It looks obvious

I wrote in the past that when the Iranian president attacking Israel, he is doing so for Internal Iranian and Islamic reasons. I also think that the Iranian analysis is that the risk of military attack by the west is small.
In today’s newspaper I read that in a speech yesterday Ahmadinejad said that the holocaust is a myth. One still wonders about the wisdom of such speeches during a time when the international tension regarding the Iranian nuclear project. Moreover, such statements coming from Irans president demonstrating more than tactic.
I think that Irans long term interests should lead it to alliance with Israel and therefore the Israeli strategy should be to ease the tension. However it seems that we are dealing here with the type of leadership that need to be removed since it danger the entire region.
