Iran president wants Israel ‘wiped off the map’
TEHRAN, Iran - Iran’s hard-line president called for Israel to be “wiped off the map” and said a new wave of Palestinian attacks will destroy the Jewish state, state-run media reported Wednesday.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also denounced attempts to recognize Israel or normalize relations with it.
“There is no doubt that the new wave (of attacks) in Palestine will wipe off this stigma (Israel) from the face of the Islamic world,” Ahmadinejad told students Wednesday during a Tehran conference called “The World without Zionism.”
“Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation’s fury, any (Islamic leader) who recognizes the Zionist regime means he is acknowledging the surrender and defeat of the Islamic world,” Ahmadinejad said.
Ahmadinejad also repeated the words of the founder of Iran’s Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who called for the destruction of Israel.
“As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map,” said Ahmadinejad, who came to power in August.
Ahmadinejad referred to Israel’s recent withdrawal from the Gaza Strip as a “trick,” saying Gaza is part of the Palestinian territories and the withdrawal was meant to make Islamic states acknowledge Israel.
Perhaps dropping a large bomb on the Presidential Palace in Tehran would allow the Iranian leadership to "recognize" Israel.
This is the face of our 21st century Haman.
May I remind the President of another Persian attempt to destroy the Jews that turned out badly...
And letters shall be sent by the hand of the couriers to all the king's provinces, to destroy, kill, and cause to perish all the Jews, both young and old, little children and women, on one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and their spoils to be taken as plunder......And they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai".

Well I think we can conclude that this man is evil. He has openly declared a goal of genocide and he is currently running a country. At this point I believe that if someone other than the U.S. brings this to the U.N. a demand to either have a public apology or to have a regime change that the U.N. will back it up. Atleast I would hope the U.N. would as we cannot tolerate a nations threat of genocide.
