Mr. Ahmadinejad might as well have been reading from the genocidal “Protocols of the Elders of Zion.” It was the Jew-hater’s valedictory address. Having already threatened to wipe Israel off the map, Mr. Ahmadinejad graduated to the next level of hatemongering. Deploying rhetoric not heard in the international arena since the days of Hitler and using imagery usually reserved for the rants of the KKK and neo-Nazis, he came after all Jews. In the midst of the unprecedented global economic meltdown, Mr. Ahmadinejad pointed to a network of “Zionists” and their lackeys as scheming, “materialistic” villains responsible for the world’s ills.
