'No calm in Mideast as long as Israel exists'
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4078038,00.html

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday repeated his assertion that there will be no tranquility in the Middle East as long as Tehran's archenemy, Israel, continues to exist.


"As long as the Zionist regime exists, if only on a small piece of land in Palestine, the region will not see tranquility" he said to a crowd gathered at the mausoleum of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on the eve of the 22nd anniversary of the revolutionary leader's death.

"So all the people of the region shall move towards the disappearance of American domination in the region and the disappearance of the Zionist regime," Ahmadinejad said in the speech, which was broadcast live on state radio.

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also made comments, saying that Iran backs "the undivided country of Palestine which belongs to the Palestinians."

1. How friendly!
Now there's a peace-loving gentleman. As King Hussein of Jordan once said: if the Israelis ceded all their land except for nine square inches, then the fundamentalists would fight and die by the thousands for those nine square inches."

He was absolutely correct...and the Iranian fundies are not alone, not by a longshot.

5. It's worse than that as many western useful idiots feel the same way...
...but they're clever enough to never utter their tripe in such a crude way.

4. Some people claim this is not antisemitism


Just antiZionism or some other 'coded' language.

6. Ahmadinejad is a right-wing bigoted idiot
Who in addition, likes to deflect his people's anger onto The Great Bogeynation, rather than onto himself and his dreadful government.

8. I think you may have meant "jerk" rather than idiot.
He may be many unsavory things, but the guy isn't stupid.

10. I basically meant 'lunatic' rather than 'idiot'...
though it's admittedly sometimes hard to tell when someone really believes in the bizarre theories that they espouse, and when they wish to whip them up in others for their own cynical purposes.
