Iran: Israel should be wiped off map

It goes beyiond just defense: The Israelis have made it known that they are willing to nuke the entire Middle Eastern region and every Arab country in the event Israel is in danger of being defeated.

How does this differ from the positions of the US and Russia or China? Do you think the Russia wouldnt resort to nukes if they were in danger of being defeated or the US for that matter? In fact havent we threatened to do just that if nukes were ever launched against us?

Though they* probably wouldn't mind using a weapon that eliminated all Jewish Israelis while leaving everything else intact.

*Whoever "they" is.

A holy weapon that could distinguish between Muslims, Jews, and the rest? Personally, I think killing all the Muslims in the ‘occupied territory’ would render decades worth of good rhetoric somewhat futile.

Wait...

Martyrs!

So, he does not want Israel on the map.

So, all we do is give him an old map of the Persian Empire, though he might get worried about those Greeks. Problem solved.

I am comic relief incarnate.

The clergy hates the old Persians. There has even been talk of flooding Persepolis.

Let me guess, is it because they where not muslims?

Alexander Pretty Good,

Such a move would involve more than expected. And these dogmatic minds are even wise enough not to attract any other attentions..They'd be seriously responded..

I am not fond of *mysterious* Israelis - nothing more than a dislike though. However, a president should be more careful about his words in such a publicised position. It's not a "hack'n-slash-it's-over" world as it was in the medieval times.

People should, especially those single-angle ones, learn that they have to do social improvements in order to get public acceptance. Driving the people's fanatic feelings forward to catalyse your power always ended up as a disaster throughout the history.

It seems to me that these comments by Ahmadinejad were made at a carefully chosen time, at a time when George Bush is at his weakest; he makes inflammatory comments, various western nations and the UN condemn the statement, Ahmadinejad portrays Iran as the victim in his nation and the surrounding region. It allows Ahmadinejad to get the most out of such a statement for a minimum of repurcusions.
