ill" and "dangerous to the world and his people," adding that "We need to organize a coalition of sane people in the world in order to help the Iranian people to get rid of him," Beilin added.

Likud MK Yisrael Katz said Ahmadinejad was "a fool and dangerous dog who is threatening to wipe out the State of Israel and he should be destroyed like a fool dog."

"The State of Israel has to declare that it will do all to prevent Iran from acquiring weapons of mass destruction and that should Iran harm Israel in any way, whole areas in Iran will be completely wiped out and the Iranian people who is responsible for electing Ahmadinejad will pay the price," Katz said.

While Ahmadinejad would have Jews become "Men in Trees", some enterprising music video producers portrayed the Iranian President as one of the "Village People," a love-struck gay suitor, at one point attired in a sexy red dress lying atop a sportscar.



"I Ran So Far" features the following line: "You say there are no gays in Iran, but you're in New York now, baby."
