A while back - say 20, 30 years ago - it would have seemed absolutely beyond belief that so soon after the Holocaust we'd have a leading politician, the President of a country with a population of over 70 million, a country generally agreed to be a major world player, coming out with this kind of stuff. But here we are, and here he is. Added bonus: they're well on their way to acquiring nuclear weapons.

The Zionists are crooks. A small handful of Zionists, with a very intricate organization, have taken over the power centers of the world. According to our estimates, the main cadre of the Zionists consists of 2,000 individuals at most, and they have another 8,000 activists. In addition, they have several informants, who spy and provide them with intelligence information. But because of their control of power centers in the U.S. and Europe, and their control of the financial centers and the news and propaganda agencies, they spread propaganda as if they were the entire world, as if all the peoples supported them, and as if they were the majority ruling the world.

Today, I say to them: The idea of smaller Israel is dead. [...]
A Zionist organization with 2,000 [members] and with 7,000 or 8,000 activists have brought the world to a state of confusion. Let me tell them that if they themselves do not wrap up Zionism, the strong arm of the peoples will wipe these germs of corruption off the face of the earth.
And here he is, speaking at the UN in New York last week - to prolonged applause from the assembled dignitaries.
