Amid international tension raised by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s suggestion that Israel be moved to Europe, as well as his statement doubting whether the Holocaust ever occurred, Israel has offered in exchange to “move Iran back to the Stone Age, and cover the relocation costs.”

The comments, made by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, were the latest in an on-going exchange started this week when the Iranian Leader suggested that the Holocaust never happened and that if European countries like Germany were the perpetrators of the slaughter of Jews, they should be the ones to donate territory for the creation of a Jewish state.

Said Sharon:

“We appreciate and are examining the Iranian leader’s generous recommendation that Israel move to Europe. We do agree that there is an issue with territorial congestion in the mid-east, and that all options should be considered in trying to alleviate that problem. Therefore, we would like to graciously reciprocate the Iranian offer with one of our own: before leaving for our new territory in Europe, we’ll be happy to relocate Iran back to the Stone Age. We believe it’s a relatively short trip for the Iranian country, and therefore believe we can accommodate the move with a few, uh, minor shipments.”

The offer was viewed by many as a sign of hope at the end of a week that saw the rhetoric escalate between the two countries.

“All this talk of helping each other move, it just warms my heart,” said UN Chief Kofi Annan. “I love it when my kids play nice.”

Israel also offered to address Ahmadinejad’s other complaint, the jailing of people in some European countries who publicly dispute the reality of the Holocaust.

“We are more than happy to keep European jail space free,” said Sharon. “So, in the spirit of trying to address each of the Iranian leader’s concerns, we will offer to bring these clearly misunderstood people to Israel, where we can listen to their concerns with the evidence of the Holocaust first hand, in an open forum. We’re more than happy to listen and learn, and incorporate these fine folk into the Israeli landscape.”
