If all goes as planned, one day we'll have the opportunity to send our kids to Iran to fight and die in Israel's next war!

WARSAW, Poland -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu kicked off a two-day visit to Poland, which Germany's Nazis occupied during World War II and where they committed the worst crimes ever against the Jewish people, with a stern warning about a potential Holocaust from Iran.
Netanyahu said Wednesday the upcoming "so-called" Iranian presidential election will "change nothing" in the Islamic republic's quest for nuclear weapons and that the regime will continue to pursue a bomb aimed at destroying Israel. Iran insists its uranium enrichment program has only peaceful goals.
Iran's election overseers have approved a list of would-be hopefuls, most of them loyalists favoured by both the theocracy and the military, and any future president will likely side with the supreme leadership's nuclear aspirations.
"This is a regime that is building nuclear weapons with the expressed purpose to annihilate Israel's 6 million Jews," he said, alluding to the number of Jews killed by the Nazis during World War II. "We will not allow this to happen. We will never allow another Holocaust."
Israel considers Iran its greatest threat because of its support of Islamic militant groups, its arsenal of long-range missiles and primarily its advanced nuclear program.
