PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
IRAN AND ISRAEL (19 February 2007)

That this House notes the President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's declarations that `Israel should be wiped off the map' and that the `Zionist regime of Israel will soon come to the end of its life'; further notes President Ahmadinejad's statement that the UK, Israel and the United States will eventually disappear from the world; further notes that President Ahmadinejad has called the `Jews a bunch of bloodthirsty barbarians', and has said that `they should know they are nearing the last days of their lives'; further notes that President Ahmadinejad has called the murder of six million Jews `a fairytale' and that Iran has holocaust denial as official government policy; believes that President Ahmadinejad is inciting genocide in his declarations; further notes Iran's development of nuclear weapons which could be used to put into effect the genocidal declarations of its President; and therefore urges the British Government to put forward a resolution at the United Nations Security Council demanding President Ahmadinejad be brought to trial on the charge of incitement to commit genocide, in clear breach of Article 2 of the Genocide Convention of 1951.
